This acquisition brings in-house critical core competencies – the development of 3D volume rendering and advanced visualization capabilities for all Toshiba modalities.
Toshiba is patterning this acquisition after the 2006 acquisition which resulted in the creation of Toshiba Medical Research Institute USA, (TMRU), a wholly-owned subsidiary. TMRU is said to be a significant R&D center of advanced imaging technologies and clinical applications in the US.
