GE Healthcare To Be The Sole Supplier Of Leading Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technology At The Beijing 2008 Olympics

Beijing, CHINA, - Today, GE Healthcare a division of General Electric (NYSE: GE), announced its role as the sole supplier of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Installed at the Olympic Village General Hospital, two of GE Healthcare’s advanced MRI technologies, the Signa HDe 1.5T will be accessible to be used on all international competing athletes during the Games.

These technologies within close proximity of all the sporting competitions will enable clinicians to diagnose potential injuries earlier or simply monitor treatment with a view to maximize the time of play for an athlete - in other words, ensure a quick return to play. Every day an athlete spends in rehab is a day lost in training, which is why diagnosing injuries earlier or monitoring the recovery in real time is crucial for elite performance.
