SimonMed will introduce Philips’ state-of-the-art 3T MR services
to help improve patient care while increasing patient and staff
satisfaction at a lower cost
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG,
AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced
that SimonMed Imaging, one of the largest outpatient imaging
providers in the U.S., will bring the most advanced 3T MRI Philips
technology to its centers of excellence across the U.S. The
first MR systems, placed in California, Arizona, Illinois and
Colorado, will feature software and services to enhance diagnoses
ranging from brain injuries, liver and cardiac disease, to
orthopedic injuries. Philips and SimonMed are also collaborating to
further enhance the patient experience and speed in diagnostic
imaging.
Advanced MR technology enhances patient experience and
workflow efficiencyFaced with increased financial pressures and
demands due in large part to COVID-19, imaging providers are
dealing with a growing and aging co-morbid patient population who
need and deserve the most advanced care. Driving day-to-day
operations, while planning for long-term strategies, are necessary
to continue to deliver consistent, high-quality care. Together with
their customers, Philips takes a systems view approach to imaging
that delivers an end-to-end solution, helping provide consistently
high-quality imaging services to referring physicians so they can
deliver more definitive diagnoses, clear care pathways and more
predictable outcomes for patients.
Patients are at the heart of the Philips MR System Ingenia
Elition 3.0T, providing an experience to SimonMed Imaging that
enhances comfort while reducing the likelihood of rescans [1]. With
up to 80% acoustic noise reduction, voice guidance, and comfortable
table positioning, patients are made to feel at ease, resulting in
smoother, faster exams [2]. With revolutionary sensing technology,
Ingenia Elition delivers innovative patient comfort and enhanced
workflow capabilities for faster and more patient-friendly exams.
This new paradigm in productivity applies to all anatomies and
anatomical contrasts.
“This collaboration with Philips focuses on going beyond routine
3T MRI imaging to deploy the most advanced technology, often
only available to an academic center, in accessible and affordable
outpatient practice to greatly enhance diagnoses from early
post-traumatic brain injuries to the most subtle orthopedic
injuries,” said Dr. John Simon, CEO, SimonMed Imaging. “Patients
will literally have access to the entire spectrum of the
newest techniques and enhanced diagnoses. Together with
Philips, we continue our efforts to see beyond current
technology as the rate of change is tremendous, and bring
these powerful advancements to help benefit both providers and
patients.”
“Now more than ever, we continue our commitment to advanced
technology and efficient workflows to drive enhanced integration,
virtualization and digitalization to deliver precision diagnoses
required during these most challenging times. Providing our
customers with a clear path to precision diagnosis and treatment to
help achieve better outcomes at a lower cost of care is at the
center of all we do,” said Kees Wesdorp, Chief Business Leader,
Precision Diagnosis at Philips. “Our advanced MR technology,
combined with our advanced integrated radiology workflows, is the
latest innovation to further demonstrate our commitment in driving
technology to help our forward-thinking customers like SimonMed
advance care for their patients.”
Philips advanced MR systems at SimonMed ImagingPhilips MR
systems, including the Ingenia Elition, offer cutting-edge MR
imaging techniques, while setting new directions for clinical
research in 3.0T imaging based on gradient and RF designs. The

50% faster [3]. Having access to new diagnostic techniques, such as
mapping the white matter to evaluate brain trauma, supports
confident diagnosis even in the most challenging clinical
indications.
