X-ray, informatics and image-guided therapy increase diagnostic
confidence and efficiency in precision diagnosis and treatment
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Chicago, USA – Royal
Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, will showcase how the company’s portfolio of
vendor-neutral radiology workflow solutions and enterprise-scalable
smart connected imaging systems is helping to increase diagnostic
confidence and efficiency during the Radiological Society of North
America (RSNA) annual meeting (November 28 – December 2, Chicago,
USA). The company’s new and enhanced solutions feature an
integrated approach across the imaging enterprise focused on
critical areas to help meet the challenges facing radiology
today.
Radiologists are often required to manage complex, disconnected
workflows which negatively impact patient care and outcomes, staff
experience, and cost. It is estimated that 20-50% of all
radiological exams are of low value [1], while COVID-19 continues
to compound the challenges facing radiologists, with 45% of
radiology technologists and imaging directors reporting moderate or
severe levels of job stress [2]. By taking a systems view of
imaging and radiology, Philips is helping to meet these
challenges with a portfolio of end-to-end radiology solutions,
allowing clinicians to confidently offer early and definitive
precision diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment while managing
complex operational challenges.
New smart connected imaging systems reinforce Philips’
leadership in sustainability In 2018, Philips became the first
health technology company to have its CO2 emission targets assessed
and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In the
most recent Future Health Index 2021 report commissioned by
Philips, 58% of healthcare leaders expect sustainability to be a
top priority in three years’ time. At RSNA 2021, Philips will
demonstrate its continued leadership in introducing innovative
technologies designed to make the world healthier and more
sustainable.
Philips Radiology Workflow solutions and smart connected
systems unveiled at RSNA Philips will reveal its new MR
5300, which recently received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. The
new system simplifies and automates complex clinical and
operational tasks with helium-free for life MR operations, driving
consistent quality and sustainability for outpatient imaging
centers and MR departments. MR 5300 brings advanced capabilities in
a workhorse system scalable to the enterprise. Additional new
AI-enhanced systems and solutions being introduced across MR
include the new MR 7700 system [3], designed to deliver
Philips’ highest quality diffusion imaging and advanced
neuroscience sequences; Philips SmartSpeed [4],
powered by the industry leading Compressed SENSE speed engine and
award-winning AI technology [5], delivering fast, high-quality
imaging for every patient; and MR Workspace with AI
assistance, the intuitive new radiology workflow solution
designed to empower technologists to enhance productivity and
predictability.
Philips will also spotlight its enterprise-scalable systems in
CT and ultrasound with the next generation of its CT 5100 –
Incisive system, featuring the launch of CT
Smart Workflow [6] and the latest release of Philips ultrasound
systems EPIQ Elite and Affiniti, to allow comprehensive
management and tracking of early-stage liver disease. In addition,
Philips will showcase its recently released award-winning Spectral
CT 7500, the latest intelligent system from Philips to
deliver high quality spectral images for every patient on every
scan, 100% of the time, to help improve disease
characterization and reduce rescans and follow-ups – all at the
same dose levels as conventional scans.
Expanding its leadership portfolio in image-guided therapy,
Philips will preview the world’s first spectral detector angio-CT
solution combining the company’s unique Spectral CT 7500 system and
its Image-Guided Therapy System – Azurion with FlexArm in a single
interventional suite solution. It aims to give interventionalists
immediate table-side access to these two key imaging modalities so
they can perform procedures requiring both CT and angio guidance in
one room.
“It’s very exciting to be back at RSNA, both in person and
through our robust virtual experience, presenting our newest
advanced technology focused on patient-centric, sustainable and
precise radiology solutions,” said Kees Wesdorp, Chief Business
Leader of Precision Diagnosis at Philips. “Last year at RSNA 2020,
we launched our Radiology Workflow solutions that connect and
streamline radiology operations across the enterprise. This year,
we are pleased to showcase the momentum our customers are
experiencing with those solutions, and to build on that success
with our newest patient-centric, AI-enabled radiology systems and
solutions designed to enhance clinical confidence and staff
efficiency and strengthen our leadership position in
radiology.”
Year-over-year growth and momentum for Philips Radiology
Workflow solutionsPhilips’ vendor-neutral Radiology Workflow
solutions help reduce variability and staff workload, increase
productivity and enhance the patient experience. Over the past
year, Philips has seen rapid adoption and successful performance
for Radiology Operations Command Center, a critical component of
its Radiology Workflow solutions. The vendor-neutral,
multi-modality telepresence solution seamlessly connects imaging
experts at a command center with technologists at scan locations
across their organization, to centrally monitor every MR and CT
scanner within a network from a single location. These capabilities
are further extended to Philips ultrasound with Collaboration
Live. Earlier this year, Philips announced a partnership with
Alliance Medical to roll out a pilot implementation of Philips’
command center across multiple locations in the UK. With an
estimated shortage of 6,000 radiologists, radiographers, and
advanced practitioners throughout the UK, Philips is
supporting radiology departments to deal with the patient backlog
and growing demand – and a radiology workforce under severe
pressure – to help improve the quality and delivery of services in
both the short and long term.
Illuminating the path to precision care at RSNAPhilips
will demonstrate its ongoing leadership in patient management
and engagement with solutions that are fully integrated into
its suite of smart connected imaging systems. Featured solutions
include Philips Patient Navigation Manager and the new Philips
Pediatric Coaching solution, using gamification and ‘buddy system’
techniques to prepare children and their parents ahead of and
during their MRI procedure to significantly enhance the patient
experience.
Philips’ intuitive, AI-driven smart workflow solutions
are designed to empower radiology technologists at the point
of image acquisition for more confident, efficient,
patient-centered care. In addition to the new AI-enhanced
innovations across MR, CT, and image-guided therapy, AI-enabled
smart workflows debuting at RSNA also include Philips Radiology
Smart Assistant, designed to help radiographers improve chest X-ray
acquisition accuracy with constant quality analysis and
feedback.
Supporting radiologists with integrated, AI-driven enterprise
scalable platforms for smart reading and reporting, Philips
Clinical Workflow Management solution brings together worklist
management (Workflow Orchestrator), advanced visualization
(IntelliSpace Portal), clinical collaboration tools, and
Interactive Multimedia Reporting into one streamlined workspace. To
enable administrators with tools and data insights for
continuous performance improvement, Philips Enterprise
Performance Analytics – PerformanceBridge – operational informatics
platform is delivering results for health systems, reducing scan
times while increasing volume and streamlining operations.
