RSNA: Philips highlights radiation dose management portfolio
Philips Healthcare showcased advancements and upgrades focused on managing radiation dose to expand clinical capabilities at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North American in Chicago earlier this month.The company also showed the iDose X-ray dose reduction solution and the DoseAware radiation dose tracking system.
“Philips is dedicated to supporting our customers with systems that drive value and technologies that help enable a reduction of radiation dose to patients and hospital staff,” said Gene Saragnese, CEO of imaging systems at Philips.
The newest addition to Philips’ DoseWise suite of radiation management tools, iDose focuses on lowering x -ray dose. The iDose reconstruction technique, RapidView IR console, enables fast reconstruction and lowers x-ray dose up to 80 percent while maintaining diagnostic image quality, the company said. Also, iDose was designed to provide the same look and feel of the original, higher-dose radiation images, requiring no additional training needed.
iDose is available for new and installed base Brilliance iCT and 64-channel scanners with expected delivery in the second half of 2010.
Philips also introduced DoseAware for interventional radiologists. The latest addition to Philips' DoseWise portfolio of solutions helps track x-ray exposure of patients and staff. DoseAware delivers visualization, display and tracking of clinical staff x-ray dose to help healthcare professionals performing potentially lengthy interventional procedures manage their radiation exposure.
