Business: GE Corporate
Business Segment: Global Research
About Us: At GE Global Research, we are looking for researchers like you who have an unrelenting passion for technology development.

Imaging Technologies is a multi-disciplinary and diverse organization with ~170 researchers innovating and developing technology in the areas of Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Positron Emission Tomography, Ultrasound, Digital X-ray, Electromagnetic and Superconductivity systems, and Visualization and Computer Vision. Since the invention of the modern medical x-ray tube in 1913 by GE scientist William Coolidge, we have been imagining and building new ways for clinicians to see inside the human body, and this history of imaging system breakthroughs has kept GE at the forefront of medical imaging. Today, our scientists are exploring new applications for imaging in both the security and industrial non-destructive testing spaces. At the same time, we are charting new territory in the emerging field of molecular imaging, where medical imaging meets genomics research. Our researchers are finding new ways to see beyond structures in the body and image cellular function. This work holds the potential to discover diagnostic methods for identifying diseases before traditional symptoms appear - a breakthrough that would shift the healthcare paradigm from “see and treat” to “predict and prevent”.
