SHANGHAI, Aug. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Imaging Healthcare (SSE: 688271), a global leader in advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment, has released its 2024 half-year report, showcasing robust financial performance. The company achieved revenue of 5.33 billion CNY for H1 2024, marking a stable increase of 1.18%. Net income attributable to shareholders reached 0.95 billion CNY, reflecting a year-over-year (YoY) growth of 1.33%.
A significant contributor to this growth was MR, which generated 1.69 billion CNY in H1 2024.

In the first half of 2024, United Imaging Healthcare maintained its commitment to innovation, with R&D investments totaling 1.02 billion CNY-a YoY increase of 11.11%. These investments have led to the introduction of new products, including the uMR Jupiter 5T, the industry's first whole-body clinical ultra-high-field magnetic resonance system. This groundbreaking technology, cleared by the FDA under the 510(k) process, has set a new benchmark by surpassing the performance of 3T uMR, which has been the standard in whole-body clinical use for the past two decades.
The company also celebrated this year's SNMMI Image of the Year, awarded for a study conducted using the uNeuroExplorer or NX, an ultra-high-performance brain PET scanner developed in collaboration with Yale University and the University of California, Davis.
