[Abstract] GPS is the abbreviation of Global Positioning System. However, its another concept was generally accepted in the industry of medical equipment: G for the General Electric, P for the Philips and S for the Siemens. For a long time, these three big companies have monopolized the right to speak and cornered the market of high-end medical equipments, especially the MRI equipments. The National Key Research and Development Plan of 2016 published recently was expected to make changes. The "Multicenter Study on Clinical Application and Evaluation of MRI Equipments" directed by Professor Wang Jian from the Third Military Medical University, was on the list of "Research and Development of Digital Medical Equipment" and funded with 11.5 million RMB. The power of many manufacturers, education institutes, research institutes, hospitals and medical device test institutes will be integrated in the project to build a Global Positioning System for the researching, developing, marketing and application of China-made MRI equipments, and provide a guideline for the technical innovation, market expansion and products purchase.
