A History of Innovation

As an industry pioneer, Siemens Healthcare makes an astounding investment in research and development, over one billion Euros annually, to bring real-world solutions to healthcare providers.

Since 1896, when Siemens invented the first industrially manufactured X-ray tubes for medical diagnostics, we have engineered answers that have become instrumental to the health of patients and the organizations that care for them.
