Aurora funds Chinese research program

Aurora Imaging Technology Inc. of North Andover said today it will be a corporate underwriter for a program that will bring Chinese research specialists to the United States to learn about breast imaging modalities.

Aurora manufactures breast MRI solutions.

"There is an urgent need for more advanced breast imaging technologies among women in Asia, as breast cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in women," Aurora chief executive and president Olivia Ho Cheng said in a statement.
