Welcome: New CoRIPS partners for 2024
Bayer - Diamond Partner
Bayer has over 100 years of expertise in diagnostic imaging and is committed to developing innovative products, software and services to help radiology departments operate with a higher level of care.
The firm has developed technologically advanced injectors for CT, MR, cardiovascular imaging and nuclear medicine as well as MRI contrast media, all supported by a digital ecosystem of software and workflow solutions that manage patient, contrast, and scan data.
It offers remote support for rapid assistance and an end-to-end workflow to support achievement of consistent results, increased diagnostic confidence, and operational efficiency for the benefit of patient care.
Guerbet - Premier Partner
Guerbet offers imaging products, solutions and services for diagnostic and interventional imaging, to improve clinical decision-making throughout the patient journey.
Guerbet dedicates 9 per cent of its revenue to research and development, and is focused on the diagnosis of major diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diseases of the central nervous system. The company also focuses on interventional radiology, and has hundreds of patents owned and pending.
Guerbet has also recently announced its Elucirem (Gadopiclenol) contrast agent has been granted marketing authorisation. The product is used to improve MRI detection and visualisation of conditions affecting the blood-brain barrier, and abnormal vein size.
Elucirem is the first half-dose nonspecific gadolinium-based contrast agent, and is expected to allow European radiologists to perform MRI exams with half the conventional dose, thus reducing exposure to gadolinium, which can be toxic in high doses.
