Philips announces new technologies for more efficient and personalized patient care

Chicago, USA - During the 91st annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Philips announces new technologies for the realization of integrated solutions that cover all aspects of the care cycle – i.e. diagnosis, procedure planning and execution, and after care – thus providing more efficient and personalized patient care.


While being in different stages of development, the technologies include high-contrast, high-brightness LCDs for displaying sharper and brighter radiology images, new Magnetic Resonance (MR) acquisition and analytical techniques for the early assessment of diseases and for monitoring the effects of therapy in follow-up studies, highly automated image analysis and modeling software for fast and accurate diagnosis of heart disorders, and new image-guidance technologies that reduce the procedure times, improve accuracy, and increase safety of interventional procedures.
