At the 2017 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), Philips unveiled its newest computed tomography (CT) solution, the Access CT. Access CT is specifically designed for healthcare organizations seeking to establish or enhance CT imaging capabilities at an accessible cost for a high return in value. The system provides consistent image quality across a diverse patient population and a wide range of exam types, enabling healthcare organizations to expand care capabilities to treat more patients.
Philips recently announced the global launch of Azurion, its next-generation image-guided therapy platform.
In the days before picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), collaboration between various hospital departments was extremely difficult, as clinicians could only consult with each other in person. Today, enterprise imaging allows providers to interact from wherever they are with all of the relevant clinical data stored in one place.
Featuring new and enhanced connected health offerings at the 2017 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference and exhibition (HIMSS17), Philips showcased a broad range of population health management, acute healthcare informatics and personal health solutions, fully integrated in a highly secure, cloud-based ecosystem.
Philips announced 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its ElastQ Imaging capability, further expanding the functionalities of its Epiq family of ultrasound systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the imagination and attention of doctors over the past couple years as several companies and large research hospitals work to perfect these systems for clinical use. The first concrete examples of how AI (also called deep learning, machine learning or artificial neural networks) will help clinicians are now being commercialized. These systems may offer a paradigm shift in how clinicians work in an effort to significantly boost workflow efficiency, while at the same time improving care and patient throughput.
Philips recently announced the introduction of IntelliSpace Enterprise Edition at the 2017 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting, Feb. 19-23 in Orlando, Fla.
