On April 29th the Coalition for Imaging and Bioengineering Research (CIBR) held its 5th annual Medical Technology Showcase in the Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Building. The goal for the annual event is to highlight the impact imaging research has on patients, academic research institutions and industry through collaborative imaging technology displays.

In total, the event was attended by Members of Congress, Congressional staff, program staff from NIH, patient organizations, imaging society leadership and academic radiology research departments.

Philips Healthcare partnered with the University of Chicago Medicine and eHealth Initiative to participate in this annual showcase to demonstrate and educate the value of research and health information technology can improve care, reduce costs, and improve patient safety.
