United Imaging Healthcare's uMR Jupiter 5T MRI system has been officially introduced at Hanoi Medical University Hospital (HMUH), Vietnam, marking the arrival of the first whole-body clinical 5T MRI in the Asia-Pacific region (outside China).
The launch ceremony was attended by He Wei, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Vietnam, along with representatives from the Vietnamese government and Ministry of Health, underscoring the importance attached to the event by both China and Vietnam.
Building on this milestone, United Imaging Healthcare and HMUH also established the 5T MRI Research Center of Excellence and AI-Powered Clinical Research Center of Excellence, creating a regional platform for advancing ultra-high-field MRI clinical applications, scientific research, medical education, and academic collaboration.
As the world's first whole-body ultra-high-field 5T MRI system, uMR Jupiter combines a 5T magnetic field with a high-performance gradient system to support whole-body imaging across the brain and nervous system, musculoskeletal system, abdomen, cardiovascular system, pelvis, and vasculature.
The system also enables large-area, high-resolution imaging of structures such as the brachial plexus and lower-extremity vessels. Integrated AI technologies further support the analysis and integration of multi-sequence imaging information, enabling more detailed visualisation of anatomical structures including vascular lumens and vessel walls.
To mark the launch of uMR Jupiter 5T, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, the Vietnam Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, and United Imaging Healthcare jointly hosted an opening ceremony and academic exchange on October 26.
