Philips to furnish California hospital?s women's imaging center

St. Rose Hospital in Hayward, Calif., is remarketing its breast center as a Women's Imaging Center, which will feature an iU22 ultrasound system made by Royal Philips Electronics.

St. Rose has invested $1.5 million in new imaging equipment, but did not have all of the equipment purchases in place until this week, the hospital said.

The hospital's new center will also have bone densitometry services, to test for osteoporosis and other bone health problems, and digital mammography.
