In the world of advanced medical technology, it is easy to reduce progress solely to technical parameters: the number of layers in a CT scanner, magnetic field induction, or detector resolution. However, for United Imaging Healthcare (UIH), these numbers are only a means to an end, not an end in themselves. The foundation of the company’s operations is its mission: “To provide everyone with the same level of healthcare.”

This commitment shapes every stage of the company’s activities – from the design of innovative components, through cooperation with academic centers within the Innovation platform, to the implementation of solutions that facilitate the daily work of doctors. In this article, we will look at how the philosophy of “passion for change” translates into real benefits for the three pillars of modern medicine: patients, medical staff, and researchers.

The patient at the center of attention. Technology that ensures comfort and safety.

The mission to ensure equal access to healthcare means creating equipment that eliminates diagnostic barriers. United Imaging designs its devices so that examinations are possible and comfortable for every patient, regardless of their age, weight, or mental condition.

Claustrophobia and obesity are no longer a problem

Standard magnetic resonance imaging systems often pose a challenge for patients suffering from claustrophobia or obesity. UIH’s answer to this problem is the uMR Omega system.

• Revolutionary design: With the industry’s widest gantry opening of 75 cm, the examination becomes much less stressful and accessible to bariatric patients who may have previously been excluded from MR diagnostics.
• Speed equals comfort: The use of acquisition acceleration technology (uCS) reduces the time spent in the scanner, which is crucial for children and patients who experience pain when lying still for long periods of time.

Dose safety: a priority in CT and DR

Patient care also means minimizing radiation exposure. In computed tomography systems (uCT series), the Z-Detector plays a key role, reducing electronic noise and allowing diagnostic images to be obtained at lower radiation doses. A similar approach has been adopted in digital mammography systems (e.g., uMammo 890i), where low-dose breast tomosynthesis technology enables precise 3D imaging while maintaining the highest standards of radiation protection.

A holistic approach

The company’s flagship product, uEXPLORER®, enables whole-body scanning in a single position. For cancer patients, this means one comprehensive examination instead of a series of scans, saving time and reducing the stress associated with the diagnostic process.

Support for doctors – intelligence that streamlines work

Faced with a growing number of examinations and the workload of medical staff, United Imaging focuses on solutions that automate routine tasks and allow radiologists and technicians to focus on what is most important – the patient and the diagnosis.

Automation and AI

UIH systems are designed for efficient workflow.

• In computed tomography (e.g., uCT 520) and digital radiography (DR) systems, artificial intelligence-based algorithms support automatic patient positioning. This ensures repeatability of examinations and eliminates human error.
• In DR systems (such as the uDR 780i Pro) and mobile X-ray machines, uVision technology offers remote video viewing and exposure control (even from a tablet). This allows the technician to monitor patient safety while maintaining distance and reducing their own exposure to radiation.

Diagnostic certainty

Support for physicians primarily involves providing them with images of uncompromising quality. Digital detectors in PET/CT systems (uMI series) and advanced sequences in magnetic resonance imaging (even those with a 1.5T field such as the uMR 680) provide detailed anatomical and functional data, facilitating accurate therapeutic decisions.

Supporting science. The uInnovation platform and forward-looking research

United Imaging goes beyond its role as an equipment manufacturer, positioning itself as an active partner in the world of science. The company’s philosophy is that innovation arises at the intersection of technology and clinical medicine.

uInnovation – synergy of cooperation

The uInnovation platform is a space for cooperation between companies, hospitals, universities, and research institutes. The goal is “free interdisciplinary communication” that inspires the creation of new solutions. The company not only provides tools, but also works with partners to modify designs and refine research processes.

Tools of the future

The launch of the uMR Jupiter 5.0T system – the first whole-body MRI scanner with such high induction – proves that UIH provides scientists with tools to explore previously unknown areas, such as neurobiology, pushing the boundaries of what is visible.

UIH – more than just technology

When analyzing United Imaging Healthcare’s offerings and activities, it is clear that “Passion for Change” is not just an empty slogan. The company is building an ecosystem in which advanced engineering (own factories, full control over production) serves higher goals. By supporting doctors with smart tools, caring for the dignity and comfort of patients through ergonomic design, and providing scientists with instruments for “far-sighted research,” United Imaging Healthcare is realizing its vision of being a leader in innovation. It is development with a mission that proves that in 21st-century medicine, technology must have a human face.
