The PHAROS PET Scanner is a top-quality positron emission tomography system that creates detailed images, helping doctors make accurate diagnoses and plan more effective treatments. It was designed with precision and ease of use in mind, setting new standards for imaging, especially in neurological care. One of its key features is the ability to physically adjust both the seating and detector parts, making the scanner adaptable to various kinds of scans. It can be used for brain, breast, and body part imaging and can be switched between lying down and sitting positions, making it very flexible for different clinical needs.
The PHAROS scanner stands out because of its advanced detector technology, which allows it to create very clear images. This high level of detail helps doctors spot small and subtle issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. In addition to its image quality, the scanner is compact, making it a good fit for hospitals and clinics with limited space. Its design is efficient, so it can be installed easily without affecting its performance, which is especially helpful in busy or space-limited medical settings.

Another key benefit of the system is its flexibility. Doctors can change the scanner’s setup depending on the type of scan needed, making it useful for a wide range of tests. It also offers a more comfortable experience for patients, which can lead to better cooperation during scans and more satisfaction. The user interface is designed to support smooth workflows, so medical staff can use it easily and integrate it into their daily routines without needing a lot of extra training.
Professor Jae Sung Lee, the CEO and founder of Brightonix Imaging, commented on the importance of this milestone. He said the FDA approval is a major achievement for the company and the medical imaging field. According to Professor Lee, the PHAROS PET Scanner will give healthcare professionals more accurate and earlier detection of neurological conditions. He believes this will make a real difference in how patients are diagnosed and treated, leading to better health outcomes. The development of the PHAROS scanner was also supported in part by the Korea Medical Device Development Fund. This support shows the commitment of several government agencies in South Korea to advancing medical technology. As Brightonix starts distributing the scanner in the U.S., the company aims to continue pushing innovation in diagnostic imaging and provide better tools to doctors around the world.
