German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG on April 30 announced changes in the organization of its Siemens Healthcare division that include creating separate divisions for advanced imaging modalities and less complex radiology systems.
Effective May 1, the Erlangen, Germany-based Healthcare division will still consist of three divisions: Imaging and Therapy Systems, Clinical Products and Diagnostics. Imaging and Therapy Systems will bring together the business with more advanced devices, including CT, MRI and PET systems, for diagnostic imaging and therapy. Therapy products mainly comprise angiography systems, linear accelerators, particle therapy systems, and minimally invasive procedures.
The Clinical Products division will include less complex products such as x-ray and ultrasound equipment that had been run jointly with the large-scale medical device business, as well as the components business. Diagnostics will continue to include the company’s laboratory diagnostics business, with products such as blood analyzers and reagents.
