Fujifilm Medical Systems USA, Inc., recently announced the acquisition of cardiology PACS vendor Problem Solving Concepts, Inc. (ProSolv®), Indianapolis. The company will now be known as ProSolv CardioVascular, a Fujifilm Company, and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary. Combined with Fujifilm's worldwide PACS development headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, ProSolv's highly sophisticated tools will enable Fujifilm to extend its enterprise information management approach to include cardiology, and to provide a broader array of integrated technology solutions to a rapidly growing market.

"The need for more tightly integrated enterprise image and information systems, combined with the growing application of CT and MR into cardiac applications, necessitates that we continually evolve our products and the way we do business to most effectively provide solutions for our customers who are at the cutting edge of these changing markets," said Makoto Kawaguchi, president and chief executive officer of Fujifilm Medical Systems USA. "The acquisition of ProSolv enables Fujifilm to strengthen our existing product portfolio and our foundation for growth, and exemplifies Fujifilm Corporation's long term commitment in the healthcare arena."

ProSolv founder, president Tom Feigenbaum said, "With the growing needs of our customers, combined with recent industry consolidation, we saw this as an opportune time to align with one of the industry leaders in PACS. Fujifilm will provide the additional resources that are necessary to ensure that our current and future customers alike continue to receive a stream of innovative clinical features backed by high quality support." Feigenbaum will remain with ProSolv CardioVascular, a Fujifilm Company.
