The World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) has finalized a deal to buy the American Society of Image Guided Surgery (ASIGS).
The ASIGS will operate in a joint association with the Optical Surgical Navigation Interest Group (OSN-IG) and maintain the ASIGS identity within the interest group, according to the WMIS.
The ASIGS is comprised primarily of surgeons dedicated to the clinical translations of novel agents, while the OSN has focused primarily on basic science and developing novel molecular imaging agents and new hardware.
Current ASIGS President Dr. Eben Rosenthal of Stanford University will maintain a leadership and chair position in the OSN-IG with a focus on the ASIGS.
