Philips’ CT Focus at RSNA 2011 on iDose4 and Ingenuity Suite
Scott Smith, director of project management, CT, Philips Healthcare, describes low-dose CT as nearly a given in the marketplace now. What’s more important is maintaining the speed and quality of the image while using iterative reconstruction to keep the dose low.
Patient and hospital concern over CT dose has created a “perfect storm” for new products in CT, according to Gene Saragness, Philips’ EVP and CEO. Philips iDose4 has had the “fastest uptake I’ve seen in any product.” The Ingenuity CT with iDose4 was originally introduced at last year’s RSNA.
The company will put focus on its latest iDose technology at RSNA 2011.
Scott Smith, director of project management, CT, Philips Healthcare, describes low-dose CT as nearly a given in the marketplace now. What’s more important is maintaining the speed and quality of the image while using iterative reconstruction to keep the dose low.
iDose4 , he says, keeps the natural appearance of the object, despite its use of iterative reconstruction technology (see chest image to left), and keeps up the speed needed to make CT useful in trauma settings.
“The majority of reconstruction images happen in under 60 seconds,” Scott says.
Philips also will present its Ingenuity CT products as a suite, a sort of continuum of increasing sophistication. Scott describes it as “investment protection,” since customers can upgrade in-room.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
Study Shows Merits of CTA-Derived Quantitative Flow Ratio in Predicting MACE
December 11th 2024For patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), researchers found that those with a normal CTA-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) had a 22 percent higher MACE-free survival rate.
