Carestream Health has acquired Quantum Medical Imaging, a privately-held manufacturer of high-quality digital and conventional x-ray systems used by hospitals, imaging centers and health clinics.

With the acquisition, Carestream Health strengthens its position in x-ray imaging by providing a broad portfolio of conventional and digital x-ray systems for healthcare providers worldwide.

The combination of the two companies will enable Carestream to better serve the imaging needs of community hospitals and clinics globally and Quantum’s dealers and customers will have access to Carestream Health’s medical imaging and healthcare IT solutions.

The companies said that Quantum Medical Imaging sells both digital radiography (DR) and conventional x-ray systems, computed radiography (CR) systems and x-ray system components.

Quantum Medical Imaging president and CEO Scott Matovich said that by joining forces with a global healthcare solutions provider of Carestream Health’s caliber, they are further advancing and accelerating growth trajectory and they will continue sharp focus on providing innovative imaging solutions for healthcare providers that place a premium on quality, value and success.
