GE Healthcare and the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) will conduct two research programs using the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor's ultrasound technology in preparation for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
The first program is a cardiac clinical research study with the U.S. men's rowing and weightlifting teams, while the second initiative will monitor the musculoskeletal health of athletes competing for the U.S. weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, and women's national soccer team. The two studies are continuations from research programs at the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games, GE said.
