Established in 1995, Virtual Imaging has more than 100 employees, including a national sales and service organization. The company serves large complex hospital organizations, imaging centers and private physician offices, and is the national distributor of Canon’s digital radiography systems.
“Canon and Virtual Imaging have had a long-standing relationship that has benefited both companies over the years,” said Joe Adachi, president and chief executive officer, Canon U.S.A. “This acquisition will position Canon well for future growth in the medical imaging and health care marketplace. Having Virtual Imaging join the Canon family will allow us to better offer a comprehensive line of cost-effective Canon certified medical imaging solutions and services that can be fully integrated into an organization’s workflow and improve patient throughput.”
