GE and Fujitsu in Alliance to Integrate Medical Imaging

However, most of these systems have not been integrated, due partly to different interfaces of the equipment.

The new alliance will allow Fujitsu, an important provider of Internet-focused information technology (IT) solutions, and GE, an important manufacturer of diagnostic imaging systems and PACS, to provide integrated clinical imaging solutions that address this problem and meet customers' needs. Such solutions are intended to save time, improve treatment, and help to reduce costs. One solution to be offered by both companies integrates PACS with related information management systems within a hospital, such as HIS and RIS. Both companies will continue to examine the possibility of a broader partnership in other solutions in the area of medical information systems.
