Executive Summary
Agfa-Gevaert will know by early January 2002 whether it will be able to acquire its long-time technology partner, Mitra. That is the date by which the Mortsel, Belgium-based company expects to have heard whether its offer has gone through the premerger clearance process. The companies have operated together for the last 10 years, with observers claiming that Mitra has played an integral role in developing Agfa's Impax PACS system over that period (see Clinica No 977, p 13).
