uIMAGING Unveils BDR-86 CBCT: World’s First Pet-Specific CT Device for Cancer & Tumor Diagnosis uIMAGING, launches world’s first pet-specific BDR-86 CBCT. It enables precise cancer & tumor diagnosis for pets with tailored tech, setting new standards in veterinary imaging.
October 15, 2024 – uIMAGING, the premium veterinary imaging brand under BMV ANIMAL CARE, today made a landmark announcement with the launch of its BDR-86 CBCT: the world’s first cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system specifically designed for pets. This groundbreaking device delivers precise diagnosis of pet cancer and tumors, setting a new industry standard in veterinary imaging and marking the dawn of an era of “pet-specific CT” for precision pet healthcare.
World’s First: Pet-Specific CT Solves Critical Cancer & Tumor Diagnosis Challenges
n the pet healthcare space, traditional imaging equipment is often repurposed from human medical devices with minimal modifications. These one-size-fits-all solutions fall short in precision and field-of-view adaptability, making it difficult to detect small tumors and cancerous lesions in pets—especially small dogs and cats. The uIMAGING BDR-86 CBCT changes this paradigm as the first CT device engineered entirely around the unique physiological traits of pets, filling a key industry gap through three major technical breakthroughs:
Tailored Scanning Parameters for Pets: Designed to match the bone density and internal organ distribution of dogs and cats, the system features custom low-dose X-ray settings that reduce radiation exposure by 75% compared to traditional equipment. Without compromising image clarity, it generates thin-slice images with 0.1mm resolution—clear enough to identify tiny tumors as small as 2mm in diameter and detect lymph node metastases, all while safeguarding the health of both pets and veterinary staff.
• AI-Powered Tumor Detection System: Built with a comprehensive pet cancer database covering over 20 common tumor types—including canine lymphoma and feline mammary cancer—the system automatically marks lesion boundaries, calculates tumor volume, and generates a “malignancy probability report” post-scan. This AI assistance helps veterinarians boost diagnostic accuracy to over 92%.
• Small Pet-Friendly Design: The compact 60cm×50cm scanning chamber accommodates pets weighing 0.5kg to 50kg, making it ideal for small companion animals. Paired with a quiet operation system (noise level ≤40 decibels), it minimizes stress in pets during examinations—addressing the longstanding pain points of traditional CT systems, which are often too large and noisy for small pets.
Beyond Tumor Diagnosis: Comprehensive Coverage for Routine Pet Clinical Needs
• Oral & Dental 3D Imaging: Clearly visualizes details like tooth root cysts and alveolar bone resorption in dogs and cats, providing precise guidance for pet dental surgeries.
• High-Resolution Spinal & Joint Scanning: Supports 360° spiral scanning to generate 3D spinal models, aiding in the diagnosis of common orthopedic conditions such as herniated discs and hip dysplasia.
• Dynamic Imaging Function: Offers fluoroscopy at 15 frames per second, enabling real-time observation of dynamic conditions like gastrointestinal foreign body movement and heart valve function in pets.
BMV ANIMAL CARE’s Technical Backing: End-to-End Support from R&D to Deployment
Backed by BMV ANIMAL CARE’s 20 years of experience in veterinary equipment R&D, the uIMAGING BDR-86 CBCT has obtained international certifications . To ensure seamless adoption, uIMAGING provides end-to-end support for global customers, covering on-site installation, operator training, a one-year free warranty, and 24/7 technical assistance. Pre-orders for the BDR-86 CBCT are now open worldwide, with initial shipments prioritized for mature pet healthcare markets in North America and Europe. Further expansion will follow through BMV ANIMAL CARE’s global distribution network.
“The launch of the BDR-86 CBCT means pets finally have access to a CT system built specifically for them,” said the uIMAGING Product Director. “This isn’t just a technical breakthrough—it’s a recognition of the value of pets’ lives and health. Our goal is to help more pets get their cancer and tumors detected, diagnosed, and treated early through this innovative device.”
