p≥edict
Molecular diagnostics can help
physicians identify genes that
create predispositions toward specific
diseases such as heart disease
and begin monitoring years before
symptoms appear.
diagnose
Advanced diagnostic imaging,
combined with diagnostic pharmaceuticals,
can help identify a disease and its specific
location in the body.
t≥eat
Molecular imaging can help
physicians identify an individual
patient’s receptivity or resistance to
specific drugs, prescribe more
effective treatments and deliver
them more precisely.
t≥ack
Molecular knowledge will enable doctors
to see much more clearly and quickly
whether a patient is responding to therapy.
More important, with molecular
diagnostics, in effect they will be able
to monitor a heart attack 10 years
before it takes place.
molecula≥ medicine
Combining our increasing understanding of the human genome and the body’s chemistry with today’s sophisticated
diagnostic imaging can transform our healthcare paradigm from after-the-fact treatment to before-onset care. The pending
combination of Amersham plc with GE Healthcare will create a medical equipment, diagnostics, biopharmaceutical
and informatics company uniquely suited for this new era of medicine.
