Pioneers in X-ray Technology Since 1896 As a company, our
history dates back to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen 130
years ago in Würzburg. His discovery on No-vember 8th, 1895 heralded a new era
in medi-cine that provided previously unknown insights into the human body. A
short time later, Sie-mens & Halske and Reiniger, Gebbert & Schall
(RGS) the two predecessor companies of Sie-mens Healthineers concentrated on
the indus-trial production of X-ray tubes and apparatus, thus making a decisive
contribution to the fur-ther development of the technology.
Today as a company, Siemens
Healthineers is a leading medical technology company principally active in the
areas of imaging, diagnostics, cancer care and minimally invasive therapies,
augmented by digital technology and artificial intelligence, committed to
improving access to healthcare for underserved communities world-wide and is
striving to overcome the most threatening diseases.
As a leading medical technology
company, Sie-mens Healthineers is continuously developing its product and
service portfolio, with Al-sup-ported applications and digital offerings that
play an increasingly important role in the next generation of medical
technology.
