Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging and Philips sign MOU to strengthen imaging capabilities across Asia Pacific

The collaboration combines ASCI’s clinical leadership and regional network with Philips’ expertise in advanced imaging innovation, AI-enabled technologies and connected platforms to help healthcare systems strengthen cardiovascular imaging capabilities as patient demand, disease burden and workforce pressures continue to grow across the region.

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death globally, making timely and accurate diagnosis critical to improving patient outcomes. Through this three-year collaboration, Philips and ASCI will help healthcare professionals expand cardiovascular imaging expertise through education programs, hands-on clinical training and regional knowledge-sharing initiatives.

“Advancing cardiovascular imaging excellence requires strong collaboration between clinical communities and industry,” said Dr Jongmin John Lee, Professor of Radiology & Biomedical Engineering, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, South Korea and President of the Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging. “By partnering with Philips, we hope to expand learning opportunities, deepen clinical insights and strengthen connections among imaging specialists across Asia Pacific.”
