GE is trying, supplementing its own effort with this deal which essentially brings it the old Diasonics business, once one of the leaders in ultrasound. The Diasonics technology, purchased from Elbit, should get a boost from GE's strong reputation among customers, while GE will benefit from a strong, dedicated selling presence.
