Dankook University Hospital Introduces Next-Generation Digital PET-CT System to Enhance Precision Diagnosis of Cancer and Other Diseases

Dankook University Hospital announced on September 1 that it has introduced GE HealthCare's next-generation digital PET-CT system, the OMNI Legend 32, to enhance precision diagnostic capabilities for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, brain disorders, and cardiac conditions. PET-CT is an important nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging modality. During the examination, a radiopharmaceutical is injected into the patient, and the system observes metabolic activity through positron emission tomography (PET) while simultaneously confirming anatomical structures via computed tomography (CT), thereby providing imaging evidence for clinical diagnosis. According to the hospital, the newly introduced OMNI Legend 32 employs AI-based image reconstruction technology to visualize small lesions with greater clarity, assisting physicians in making more accurate assessments...

Global PET Market Expected to Reach $2.81 Billion by 2035, PET-CT Remains Dominant

A market research report shows that the global Positron Emission Tomography (PET) market size is expected to increase from $1.86 billion in 2025 to $2.81 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.26% from 2026 to 2035. Increased demand for cancer diagnosis, expanded application of hybrid imaging technologies such as PET-CT and PET-MRI, and continued development of molecular imaging technologies are considered major factors driving market growth. The report notes that PET scans are being increasingly used in scenarios such as cancer detection and treatment evaluation, cardiac disease assessment, and diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Meanwhile, population aging, rising healthcare expenditures, and growing demand for early screening are also driving...
