In emergency and trauma medicine, the “golden hour” refers to the time during which medical/surgical intervention has the greatest likelihood of saving a life. The shorter the time to intervention following a severe injury, the greater the chance of survival. Computed tomography (CT) is integral to these patients’ assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Philips Ingenuity CT has advanced features to simplify scanning, reconstruction of images, and reporting of results quickly to help improve patient care.

With the increase in the aging population and changes in lifestyle behavior, the incidence of cancer is on the rise globally in economically developed and developing countries. Computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality used for tumor diagnosis and monitoring. Scanning related to diagnostic oncology (tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring) accounts for more than 50 percent of all CT procedure volume.
