Our People and Their Passion
“Something I witness in every hospital I visit, is the need to give back time. Time to care for the patient, share a joke, or offer comfort. This is what helped shape the design of Centargo.”
Leona
Country Head / Radiographer
Our People and Their Passion
“We are committed to ensuring our intended users can spend less time with our equipment and more time with the patient.”
Mikayla
Human Factors Engineer
Our People and Their Passion
“I’ve had my fair share of CT scans and am always anxious before the procedure. Having a few extra moments with the radiology staff helps my nerves. Centargo is made to provide these moments.”
Christopher
Global Marketing
Our People and Their Passion
“The goal of CT staff is to get a good image, not to spend a lot of time filling syringes and preparing the injector. So, we looked at ways to make this part of the suite and merge into the background.”
Michael
R&D Lead
Our People and Their Passion
“By looking closely at what radiologists do in their practice, we embarked on a journey. Centargo is the culmination of that journey: making the CT contrast scan easier, faster, and more precise.”
