Medical equipment industry leader James "Jim" Beier passed away on Sunday, May 4. Most of us in the industry knew Jim through his work with Sumitomo. He was very knowledgeable in the cryogenics space and got his start as a mechanical engineer at Bruker. He then worked at GE for seven years. After that, he became the VP of Sumitomo Cryogenics of America, where he spent the last 13 years of his career. One time, Jim helped me out of a jam shipping an MR overseas.

Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders. Today I am joined by Benoit Scherrer, CEO of Quantivly, a company that is targeting efficiency in the imaging suite - but not in the way you're thinking. Rather than speed up exams, they are helping radiology departments service more patients by organizing fragmented operational data, and their software is already being used by hospitals including Boston Children’s and UCSF.

Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders. On Friday, I sat down with Dr. Ilya Gipp, oncology chief medical officer at GE HealthCare, for a fascinating conversation about theranostics. It's a timely topic, not only because theranostics is changing what's possible in cancer care, but because today is World Theranostics Day, celebrating the very first application of theranostics by Dr. Saul Hertz in 1941.
