The CMI^NEN Twente facility will be located in the east wing of building "the Gallery" (for insiders, this is the former Langezijds building) at the campus of the University of Twente in Enschede. We are proud to inform you that the casco building has recently been completed. For a full photo impression, click here.

Early 2013 we will start mounting, so that by the fall the scanning facilities, waiting and dressing rooms for patients, offices and labs for the specialists and a distinguishing entrance will be ready for use. To optimally use the state-of-the-art medical imaging facilities and ensure that patients will benefit from the extra clinical capacity, we aim for a close cooperation with Medisch Spectrum Twente (MST) and Zorggroep Twente (ZGT).

At the CMI Facility in Twente four state-of-the-art Siemens imaging systems will be installed. These include the following image modalities: 

PET-MRI

The flagship product of CMI is Siemens latest PET/MRI scanner. The scanner shows the function of organs, soft tissues, and other internal bodily structures (PET), while providing simultaneous images (MRI) of those organs. It is the first system installed in the Netherlands. Worldwide only a dozen Siemens PET/MRI scanners are currently installed, mainly in Europe (Germany) and a few in the USA. 

PET-CT

The positron emission tomography-computed tomography scanner is used for the quantification of molecular processes in the body, while ensuring precise images.

SPECT-CT

This system combines advantages of nuclear imaging and CT in order to improve image quality and radiation sensitivity, while decreasing radiation dose for the patient.

3 Tesla MRI

A powerfull 3 Tesla MRI scanner complements the facilities at CMI. The strong magenetic field of Siemens 3T scanners increases image clarity and anatomic detail.
