The University of Rochester Medical Center has entered a seven-year agreement with GE HealthCare to support new and upgraded diagnostic imaging technologies, expand precision medicine capabilities, and standardize patient monitoring across the UR Medicine health system.
The collaboration, referred to as a Care Alliance, formalizes and builds on the long-standing relationship between the Rochester, New York-based academic medical center and the Chicago-based imaging and monitoring manufacturer.
Under the agreement, URMC will enhance its Imaging Sciences department through technology upgrades and infrastructure improvements. This includes the installation of GE HealthCare’s AI-powered MR systems, Aurora SPECT/CT scanners, and LOGIQ E10 ultrasound units. Several existing MR systems will also receive in-place software and hardware upgrades, reducing system downtime and limiting the need for new construction.

The Imaging Sciences initiative also features support for theranostics and radiopharmaceutical development, with plans underway for an on-site cyclotron. In-house production of short-lived diagnostic tracers is intended to expand URMC’s molecular imaging program, particularly for oncology applications.
“The Care Alliance with GE HealthCare brings advanced imaging and monitoring systems across the Finger Lakes region,” said Dr. Jennifer Harvey, chair of imaging sciences at URMC. “We are improving access and efficiency to ensure our patients receive the best care close to home.”
In addition to imaging investments, URMC will standardize patient monitoring equipment across all facilities. This includes deployment of GE HealthCare’s Carescape ONE monitors and Canvas platform, which are designed to streamline data integration and reduce alarm fatigue.
“Our goal is to create a standardized monitoring platform that includes the right monitor for right patient at the right time,” said Dr. Michael Scott, chair of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine at URMC.
The system-wide approach is expected to improve clinical workflows, reduce administrative burden, and maintain technology compatibility over time.
