Why? Why?

Thanks to the developments in Medical Imaging, Diagnosis is earlier than ever.

Physicians have more information and insight. Care is less invasive and less painful for patients.

Access to tests and treatments is easier as imaging procedures are available in convenient settings, such as independent imaging centers.

In addition, patient outcomes— from fewer complications to saved lives—are dramatically improved.

Unfortunately, the healthcare sector is diverse and as a result, collaboration has been difficult collaboration has been difficult

The challenge The challenge is to build expertise in the development of integrated systems that address unmet clinical needs while providing a solid and consistent network of R&D + Innovation groups.
