We advance sustainability in radiologyInnovating to preserve our planet’s resources

Sustainable radiology matters – for patients, the planet and all of us.
Our groundbreaking green medical imaging solutions help you to reach more patients and diagnose diseases earlier while minimizing the impact on our environment.

Human health and the health of our environment are closely linked. We innovate green radiology solutions designed to reduce energy consumption, e.g. reducing MRI power consumption, and preserve resources to help healthcare providers achieve their targets for sustainability in radiology. Together, we thereby help protect our precious planet.

Sustainability is a strategic imperative for healthcare and requires collective effort from all stakeholders
