Leave a comment

With uMI Panorama™, United Imaging Continues to Push the Envelope on Whole-Body System Performance

HOUSTON, June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — United Imaging, a global leader in manufacturing advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment and a Leadership Circle sponsor at this year’s SNMMI, is making news on several fronts at SNMMI’s annual meeting in Chicago this week.

“There has been a debate in the marketplace for a while about the relative importance of resolution, axial field of view (FOV), and time of flight (TOF),” said Jeffrey Bundy, Ph.D, CEO of United Imaging Healthcare Solutions about the company’s product launch. “With the new wide-bore uMI Panorama and its 2.9 mm NEMA resolution, 35 cm axial FOV and 194 ps timing resolution, we will gladly have a conversation on any single specification or the collective benefit of all of them, because with this particular product, the need to compromise is gone.”

The uMI Panorama was teased recently in the media as one of United Imaging’s four new products in four different imaging modalities so far this year. Cheri Gottke, Vice President of the Molecular Imaging portfolio for the U.S., added that the uMI Panorama is currently installed at Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake City, Utah and that “we chose SNMMI as the official stage to debut it.”   

United Imaging is showcasing a cutting-edge Molecular Imaging technology platform along with the uMI Panorama, called uExcel. The platform integrates hardware and software innovations to optimize performance, imaging capabilities and system functionalities. Its ultra-digital platform (UDP) detector boasts a high-performance ASIC chip, and its AI-empowered workflow streamlines operations and enhances examination efficiency. Exceptional image quality can be achieved with a lower dose, and the quality assurance module maintains peak performance of the system.

The uMI Panorama is a family of products that also includes a 510k pending system with a 148 cm axial FOV, the uMI Panorama GS. Built on the uExcel platform, this ultra-long axial FOV system allows for fast and high-resolution whole-body PET/CT imaging in a single bed position. The uMI Panorama GS is also being unveiled at SNMMI.  

United Imaging continues to see steady acceleration in demand for its popular digital PET/CT the uMI® 550, in both mobile and fixed configurations. “This is one of our most important molecular imaging innovations,” continued Gottke. “The entire digital portfolio from the uMI 550 to the uMI Panorama offers exceptional PET and CT image quality that improves quantitative accuracy and small lesion detectability. Our portfolio includes All-In Configurations™ and Software Upgrades for Life™ so that all our scanners truly stand the test of time from both a technological and a clinical perspective.”

The entire uMI portfolio is also “Born with AI” from the ground up, rather than being retrofitted with it later. This allows a seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across all products, which optimizes daily workflow, improves the patient experience, and creates stunning diagnostic images. United Imaging’s artificial intelligence (uAI®) streamlines routine clinical workflows by auto iso-centering patients and defining the scan range. Its systems also allow faster scanning with less dose, while improving PET and CT imaging quality and providing image consistency in all clinical settings, from academic to freestanding imaging centers. 

SNMMI announced in its Value Initiative Newsletter that United Imaging is joining the Leadership Circle and taking an Industry co-chair position. 

United Imaging this week is also hosting two Satellite Symposiums (available for registration on the SNMMI meeting website) and a by-invitation-only customer event:

State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Unveils AI-Powered Service Team

Leave a comment

Virtual team will ensure stable power supply for the upcoming 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou

HANGZHOU, China, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On June 15 at 10:27 AM, the intelligent monitor in the distribution network control hall at the power supply service command center of State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Company ( “SGHPSC”) issued a power outage alert. The alert signaled that the Gudang Substation 10 kV Zhaori 9674 line switch had tripped. Swiftly responding to the situation, the emergency repair expert promptly identified the affected area, and directed the repair crew to the location. Within one minute, Mr. Cai, a resident in the affected area, received a text message from the company notifying him about the outage. Simultaneously, the automated distribution system isolated the fault, restoring power to surrounding areas within three minutes. Approximately 20 minutes later, the company’s emergency repair personnel arrived on-site. Notably, this was the first time where the power supplier utilized the virtual office platform, summoning digital workers to resolve a power outage. The virtual dispatcher, nicknamed Patch, granted permission for the crew to commence their work, ensuring swift resolution of the issue. Coinciding with these events, SGHPSC organized a mobilization meeting to mark the 100-day countdown to the Hangzhou Asian Games. During the meeting the company reaffirmed its commitment to do its part to assure that the classic event would take place without a hitch by ensuring a stable power supply.

