AMSTERDAM and CHICAGO, Nov. 27,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX:
PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced
agreements with 3D Systems and Stratasys, two global leaders in the
3D printing industry, to help progress patient care and improve the
clinician experience. Advanced 3D modeling provides radiologists
with additional views to help strengthen anatomical knowledge which
could enhance clinical impact in reviewing complex,
multi-disciplinary cases.
IntelliSpace Portal 10 is the first advanced visualization
platform to feature an embedded 3D modeling application for
creating and exporting 3D models intuitively into the clinical
workflow. A suite of clinician focused rendering and editing tools
from across IntelliSpace Portal 10 applications helps assure the
model reflects the true patient anatomy.
Through interfacing with IntelliSpace Portal 10, Philips
customers will now have a virtually seamless connection to 3D
Systems and Stratasys solutions to expedite 3D printing to create
models to help radiologists understand patient anatomy that is
difficult to visualize and deliver personalized medicine in the
most unique, complex cases. Users can create the model in
IntelliSpace Portal 10, save the data and easily transfer the data
to the 3D vendors' solutions without leaving the clinical
environment.
"Enhancing how we visualize anatomy and diseases, like cancerous
tumors, can profoundly affect the level of personalized care we can
deliver to patients," said Yair
Briman, Business Leader Healthcare Informatics at Philips.
"By improving 3D printing capabilities by working with 3D Systems
and Stratasys, we aim to empower providers to improve care for
complex cases and increase diagnostic confidence."
Partnering to improve care globally
3D Systems is a
leader of precision healthcare capabilities, including virtual
reality simulators, 3D printed anatomical models, virtual surgical
planning, patient-specific surgical guides, instrumentation and
implants. Their solutions help to speed care and treatment and
reduce costs. The collaboration with Philips will offer a
comprehensive clinical workflow for radiologists.
"Through our agreement with Philips, 3D Systems is furthering
its commitment to advancing clinical performance and optimizing
procedural outcomes through education and collaboration," said
Kevin McAlea, Executive Vice
President, Healthcare and Metals Business Units, 3D Systems. "We
are happy to play a role in providing a comprehensive solution that
will help clinicians and hospitals meet the unique challenges they
are facing in today's value-based care environment through the use
of 3D modeling tools."
Stratasys is a global leader in applied additive technology
solutions, fully committed to purposeful innovation across the
healthcare marketplace – from 3D printed surgical planning models
and medical device prototyping to advanced education and training.
Stratasys' unique PolyJet-based full-color, multi-material 3D
printing solutions drive unmatched realism – enabling medical
professionals to innovate and evolve like never before. Interfacing
with Philips, customers can now rapidly design, order, and produce
3D printed anatomical structures on-demand from Stratasys Direct
Manufacturing.
"Stratasys is committed to opening new doors for practitioners
to prepare for procedures by opening data communication from the
hospital-based imaging systems to the 3D printing products and
services used to provide patient-specific modeling. Our alignment
with a market leader like Philips takes this capability one step
further," said Scott Rader, GM of
Healthcare Solutions at Stratasys. "Philips customers can now add
the impact and value of 3D printing to their highly effective
IntelliSpace environments to accelerate efficiencies and advance
innovation."
Join Philips at RSNA 2017
As interest in 3D printing
continues to grow, its role in radiology is still being defined.
