"Boston Scientific is proud to work with Philips and Siemens to offer integrated imaging systems that support improvements in performance, workflow and ease of use," Joe Fitzgerald, head of Boston's Endovascular Unit, said in a statement. "Cath labs worldwide can now integrate the iLab Ultrasound Imaging System with the vast majority of interventional X-ray systems."
Boston's iLab is an intravascular ultrasound technology that enters the body through a catheter and allows physicians to gauge the condition of the heart and coronary vessels.
