2019 to complement latest radiotherapy imaging and treatment
planning innovations
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Milan, Italy –
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, today announced IntelliSpace Radiation
Oncology [1], an intelligent patient management solution
to manage complexity, improve efficiency and enable operational
excellence in radiotherapy departments. IntelliSpace Radiation
Oncology provides a harmonized way of working, integrating
applications and automating workflow to help reduce the amount of
time it takes from receiving a patient referral to the start of
their treatment. The solution is being unveiled at the European
Society for Radiation Oncology’s (ESTRO) 38th Annual Meeting in
Milan, Italy on Friday April 26, 2019.
Radiotherapy is an important and cost-effective part of cancer
treatment and control. More than half of all cancer types can be
treated with radiotherapy [2], often in combination with other
types of therapy such as surgery and chemotherapy. However,
radiotherapy is often perceived as a complex treatment option due
to the number of clinical specialists and advanced technologies
required to deliver effective care. IntelliSpace Radiation Oncology
is designed to manage this complexity by providing an integrated
platform that connects all the steps from the patient’s referral to
the start of their treatment.
“By integrating all of the steps in the radiotherapy
department’s workflow into one platform, IntelliSpace Radiation
Oncology is designed to improve communication and harmonize ways of
working across clinical teams, improving the consistency of care
they provide,” said Ardie Ermers, General Manager Radiation
Oncology, Philips. “Each step of the patient’s journey is captured,
providing a strong basis for automating workflows, enhancing
efficiency and operational excellence.”
IntelliSpace Radiation Oncology is flexible and can be
customized to the specific needs of a department and each
clinician. It is an open, vendor-agnostic platform designed to
provide comprehensive interoperability across the hospital IT
environment.
To support healthcare providers in capitalizing on the insights
and workflow improvement opportunities presented by the platform,
Philips is also launching Radiation Oncology Practice
Management [1]. This consultancy service will support
radiotherapy departments in identifying and acting on data-driven
insights to achieve operational excellence.
IntelliSpace Radiation Oncology is the latest addition to
Philips’ renewed suite of radiation oncology systems and software.
On show for the first time at ESTRO, the new portfolio includes
Pinnacle Evolution treatment planning software,
Big Bore RT, a dedicated oncology CT simulator,
and the Ingenia Elition 3.0T
MR-RT and Ambition 1.5T
MR-RT systems.
At the show Philips also announced that it plans to expand its
leading MR-only radiotherapy simulation portfolio with
MRCAT brain [3]. Based on a single, fast MR scan
and leveraging AI, Philips’ MRCAT brain will be designed to
automatically generate CT-like density information on the MR
console. Philips’ MR-only simulation technology, which also
includes MRCAT pelvis and prostate, enables clinicians to rely on a
single imaging modality by providing both MR’s superior soft-tissue
contrast for delineation and density information for dose
calculations.
Partnering for integrated imaging, planning and
treatmentPhilips’ strong partnerships across imaging,
planning and treatment support increased precision and clinical
confidence to help clinicians deliver the best possible care. In
January 2019, Philips announced a collaboration with imaging
solutions provider MIM Software Inc. (Cleveland, US), a company
that provides practical imaging, automation, and data analysis
solutions to radiation therapy clinics worldwide. Philips also has
an ongoing collaboration with Sun Nuclear to integrate its suite of
PlanIQ™ software into Pinnacle Evolution.
Philips’ collaboration with Elekta (Stockholm, Sweden), a leader
in precision radiation medicine has resulted in the introduction of
the Elekta Unity, the world's first high-field MR-linac (linear
accelerator). Philips also has a long-standing partnership with IBA
(Ion Beam Applications S.A, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium), a leading
provider of proton beam therapy systems.
