'Founded in Seoul in 1985 by a team of research scientists from Korea's leading technology research institute, Medison rapidly established a reputation for innovation in digital imaging technology.
By 1994, the company had attained ISO 9001 certification for its ultrasound systems and had established a worldwide distribution network covering more than 80 countries'
In 1998 Medison established a strategic alliance with Philips (formerly ATL, USA). Samsung Electronics acquired Medison in December 2010 on its way to become a top tier medical equipment manufacturer. In March 2011 the company got renamed to Samsung Medison. Ultrasound Systems: •
In 1918, Philips started with their first medical X-ray tube. Philips Medical Systems now is a global leader in diagnostic imaging systems, healthcare information technology solutions, and patient monitoring and cardiac devices. Philips also provides customer services such as financing, consultancy and maintenance & repair.
Philips lacked in the field of ultrasound till 1998. By buying ATL (Bothell, Washington) in this year Philips establishing itself as an important player in ultrasound. In 2001 Philips also acquired Agilent (formerly Hewlett-Packard; Andover, Massachusetts), a market leader in the cardiology and vascular ultrasound systems (HP2000 to HP5500, now Sonos 2000 to Sonos 5500). Philips Medical System is the diagnostics business of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, one of the world's biggest electronics companies and Europe's largest. Philips is quoted on the NYSE (symbol: PHG), London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and other stock exchanges. On October 19, 2001, Philips Medical Systems completed a 3-year acquisition strategy through its purchase of Marconi Medical Systems. Marconi Medical Systems offered leading multislice CT, MRI, and Nuclear Gamma Camera systems to medical institutions around the world. As well as new 3.0T developments, Philips is also in collaboration with researchers at the University of Nottingham, with the intention of developing an ultrahigh field strength clinical 7.0T whole body MR system.

'SonoSite, Inc. is the worldwide market and technology leader in high performance, hand-carried ultrasound. Through its expertise in ASIC design, SonoSite is able to offer imaging performance typically found in ultrasound systems weighing more than 300 pounds in a system architecture that is approximately the size and weight of a laptop computer and provides a significant price to performance advantage compared to conventional systems. This breakthrough is transforming and expanding the worldwide diagnostic ultrasound market by serving existing clinical markets more efficiently and creating new point-of-care applications where ultrasound was either too cumbersome or too expensive to be used before. With over 15,000 systems sold since 1999, SonoSite products are known for exceptional performance, ease of use and durability.'
'SonoSite began as a division of ATL Ultrasound in 1997 focused on the development of all-digital, handheld ultrasound devices. In February 1995, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Administration (DARPA) had awarded to ATL a two-year matching grant to develop a highly portable ultrasound device for use on the battlefield or in natural or man-made disasters to diagnose victims of severe trauma. This program culminated with a prototype in October 1998. ATL spun off SonoSite as a public company on April 6, 1998.' In March 2012 Fujifilm Holdings completes the acquisition of SonoSite.
