Carestream Operates as Independent Company

Carestream Health Inc, a provider of health and imaging IT solutions based in Ontario, Canada, recently began operating as an independent company serving customers in 150 countries.

The company originated as a business unit within Rochester, N.Y.-based Eastman Kodak Company, and brings over 1,000 patents from its former owners. According to Carestream, it offers a suite of traditional and digital solutions to medical, dental, molecular imaging systems and non-destructive testing customers.

Carestream Health will continue to use the Kodak brand with its products, says the company, which now owns all former Health Group sub-brands including Carestream, DirectView, Softdent, Industrex, X-Sight and PracticeWorks.
