- Expanded Philips Radiology Workflow Suite features new,
AI-enabled solutions to streamline workflows across the entire
imaging enterprise

experience
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced its participation in the European Congress of Radiology
(ECR) virtual event, March 3-7, 2021, where the company will
feature new and enhanced diagnostic and interventional solutions
that further expand its Radiology Workflow Suite, connecting data,
technology and people across the imaging enterprise. In furthering
its commitment to workflow optimization, Philips will present how
connected, smart systems and simpler, more efficient workflows can
help reduce variability and staff workload, increase productivity,
and enhance the patient & provider experience.
In 2020, the amount of health data surpassed 2,000 extabytes
[1], while the number of radiology exams with advanced modalities
increased by 43% [2]. Despite advances in technology, radiology
services continue to struggle to connect workflows to support
patients and staff with the information and tools they need to
provide the right care in the right sequence at the right time.
Moreover, repeat, low-value, and unnecessary imaging exams cost as
much as EUR 10 billion annually [3]. The situation has been further
exacerbated by COVID-19, where radiology departments are challenged
to combine exams and procedures for patients with cancer, heart
disease, and other conditions, while continuing to support critical
care for COVID patients.
Integrated, smart solutions for more confident
decision-makingThe effective capture, analysis and
reporting of data is at the core of modern diagnosis. At ECR 2021,
Philips will showcase integrated, end-to-end solutions designed to
provide more informed and confident decision-making. With the
challenges of COVID-19 adding to existing stress on imaging
departments, Philips has furthered its commitment to a “systems
view” of imaging, focused on the specific challenges that patients,
staff, clinicians, and administrators experience at each phase of
the imaging pathway. Innovative solutions address system-wide
challenges through the integration, digitization, and
virtualization of the radiology workflow.
“By combining the power of imaging with insights from integrated
diagnostics and AI, we can deliver diagnostic studies right the
first time and optimize workflows to support staff efficiency,
operational excellence, and continuous performance improvement,”
said Kees Wesdorp, Chief Business Leader, Precision Diagnosis, at
Philips. “At ECR, we will further demonstrate how Philips’
radiology workflow solutions are integrating complex data and
analytics capabilities to inform timely, contextual diagnostic
decision-making to guide caregivers and patients through more
precise, personalized care pathways for better patient outcomes.
This is the real promise of precision diagnosis.”
New solutions supporting Philips Radiology Workflow
Suite at ECRPhilips will debut new technologies supporting
its vendor-agnostic Radiology Workflow Suite at ECR, alongside its
robust portfolio of clinically optimized diagnostic and
interventional solutions. Philips Radiology Workflow Suite helps
drive clinical and operational efficiency across all phases of the
diagnostic enterprise, from scheduling and preparation, to image
acquisition and data interpretation, to reporting and care pathway
selection and treatment. New and enhanced solutions supporting
Philips Radiology Workflow Suite include:
- Philips Collaboration Live
for Tele-Ultrasound. Provides real-time remote
access to streamline communication and real-time support. Expanded
access allows for better collaboration to treat patients.
Clinicians have the flexibility to use text, voice call, screen
sharing, webcam feed and remote system control to deliver remote
consults to the exam room for real-time consults on complex
exams.
- Philips
Engage. Remote patient management
digital solution provides a clear overview of the patient’s
available health information. The portal offers insight into files
and treatment progress, allowing healthcare providers to do
screenings, measure results, make video calls, chat, and prepare
interventions for the patient.
- Philips Clinical Pathways for Lung and
Prostate Cancer. As cancer treatment becomes more complex
and expensive, integrated oncology, pathology and genomics
solutions enable end-to-end oncology care. From molecular
diagnostics to therapy options, Philips Clinical Pathways
streamline oncology care across the patient journey.
- Philips Radiology Operations Command Center. The industry’s
first vendor-agnostic, multi-modality radiology virtual imaging
command center to enable real-time, remote collaboration between
technologists, radiologists and imaging operations teams across
multiple sites via private, secure telepresence capabilities.
Philips takes a holistic approach to integrating AI across its
Precision Diagnosis portfolio, both for image processing and
interpretation and for image acquisition, where automated and
AI-enabled ‘smart workflows’ can increase efficiency and boost
clinical confidence for system operators. Philips’ commitment to
integrating data, AI, and analytics solutions supports its growing
ecosystem approach, benefitting customers and the patients they
serve. At ECR Philips is also showcasing innovations to enhance
productivity and clinical confidence in diagnostic
X-ray.
Spotlight on innovative Diagnostic Systems and
Interventional Solutions In addition to the new technology
introductions supporting the Radiology Workflow Suite during ECR,
Philips will showcase the latest innovations across its
comprehensive portfolio of diagnostic and interventional solution.
These include:
- Precise Suite with AI for the Philips Incisive
CT. The solution combines advances in AI reconstruction
techniques and camera-based workflow, for motion-free cardiac scans
and interventional procedures. Philips Incisive
enhances the CT experience for patients and staff while controlling
costs across the organization to help meet the most pressing
financial, clinical and operational goals.
- Philips enterprise imaging solutions,
including its Vendor-Neutral Image Viewer (Vue Motion), KLAS
Research’s 2021 Best in KLAS Universal Viewer
(Imaging) award winner, and Philips Advanced Visualization
Workspace, IntelliSpace Portal 12, honored with a EuroMinnie Award

- Philips’ next-generation Azurion image-guided therapy
platform marks an important step forward in
optimizing clinical and operational lab performance and expanding
the role of image-guided interventions in the treatment of
patients. An industry first, the advanced image-guided
therapy platform now integrates control of imaging, IVUS
(Intravascular Ultrasound), physiology, hemodynamic and informatics
applications, as well as intuitive control of the gantry, at the
tableside, allowing clinicians to control all compatible
applications from a single touchscreen and helping to decide,
guide, treat and confirm the right care in real time.
Philips virtual experience and symposia sessions at ECR
2021 From March 3 to March 7, visitors to the Philips 3D
