 A revolutionary MRI system that images the entire human body in as little as 12 minutes. A CT scanner that produces the most detailed views of the cardiovascular system. Barcode technology that can help reduce medication errors. It's not only innovation and it's not only technology. It's only then of value if the technology leads to clinical application which enable our customer to shorten the time of examination to improve the quality of diagnosis, to do it faster, to do it less invasive. In a recent study released by Siemens Medical Solutions and the Centre for Health Transformation 97% of those surveyed said healthcare IT is important when it comes to improving patient care. And 63% said information technologies are more important than other factors in reducing the cost of care. If you do it in the right way you can reduce the cost by 20 to 30% and at the same time improve the quality. Newt Gingrich, founder of the Centre for Health Transformation is among those calling for an industry-wide adoption of an intelligent national healthcare IT infrastructure. I'm actually gratified that health leaders are coming to recognize that information technology in the long run is not a cost, it's a savings and that when you make an investment in information technology you're both saving lives and saving money. From doctors to patient advocates to equipment manufacturers the overriding sentiment at this year's RSNA conference is clear. While advanced imaging technologies are critical the complete prescription for improved patient care also includes a healthy dose of IT. I'm Kate Brooks.
