Resoundant Inc., announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with United Imaging Healthcare to begin offering advanced magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) on leading United Imaging MRI systems.
United Imaging’s mission encompasses a dedication to the latest innovations and ensuring their accessibility worldwide. The company’s unique “all in” model features the highest priority applications needed to meet day to day workflows. The inclusion of MRE as a core product will exemplify this standard, as it has become an essential clinical tool for non-invasively assessing liver fibrosis around the world.
“We are thrilled to partner with United Imaging to deliver MRE on their cutting-edge MR solutions,” said Kathy Anderson, JD, Chief Operating Officer of Resoundant. “This partnership will further our overarching mission: to radically advance patient care through exploration, development, and dissemination of high–impact applications of MR Elastography.”
Reflecting a dedication to breakthrough technologies, the two companies have also agreed to work towards introduction of the next generation of MR Elastography, called 3D-MRE, as a standard product for 1.5T and 3.0T systems.
“If we look at the adoption of MRE so far (www.resoundant.com/mre-connect), many countries in the Asian-Pacific region have done a tremendous job in providing access to MRE,” said Michael Kalutkiewicz, Vice President of Global Policy and Communications of Resoundant. “Our partnership with United Imaging will ensure even more patients have access to advanced MRE.”
The two companies are currently in final stages of testing and implementation with a goal for delivery in 2021.
