Toshiba America MRI, a San Francisco subsidiary of Tustin-based Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc., said this week it completed the sale of 24 mobile magnetic resonance imaging systems to DVI Finanical Services Inc. in Newport Beach for about $35 million.
David Higgins, president of DVI Financial, said the company will lease the high-tech equipment, which makes clearer pictures of the body than the traditional X-ray, to hospitals and mobile medical service providers throughout the country.
DVI Financial leases a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. The publicly held firm’s largest shareholder is the Pritzker family of Chicago, which is also a major investor in American Medical International, Higgins said.
