Siemens og National Semiconductor i medico-samarbejde

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, og National Semiconductor indgår vidtrækkende strategisk alliance med fokus på ultralydsteknologi (in english). 

Siemens Medical Solutions USA -  one of world's largest suppliers to the healthcare industry - and National Semiconductor has announced a wide-ranging strategic alliance to advance ultrasound technology, creating ultrasound imaging systems that produce enhanced image quality and advanced 3D/4D imaging capabilities, while consuming less power. 

The strategic alliance brings together Siemens’ leadership in ultrasound technology with National’s energy-efficient analog semiconductor capabilities. National will provide leading-edge power management, signal path and transducer solutions while working closely with Siemens.


Based on the companies’ collaboration, Siemens’ ultrasound systems will be able to provide next-generation imaging quality and ground-breaking new applications, while, at the same time, be more energy efficient. Working together, the end goal is to provide medical ultrasound systems that change the game in workflow efficiency, diagnostic reliability and ease of scanning.

- For many years, we have been pushing the envelope to advance ultrasound imaging to the next level. Large data volumes and the increased demand for portability require systems with an effective balance between power efficiency and performance. We view National Semiconductor as a strategic analog alliance to help us make this happen, says  Dr. Norbert Gaus, chief executive officer, Clinical Products Division of Siemens Healthcare.

- This is an ideal alliance, which effectively leverages both companies’ strengths. Already well known for its world-class healthcare solutions, Siemens’ next-generation ultrasound systems will be enhanced by our high-performance technology, chipsets and subsystem-level solutions, says Mike Polacek, senior vice president of Key Market Segments and Business Development for National Semiconductor.
