Medical and scientific journal publisher Elsevier has acquired medical education firm Amirsys.
Amirsys focuses on visually oriented medical disciplines such as radiology, pathology, and anatomy, Elsevier said. It also offers products such as STATdx, RadPrimer, ImmunoQuery, AnatomyOne, along with Amirsys Imaging, Pathology, and Anatomy Reference Centers. Amirsys will be integrated with the Elsevier Clinical Solutions suite, which includes clinical workflow and decision support, clinical reference, and patient engagement, including ClinicalKey, CPM CarePoints, ExitCare, and InOrder by Elsevier.
Amirsys will continue to publish new radiology and pathology reference texts with Elsevier. Amirsys' new editions and titles, publishing group, and author teams will complement Elsevier's own portfolio of radiology and pathology titles, Elsevier said. The acquisition is effective immediately and financial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
