Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death globally and has an enormous impact on public health and the healthcare delivery system. The goal of the partnership between the two companies is to develop solutions that will address this global challenge by improving the cost, access to and the quality of cardiac care.
“CT can be a viable, minimally-invasive imaging alternative for many cardiovascular procedures,” said Steve Gray, VP and General Manager for GE Healthcare Global CT and Advantage Workstation. “We chose Arineta as a partner because we believe their cardiovascular imaging technology complements the GE Healthcare market-leading position in CT imaging.”
