Siemens Medical Solutions and the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver have formed a strategic alliance to improve and develop imaging and diagnostic technologies aimed at advancing personalized medicine.
The research will focus on genomics, proteomics, and integrated research and clinical care, according to the Malvern, PA-based vendor. The institution will incorporate Siemens technology to help diagnose respiratory, cardiac, and rheumatologic diseases.
Much of the patient care and planned collaborative research will take place at the center's new Institute for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, Siemens said. The institute is scheduled to open this spring and will house two Siemens CT systems and one PET/CT scanner. An integrated RIS/PACS network will also be installed.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
