Ulm, 15. December 2021. ulrich medical’s contrast media injectors are to gain additional benefits with a joint solution for optimizing contrast media dose and radiation exposure in radiology.
The goal of the strategic alliance with Qaelum NV (BE) is to work together on a joint contrast media management solution to track contrast media usage and optimize protocols – not only between individual CT injectors, but also between departments and institutions. “Qaelum is a leading provider of software solutions for Advanced Dose and Contrast Management,” said Sven Erdmann, Head of Technology and Regulation at ulrich medical. “Together, we would like to provide our customers with an exciting total package in the future. Radiological departments will have the opportunity to manage, analyze and optimize their contrast media and patient doses. On the one hand, we want to support them in reducing costs, but on the other hand, we also want to protect patients from increased contrast media and radiation exposure.” The usage data of the contrast media injectors will be collected centrally, in accordance with regulatory requirements, and will also be available for statistical evaluations and reports. “We are pleased to enter into this strategic partnership with ulrich medical,” said Jürgen Jacobs, CEO and co-founder of Qaelum. “This partnership fits perfectly into the long-term strategy to improve patient safety, quality and efficiency in medical imaging departments.”
