Berlex, Bracco, E-Z-EM, PETNET form alliance

Berlex, a U.S. subsidiary of Schering AG, Bracco Diagnostics Inc., E-Z-EM Inc. and PETNET Solutions, a subsidiary of CTI Molecular Imaging Inc., have formed the Imaging Choice Consortium.

Combining a wide array of products in one purchasing portfolio, the new alliance will unite the broad portfolios of the companies' marketed products in the areas of MRI, x-ray, CT, and radiopharmacy, including PET. Clinicians will benefit from a broadened ability to select products at their discretion, the group said.

Under the program agreement, each company will continue to determine independently the pricing, discounting and other terms it chooses to offer customers.
