About IAMERS
IAMERS is a trade association formed 30 years ago. Facing business challenges independent sellers and servicers of used imaging equipment formed a unique world-wide association committed to patient safety, networking and advocacy.
IAMERS actively participates in regulatory and legislative advocacy in the U.S., E.U. and worldwide. IAMERS provides annual educational meetings, focusing on important issues affecting members’ businesses. IAMERS members regularly meet at annual networking receptions at both the RSNA and the ECR.
Today IAMERS continues its Educational and Networking activities with a special focus addressing regulatory and legislative developments.
IAMERS members provide a quality and cost-effective solution for healthcare centers seeking an affordable medical imaging device acquisition and maintenance programs. Our initiatives are impacting the marketplace and the imaging device community.