In March 2022, SGHPSC set in motion a plan to implement a six-module virtual digital employee platform, including virtual dispatching, intelligent monitoring, intelligent emergency repair, virtual office, and intelligent customer service. Each module corresponds to one dedicated digital worker, among them Patch and the emergency repair expert. By seamlessly integrating these six “employees” into the power supply service command system, SGHPSC achieved a remarkable synergy between human expertise and digital capabilities.

In 2018, SGHPSC embarked on a transformative journey by incorporating AI technology into its power grid command service, embedding into the distribution network an innovative “power brain” consisting of a grid knowledge graph, a multi-round human-robot dialogue engine, and a business decision engine. The first of these digital employees, the virtual dispatcher Patch, emerged as a remarkable outcome of this technological integration. Since then, a series of new AI-based members modeled on Patch have joined the team, including an intelligent monitor, virtual commissioner, office assistant, intelligent customer service employee, and emergency repair expert.

“The virtual digital employee team has integrated data from 17 distinct production management systems while utilizing AI and robotic process automation to handle simple repetitive tasks, significantly enhancing our productivity,” explained Jiang Jian, head of SGHPSC’s power supply command center. “The six virtual employees worked together seamlessly to streamline 27 business applications across six key functions within the power supply service command center, achieving a task replacement rate of over 50%.”

In addition to automated filtering and analysis of alerts from power grid operations, the intelligent monitor, working hand-in-hand with Patch and the emergency repair expert, proactively issue abnormal notifications that trigger the incident response process. This reduces the time required for fault investigation and reporting from 5 minutes to 1 minute. Furthermore, the virtual office assistant efficiently manages 10 common application scenarios, including automated work order dispatch (customer service hotline: 95598), work order review assistance, and customer briefing generation, completing an average of 7 reports per day and showcasing its remarkable efficiency in handling these tasks.

As the Hangzhou Asian Games approach, the AI-powered service team is set to enhance its collaborative mechanism, optimizing it for real-time monitoring of distribution network equipment and swift deployment of on-site emergency repair services through the utilization of digital tools. This strategic approach ensures the team’s ability to provide a secure and stable power supply while delivering optimized and efficient power services throughout the event. With these measures in place, the AI-powered service team is fully prepared to meet the power demands and expectations of the Games, ensuring a seamless and successful event.

Run:ai and AI Singapore partner to propel AI adoption across the ecosystem

Leave a comment

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Run:ai, the leader in compute orchestration for AI workloads, announced today that it’s been chosen as a strategic partner by AI Singapore, a national R&D programme launched by the National Research Foundation, Singapore, which is focused on anchoring deep national capabilities in AI. This collaboration aims to deliver scalable infrastructure solutions for a wide range of AI projects and help AI Singapore in its mission to accelerate the adoption of AI by the industry.

There’s a global race underway for AI dominance, and countries around the world are heavily investing to gain an advantage. With over 50 countries already rolling out their national strategies for AI development, the competition is fierce. Singapore has set its sights on leading the charge and aims to be a global leader in developing and deploying AI by 2030.

As the national AI programme, AI Singapore plays a central role in helping organizations adopt AI solutions. Through their flagship 100 Experiments Programme (100E) coupled with the award-winning AI Apprenticeship Programme (AIAP), they have worked with more than 60 companies and trained more than 200 Singaporean AI engineers to develop, test and deploy hundreds of AI models that address real world problems. Given the ever-changing nature of AI workloads and the scale at which AISG’s programmes operate, distributing compute resources, including GPUs across on-premise and cloud infrastructures effectively between the various projects is a significant challenge.

Run:ai’s platform helps organizations effectively handle multiple projects by automatically scaling and scheduling GPU resources. The platform provides clear visibility into GPU consumption and usage, simplifying the management process and allowing organizations to optimize their AI projects across different environments.

“Effectively managing resources and infrastructure is vital to supporting our diverse portfolio of AI projects,” said Laurence Liew, Director of AI Innovation, AI Singapore. “By streamlining resource allocation, we can reduce the cost and environmental impact of our AI systems and deliver more value to our stakeholders and partners. Run:ai is a key enabler of this process, providing us with the tools and insights to optimize our AI workflows and infrastructure. We are delighted to work with Run:ai and benefit from their innovative and scalable technology.”

“Successfully leveraging AI is critical for every country,” said Omri Geller, CEO and co-founder of Run:ai. “We believe that our solution will play a pivotal role in enabling AI Singapore to meet the AI development needs of their community, including startups, universities, and businesses looking to embark on AI projects.”
