Digital mammography alliance goes through

Hologic and Agfa have finalized an agreement under which Hologic will manufacture a digital mammography system to be private-labeled and distributed by Agfa in certain international markets. The system, which Agfa will call Embrace, will be built around Hologic's flat-panel amorphous selenium technology but will include Agfa image processing and information technology. The Joint Development and OEM Purchase Agreement is an outgrowth of a Letter of Intent signed by the two companies in April 2002.
