GE Healthcare agreed to acquire medical imaging company Intelerad Medical Systems for $2.3 billion in cash, expanding GE’s footprint in cardiology and radiology software and cloud‑enabled imaging workflows. The deal is positioned to advance GE’s strategy to expand beyond inpatient hardware into outpatient and ambulatory solutions and to triple its cloud‑enabled product suite by 2028. GE expects the acquisition to close in the first half of 2026 and to strengthen its end‑to‑end imaging portfolio, including reading, routing and cloud archiving. The transaction underscores consolidation in imaging IT and the premium placed on software and cloud services that link diagnostics, telehealth, and enterprise data for hospitals and radiology groups.
