The iCT Elite CT system provides low dose, low energy, and low noise with premium results. It is built on technologies that uphold patient-centric clinical quality, including low-contrast resolution and good image quality with reduced artifacts.
 
The system ices IMR, low-contrast resolution software, to help  simultaneously achieve 60–80 percent lower dose, 43–80 percent improved low-contrast detectability, and 70–83 percent lower noise. 
 
The Ingenuity Elite 256-slice CT scanner uses the NanoPanel Elite for low-dose, low-energy and low-noise imaging. It also uses iPatient that puts thye operator in control. Key benefits include high image quality with reduced artifacts and industry-leading low-contrast resolution. 
 
The system uses the iDose4 Premium Package to produce high image quality with reduced artifacts. iDose4 improves image quality through artifact prevention and increased spatial resolution at low dose. O-MAR reduces artifacts caused by large orthopedic implants. 
 
The Philips Ingenuity Core CT scanner offers low-dose, high-quality imaging and coverage, and the ability to personalize image quality patient by patient. In addition, it offers in-room upgradability so its capabilities can grow as your needs grow. Key benefits of the system include confidence and consistency, high image quality with reduced artifacts, and industry-leading low-contrast resolution. The system comes in both 64 and 128 slice configurations.
