GE Healthcare, alongside the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), have showcased the broad range of medical imaging technologies that they will supply for the care of competing athletes at London 2012. The equipment, housed at the main polyclinic based in the Athletes’ Village in the Olympic Park in Stratford, will provide the athletes and team officials staying in the Village during the Olympic Games with access to excellent healthcare services. Technologies featured include MRI, ultrasound, X-ray, ECG, IT and monitoring systems.
GE Healthcare is working closely with medical leaders at the London 2012 Games to advance the use of advanced medical imaging technologies to optimise and improve athletic performance. By making a wide range of medical technology available for use within the Olympic and Paralympic Village and all of the sporting events being held at the Olympic Park, clinicians will be able to diagnose potential injuries earlier or simply monitor treatment, to ensure that athletes are able to return to their sport as quickly as possible, helping them to stand the best chance of winning a medal.
