We are a cancer centre at science hub Biopolis promises faster and clearer imaging scans, with lower radiation exposure. The Advanced Medicine Imaging (AMI) Centre aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, which is the leading cause of death in Singapore.

Our machines also produce higher-quality images, which can better detect and characterise lesions such as tumours. This allows for the early detection of even small tumours, resulting in treatment being administered more quickly with fewer invasive procedures.

This is the first time this technology - the Philips Vereos PET/CT scanners - is being brought into Asia-Pacific. Our centre is run by the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings (SAM) and technology company Royal Philips, in partnership with companies such as Varian Medical Systems and IBA Worldwide.

Our centre's capabilities would enable better prevention and early detection, which are key to the treatment of cancer.
