The Shimadzu Medical Systems USA corporate sponsorship agreement with MSU Texas provides for medical equipment and a 10-year service plan with a $2.4 million value. Through the agreement, Shimadzu Medical Systems USA provides multiple X-ray rooms as well as turnkey installation of the equipment, on-demand training on its use, and complete parts replacement for 10 years on the equipment.
In recognition of the sponsorship, the MSU Texas Board of Regents approved the naming of The Shimadzu School of Radiologic Sciences in honor of the company at its quarterly meeting in February 2019.
The partnership presents a unique opportunity for both institutions, as this is the first corporate and public educational partnership of its type in the radiological sciences.
