“Elscint” (from the words “electronic” and “scientific” in English) was founded in 1969 by Dr. Avraham Suhami, who was a lecturer in nuclear physics at the Faculty of Physics at the Technion at the time. He was encouraged by Uzia Galil, the founder of Elron, to apply his scientific and technical knowledge for commercial use. Elscint became a subsidiary of Elron and engaged in the development, production and marketing of solutions for medical imaging, nuclear medicine, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and was a world leader in its field. In fact, Suhami was the first in Israel to develop CT devices. Elscint was the first Israeli company whose shares were listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. In 1984, the company’s shares were traded on the New York stock exchange. Despite this incredible success, the company experienced a severe financial crisis in the mid-1980s. The company rebounded in the 1990s, but at the end of that decade, it began to decline, sold various divisions to other companies, and was eventually dissolved. Despite the disappointing end, Elscint will forever be remembered as a pioneer in science and technology, as well as in commerce and business. It paved the way and inspired many scientists to break out of the laboratory.
