NOVEMBER 27, 2018TUE SDAYExhibitors Drive InnovationThrough CollaborationUnited Imaging Healthcare Brings Innovation to Healthcare Acrossthe GlobeBy Michael HartThe medical imaging industry hasalways been driven by innovation and newtechnology that improves diagnostic accuracy, lowers medical costs and ultimatelydelivers better patient care.New developments don’t happen in avacuum. Every major advance in medicalimaging technology has resulted from thecombined efforts of research scientists,physicians and the medical imaging equipment industry. The results of these effortsare on display in the technical exhibit hallsat the RSNA annual meeting.One new exhibitor at this year’s meeting is United Imaging Healthcare (UIH),which will be displaying a broad portfolioof products, including MR, CT, MI andDR, while also describing its innovativework in AI research.Recognizing the importance of partnering in bringing new ideas into practice,UIH puts collaboration at the center of itsdesign process. The company strives toincrease its pace of bringing great technological breakthroughs to market andto more customers. It pushes toward thisaggressive goal by working in close partnership with research institutions and hospitals worldwide to uncover new solutionsfor the medical imaging community.“United Imaging aspires to unlockinnovation through open and flexiblethinking, advanced and diversified valuepropositions and breakthrough technologies,” said Dr. Xue Min, chairman andchief executive officer of UIH.Over the past two years, UIH has beenin collaboration with the EXPLORERconsortium, a research project aiming todesign, develop and construct a high sensitivity PET scanner for a wide range ofbiomedical research applications.In this partnership, UIH has been working with physicists, biomedical researchers and physicians at the University ofCalifornia, Davis to develop the world’sfirst PET/CT system designed to cover theentire human body and provide real-timedynamic imaging of all organs.Technical Exhibition HoursSouth Hall A and North Hall BSunday – Wednesday . . . 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Thursday . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.Technical Exhibition Booth KeySouth Hall ABooths 1000 – 5999North Hall BBooths 6000 – 8999Full Exhibitor ListingTo see complete company profiles and productinformation, visit RSNA2018.RSNA.org/Exhibitor.The information for these new products andservices was provided by the manufacturers.Inclusion in this publication should not be construed as a product endorsement by RSNA.The company is also excited aboutits expansion of the U.S. headquarters inHouston to integrate the U.S. research anddevelopment, production, training andmarketing functions and to better supportthe company’s growing team across theU.S. to serve local customers.United Imaging Healthcare offers a broad portfolio of medical imaging products.
