Philips and Progressive Medical Imaging announce strategic alliance

Progressive Medical Imaging and Philips Medical Systems have entered into a strategic, multi-year agreement to develop the first outpatient imaging facility in the mid-Michigan area utilizing the most advanced Philips technology. The facility will provide patients and referring physicians with advanced diagnostic imaging for early and accurate detection of diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.

The facility is the only area outpatient facility with an advanced interventional catheterization lab, digital mammography, and a SPECT/CT system, which allows physicians to capture anatomical and molecular images together.
