Making its debut in North America at RSNA is the fully AI-enabled CT 5300, featuring Precise Image AI-based reconstruction software to assist at every step of the CT workflow, while reducing radiation dose and improving image quality for complex exams like cardiac imaging. Philips will also spotlight Spectral CT 7500, providing spectral CT solutions across a wide range of clinical areas including cardiology, oncology, neurology, musculoskeletal, and pediatrics. With more than 24 million spectral exams performed to date, Spectral CT 7500 has been shown to deliver up to 97% diagnostic sensitivity compared to 55% with conventional CT; 96% certainty of cyst vs. lesion compared to 30% with conventional CT; and a 26% reduction in follow-up scans due to incomplete diagnosis.
Philips is elevating image quality in ultrasound with the newest releases of its EPIQ Elite and Affiniti systems featuring new workflow and quantification automation to make exams faster and reproducible to help increase clinical confidence. With more than 100 optimized presets across multiple clinical applications, Philips’ latest innovations in ultrasound help reduce exam times and variability. This is meant to increase efficiency with over 50% reduction in time for image optimization during abdominal and obstetrics exams. Also showcased will be the latest Azurion 7 platform to support image-guided interventional procedures with a 17% reduction in procedure time and a 12% reduction in patient preparation time, bringing the ability to treat one more patient per day.
Expanded strategic collaboration with AWS
At RSNA Philips will showcase its advanced Healthcare Informatics capabilities for data management, advanced visualization, automation, and AI to help reduce administrative burdens and empower clinicians with insights to deliver better care. In the run-up to the event, Philips expanded its strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer Philips’ integrated diagnostics portfolio in the cloud, including radiology, digital pathology, cardiology, and AI advanced visualization solutions. As part of the agreement, Philips aims to create robust and scalable generative AI applications that leverage state-of-the-art foundation models from Amazon Bedrock, and seamlessly integrate into clinical workflows.
Philips will also debut the latest 510(k) clearance of its Radiology Operations Command Center remote scanning and remote protocol management features enabling real-time collaboration between imaging experts and on-site technologists, virtually anywhere, to help streamline radiology operations and workflows to provide high-quality imaging to more patients at lower costs. Paired with the world’s first and only helium-free mobile MRI solution, Philips continues to expand quality care to large populations of traditionally underserved patients in a more accessible and sustainable way.
