A Letter From The Editor


GE Whiz

It's not often that the OEMs dominate the headlines at DOTmed Online News, but this week they do. GE Healthcare's OEC unit has been re-certified by the FDA, a story that DOTmed News was the first to break last week. The company has survived a consent decree, an onerous government mandate that they satisfied to resume operations. (Anybody who has worked for an organization under consent decree knows the burden and uncertainty that accompanies such an order.)

GE Healthcare also got approval for a new 3T MR. They showcased their women's health wares at ACOG this week. And, in an unusual collaboration, GE is teaming with Merck to share technology on imaging of the lungs that may help to advance respiratory treatment development. The technology involves a molecular imaging agent used with MRI and now under investigation.

Not to be outdone, Siemens has important executive news with a new head of healthcare diagnostics. And Carestream Health celebrates its first year in business. So let's give credit where due this week to OEMs in the news.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

See you next week!
