Time Medical participated in the 110th RSNA Annual Meeting
/December 1st – 4th, Time Medical participated in the 110th Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting held in Chicago. As the largest and most influential event in the radiology industry worldwide, this year's meeting attracted over 40,000 radiologists and hospital administrators, as well as around 670 industry companies participating in the technology and product exhibition.
Time Medical sent a large marketing and sales team to the event, including over 10 sales representatives from the international, U.S., Indian, and South American market departments. The company showcased neonatal MRI, breast MRI, and permanent magnet MRI products at the exhibition. In view of the recent breakthrough in human brain imaging with the 11.7T ultra-high field MRI, Time Medical sets up a dedicated exhibition board to introduce the company's high-temperature superconducting (HTS) MRI technology and 16T biomedical MRI technology.
During the exhibition, Time Medical's sales team received customers and distributors from over 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Serbia, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and more. Over the four days of the exhibition, there are over 300 radiologists, hospital administrators, and distributors visited TM booth. TM signed over 20 sales MOUs for Pica systems (RSNA does not allow the signing of commercial sales contracts).
Time Medical promoted its first neonatal MRI system comprehensively at this exhibition. The sales team received heads of radiology departments and doctors from more than 20 pediatric hospitals including Penn Medical/Philadelphia Children, Toronto SickKids, BC Children's, Texas Children's Hospital, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Emory Healthcare, Mayo Clinic, The University of Kansas Medical Center, Sydney Children's Hospital, University of Iowa, Cincinnati Kids, Phoenix Children's Hospital, Holtz Pediatric Hospital, Cedars-Sinai, Children's National, and others. TM has received multiple sales MOUs.
During the exhibition, Professor Ma and the executive team of Time Medical met with Professor James Brink, Chairman of the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology (ISSSR), and the head of radiology department at Harvard Medical School's MGH/BWH Hospitals. Both agreed to deep collaborations in research and clinical work, including the 14T ultra-high field project, phosphorus imaging, neonatal and breast imaging. Professor Bruce Rosen, Director of the MGH MRI Center, also visited Time Medical's booth to meet with Prof. Ma and Dr. Gao. Both parties planned to jointly launch the world's first 14T human MRI, a significant neuroscience project.
During the conference, Time Medical's executive team held discussions with executives from several multinational medical equipment leaders, including the CEO of Siemens Healthineers’ global MRI division, Canon Medical's global CEO, and GE Healthcare's MRI division technical manager. This year marks the beginning of HTS MRI, and executives from these companies visited Time Medical's exhibition to discuss future developments in HTS magnets and systems, market cooperation, and more with the Time Medical team.
During the RSNA conference, Prof. Ma, along with executives from GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, and Canon Medical, were invited to participate in the steering committee meeting of the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology (ISSSR). Time Medical's executives also invited to the steering committee meeting of the US Coalition for Imaging and Bioengineering Research (CIBR), where a key topic was full coverage of breast cancer screening in remote areas. Currently, 90% of women in the U.S. can reach a local breast X-ray imaging center within a 30-minute drive, but residents in remote areas still lack this service. Prof. Ma proposed mobile breast MRI screening services to achieve full coverage during the discussion.
