Siemens Launches Dedicated Ultrasound And Women's Health Team - New Offering To Provide A One-stop Approach To Breast Imaging Solutions

Siemens has announced the creation of an Ultrasound and Women's Health division to promote and support its products and services within the UK healthcare marketplace.

Mammography and ultrasound are playing an increasingly important role in the detection and diagnosis of breast disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK*, however, thanks to increased awareness and extending screening services, early detection and diagnosis has boosted survival rates.

The creation of the new dedicated team follows comprehensive customer research and is in response to the evolving breast care environment. "The introduction of new applications and techniques such as elastography, silicon transducers and tomosynthesis has called for detailed and specialist advice in the marketplace," said Andrew Pattison, Director of Diagnostic Ultrasound & Women's Health at Siemens
