The Brain Imaging Race Heats Up — Bay Imaging Lands Strategic Round to Scale Next-Gen Brain PET
27 july 2026
Bay Imaging Technology, a high-tech company specializing in brain metabolic imaging technologies, has recently completed a new round of RMB tens of millions financing. The funding will be used to accelerate the R&D and commercialization of high-performance dedicated brain PET systems, small animal PET platforms, and key molecular imaging technologies.
With the growing demand for precision diagnosis and neuroscience research, brain metabolic imaging has become an essential technology platform for understanding neurological diseases and supporting innovative therapeutic development. Compared with traditional structural imaging, PET-based molecular imaging enables visualization of brain metabolism and functional changes at an early stage, providing critical support for disease detection, progression assessment, and treatment evaluation.
Founded by a team originating from the molecular imaging and nuclear medicine research group of Sun Yat-sen University, Bay Imaging Technology focuses on developing advanced brain PET systems and related imaging technologies. The company has established an integrated R&D platform covering PET detectors, core electronics, system integration, image reconstruction, and AI algorithms, aiming to provide high-performance molecular imaging solutions for neuroscience research and precision medicine.
The strategic investment represents a further step in building a comprehensive brain science ecosystem. They will collaborate on technology innovation, research applications, and commercialization to accelerate the development of next-generation brain imaging solutions.
