Building upon our more than 25-year history as a leader in
outpatient imaging, our partnership with GE HealthCare will
position us at the forefront of innovative care delivery and
product line development, enhancing the level of care for our
patients and health system partners.”

high-performing care in the outpatient imaging space with the
addition of AI-enabled digital capabilities from GE HealthCare,
including AIR Recon DL, AIR Touch Technology, Imaging Protocol
Manager, Smart Subscription and Digital tools with Imaging 360.
These innovative capabilities will help enable clinicians to
provide improved outcomes for patients and deliver personalized,
precise patient care, while improving radiology workflows and
helping ease workloads for care teams.
“GE HealthCare is excited to provide advanced technologies and
digital tools to enable clinicians to make faster, more informed
decisions through intelligent data and smart devices to help
improve patient outcomes,” said Jason Schneck, President, U.S.
