Monaco becomes Siemens reference site

  • 22 September 2010

Siemens Healthcare has signed a contract with the Cardio Thoracic Centre of Monaco to develop innovative solutions for the treatment of patients suffering with cardiovascular diseases.

The partnership will see the Centre become Siemens’ first European Reference Centre for Cardiovascular Medicine, which will serve as a an international training and visitors site demonstrating optimised clinical workflows and multi-modality imaging.

The centre has worked with Siemens for more than 25 years to provide medical technologies for the diagnosis of patients from across the world.

Professor Vincent Dor, chief executive of Cardio-Thoracic Centre said: “To be nominated Siemens’ European Reference Centre is not only an honour for us, it also allows us to advance the findings of our years of effort, that is in the diagnosis and therapy for cardiovascular disease and move on to new, extraordinary paths.”

The initial projects between the company and the centre will focus on clinical systems that address individual disease patterns that include the entire workflow, with the findings being incorporated into Siemens’ future technological offerings.

Tom Miller, chief executive of the customer solutions division at Siemens Healthcare, said: “The outstanding ranking CCM holds in the field of cardiovascular diseases is further emphasized by naming CCM a “Siemens European Reference Centre Cardiovascular Medicine.”

“The effective diagnostic and therapeutic process using imaging technologies and incorporating them into efficient processes plays a central role. Siemens has been successfully supporting CCM for more than 25 years with the company’s systems and know-how.”
