Will I be a doctor? Will I be a teacher? Will I be a scientist? Adding years to life and life to years. Everyone wants to live a longer, healthier life. Our solutions in diagnostic imaging are helping transform the delivery of patient care. An early and precise diagnosis can lead to care that is not only suited for a specific problem, but also for a specific patient. Ultimately, our patient outcomes mean more kids will grow up into healthy doctors, teachers and scientists of tomorrow. www.siemens.com.au/medical Siemens. Innovation for generations.
