GE Healthcare Named Company of the Year

GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) was recently presented with the 2005 Company of the Year Award in the field of medical imaging for its contribution to the healthcare industry--not only in the United States and North America, but also worldwide, by Frost & Sullivan (Palo Alto, CA, USA), an international growth consultancy company.

GE Healthcare's range of ‘firsts' is impressive, particularly in the field of digital imaging, which has transformed the way radiology is practiced. Each year this award is presented to a company that has demonstrated excellence in all operations within its industry--business development, competitive strategy, and leadership. The award recognizes outstanding management, consistent growth, and positive social and economic impact on the local and national communities and customers.

"From developing the world's first full field flat-panel digital mammography system to the first fully digital flat-panel cardiac catheterization system, GE Healthcare has blazed a trail in the digitization of the medical imaging installed base,” remarked Frost & Sullivan industry research manager Antonio Garcia. "The company has also led the market in providing integrated, real-time image processing and enhancement functionality, such as dual energy subtraction and tomosynthesis, on its digital x-ray systems at a time when some other vendors were struggling to come to market with a successful digital capture system.”

"This award is a testament to our commitment to healthcare, which transcends any one medical specialty, as evidenced by our long-term vision for molecular and data-driven diagnosis and treatment,” said Joe Hogan, president and CEO of GE Healthcare.
