Mahajan Imaging & Labs, a leader in advanced diagnostics, has unveiled North India’s first 128-Slice Digital PET-CT – Omni Legend by GE HealthCare, along with a modern state-of-the-art pathology lab. Located in Gurugram, this new facility marks a major leap forward in integrated cancer care and diagnostic excellence across Delhi NCR.
A New Era in Precision Oncology
As reported by bwhealthcareworld, this launch sets a new benchmark in precision diagnostics. The AI-powered 128-Slice Digital PET-CT scanner offers an exceptional spatial resolution of 1.4mm, making early cancer detection and accurate staging far more achievable. Powered by GE HealthCare’s latest digital BGO (dBGO) detector technology, the system ensures superior image quality, reduced radiation exposure by 60%, and faster scan times—delivering high-resolution images with remarkable clarity.
Patient-Centric Facility Design
Mahajan Imaging has designed the Gurugram facility with a strong focus on patient comfort and convenience. The space is aesthetically crafted with streamlined workflows and minimal wait times. Its friendly ambiance supports both emotional and clinical needs. These enhancements aim to reduce patient stress and improve the overall diagnostic experience.
Government Endorsement for Advanced Cancer Screening
At the inauguration, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, commended the initiative. Drawing on his dual background in medicine and public service, Dr. Singh emphasized the crucial role of early diagnosis in the fight against cancer.
“The introduction of advanced digital PET-CT technology in North India is more than a technical achievement—it is a beacon of hope for families affected by cancer,” said Dr. Singh.
“We must combine innovation with empathy to build a healthier and more equitable future.”
He also highlighted government efforts to combat cancer, including the establishment of 200 Day Care Cancer Centres and a full customs duty exemption on 36 critical diseases, including cancer.
Call for Public-Private Collaboration
Dr. Singh further called for mass screening programs and stronger public-private partnerships to address India’s cancer burden.
“We need a holistic, preventive approach driven by innovation and awareness,” he stated. “The private sector must work hand-in-hand with the government to make cancer screening affordable and accessible.”
Confronting India’s Cancer Burden
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and The Lancet, India recorded a mortality-to-incidence ratio of 64.47% in 2022, meaning two out of every three cancer patients succumbed to the disease. Over 70% of cancer cases are diagnosed at advanced stages due to limited awareness and lack of screening infrastructure. Clearly, expanding access to early diagnostic tools is essential to improving survival outcomes.
Leadership Perspectives from Mahajan Imaging
Dr. Harsh Mahajan, Founder and Chairman of Mahajan Imaging & Labs, expressed pride in the milestone:
“With the 128-Slice Digital PET-CT, AI-driven imaging, and integrated pathology, we are enabling early, accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning. Our mission is to raise the standard of oncology care through technology.”
Kabir Mahajan, COO, added:
“In the past year alone, we’ve introduced a 160 Slice Dual Energy CT, a new pathology lab, and now the AI-powered PET-CT in Gurugram. This facility delivers all diagnostic services under one roof, from basic tests like hemoglobin to advanced procedures like biopsies and digital PET-CT scans.”
He also noted the potential for collaborations with pharmaceutical companies, enabling the center to evaluate the efficacy of innovative treatments like CAR-T cell therapy.
Enhancing Safety and Efficiency Through AI
The Omni Legend PET-CT is equipped with AI-enhanced features like:
- Precision DL for detailed image reconstruction
- AI-based lesion detection
- Q.Clear algorithms for improved sensitivity
- Wider axial field of view for whole-body imaging
These features reduce scan times and improve patient safety—especially critical for children and elderly patients, who benefit from shorter procedures and lower radiation doses.
Towards Integrated Cancer Diagnostics
By merging advanced imaging with pathology and molecular diagnostics, Mahajan Imaging embraces a fully integrated approach to oncology. This ensures:
- Timely and multidisciplinary decision-making
- Access to specialized scans like PSMA PET-CT and Gallium DOTANOC PET-CT
- Remote access to reports for collaborative treatment planning
Conclusion: Bridging Innovation with Impact
The new Gurugram facility stands as a model for future-ready cancer diagnostics in India. Mahajan Imaging & Labs continues to redefine excellence in oncology. It combines next-generation technology, AI-powered workflows, and a strong focus on patient-centric care.
