Patients at Guy's and St Thomas' will benefit from a full-body scanner that will enable more effective diagnosis of patients with serious diseases. It will feed findings into the National PET Imaging Platform, building a bank of data from patients to support development of new medicines.



When Department of Health and Social Care 🤝 Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and NHS 🤝 universities and business… … we drive great science and better care

A new scanner that has the potential to scan 50% more patients per day, can detect early signs of cancers as well as neurological, cardiovascular & musculoskeletal conditions. Peter Kyle & Wes Streeting saw this machine first-hand Guy's and St Thomas'.
