Why China
Precision Imaging (United Imaging uEXPLORER)
01Equipment density and speed
Major first-tier-city centers are densely equipped with PET/CT, 3.0T MRI and 256-slice CT, typically completing a full imaging and pathology workup within 1–3 days — dramatically shortening time to diagnosis.
02Early adoption of novel molecular probes
Novel PET tracers such as PSMA, FAPI and DOTATATE are routine at major centers, achieving internationally advanced detection accuracy for prostate, pancreatic and neuroendocrine tumors.
03Authoritative pathology review
Pathology departments at Fudan and the National Cancer Center serve as national consultation hubs, completing tens of thousands of outside-case reviews annually with full IHC and molecular panels.
04Internationally usable reports
Imaging is delivered with DICOM source data and structured Chinese/English reports; pathology slides can be released for outside review, enabling seamless continuation with home-country physicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do tests need repeating if I already have results?+
Most high-quality imaging (CT/MRI/PET within 3 months) can be used directly; decision-critical items (pathology review, target testing) are best verified at the receiving hospital so the plan rests on a reliable foundation.
Does PET/CT carry radiation risk?+
A whole-body PET/CT delivers about 10–15 mSv, comparable to 3–5 years of natural background radiation — benefit far outweighs risk. After the scan, hydrate well for 24 hours and avoid close contact with pregnant women and children.
What materials does pathology review require?+
Bring the original pathology report, H&E slides and the paraffin block (or 10–15 unstained slides), plus IHC slides and reports. If the block cannot be hand-carried, it can be shipped in advance — we assist with customs and cold chain.
How soon after tests is a plan available?+
Imaging reports are issued same or next day; pathology review takes 3–5 working days; molecular testing 7–10 working days. The MDT convenes within 1–2 days of key results being complete and issues a written plan.
Detailed Information
Examinations and purposes
PET/CT serves whole-body staging and response assessment; contrast MRI details soft-tissue regions such as liver, brain and pelvis; contrast CT covers routine chest-abdomen staging; endoscopic ultrasound and bronchoscopy obtain samples from luminal tumors; bone scan and whole-body MRI assess skeletal disease. Pathology review with molecular testing is the definitive basis. Physicians prescribe the leanest effective combination per tumor type and stage, avoiding duplication.
Three-day assessment pathway
Day 1: registration, consultation with the attending physician, test ordering and baseline labs/ECG. Day 2: PET/CT or contrast MRI/CT, with endoscopic sampling the same day when indicated. Day 3: pathology review and molecular testing submitted; the team consolidates findings and schedules the MDT. A written treatment plan follows within 1–2 days of complete results.
Report and data delivery
Imaging: DICOM source data (disc/secure link) plus structured Chinese/English reports. Pathology: consultation report, with slides and blocks released per hospital policy. Molecular testing: complete NGS report with interpretation. All materials are translated and organized for handover, enabling seamless continuation of care with home-country physicians.
