BARRINGTON, IL – GE Healthcare executives say the recent acquisition of Dynamic Imaging will allow the company to expand its information technology products and services across all segments of healthcare and help redefine the market.

Dynamic Imaging, based in Allendale, N.J., provides Web-based image and information management with its IntegradWeb suite of products.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Dynamic Imaging has a strong track record of innovation and a family of top-rated products that are highly complementary to our existing offering,” said Don Woodlock, vice president and global general manager of imaging solutions at GE Healthcare.

The acquisition builds on GE Healthcare’s strategy to combine early diagnosis with information technology to enable a new “early health” model of care focused on earlier diagnosis, pre-symptomatic disease detection and disease prevention, he added.

Alex Jurovitsky, CEO of Dynamic Imaging, said the simplicity and power of Dynamic Imaging’s Web-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and integrated RIS/PACS, combined with GE’s broad suite of IT offerings would “redefine the market’s expectation for complete interpretive and review access, by any authorized user, of any imaging study, anytime, anywhere.”

“Information technology is revolutionizing healthcare throughout the world,” said Nogah Haramati, MD, chief of radiology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

“(The) announcement is a giant step forward for healthcare IT. It pairs best practices and best-of-breed systems in the evaluations of patients using cutting edge functionality, ergonomics, user interfaces and information technology expertise.

Patients and healthcare providers world-wide will be the primary beneficiaries.”
