As part of our fall Alliance for Precision Health meeting, I joined\u00a0Dr. Richard J.

Interventional cardiologist Dr. Taishi Hirai shared a live patient demonstration of the CorPath\u00ae\u00a0GRX System\u00a0from Siemens Healthineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CorPath GRX enables precise measurements down to the sub-millimeter level and offers automated movements to aid in device manipulation. This system also reduces physician exposure to radiation from imaging equipment used during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siemens Healthineers is an industry leader for lifesaving innovations. Our ongoing collaboration makes groundbreaking resources accessible to Missourians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
