Toshiba is buying Barco advanced visualization business

Posted by Adam Chee on November 22, 2008

Voxar 3D is changing hands (again), this time, it is being sold to Toshiba Medical Systems of Tokyo, Japan, via its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems Europe (TMVS), located in Edinburgh, Scotland (phew, that’s a mouthful).

This acquisition translates to a boost for Toshiba for their in-house critical core competencies —the development of 3D volume rendering and advanced visualization capabilities for all Toshiba modalities, possibility increasing Toshiba’s potential as a global medical imaging technology leader.

Look out mates, here comes Toshiba ! :)
