GE Medical Systems recorded a 122% gain in digital x-ray system orders in its second quarter, led by strong momentum for the company's Senographe 2000D full-field digital mammography system and its Innova 2000 digital cardiac x-ray system, according to GE's quarterly results.
In other highlights, the Waukesha, WI-based vendor reported a 27% increase in PET orders during the period (end-June 30), and a 39% gain in CT orders. Orders for information technology systems climbed 35%, while regional growth, led by 60% growth in orders from China, also contributed to GE's quarterly success, according to the company. GE did not break out specific revenue or net income figures for GE Medical Systems.
