Philips introduces the new Spectral Computed Tomography 7500
system, providing spectral information for every patient and every
scan
May 19, 2021
- Intelligent system provides spectral data for all patients,
including cardiac, pediatric, and bariatric
- Fast, always on, low-dose path to precision diagnosis delivers
rich spectral results in a single scan, with no special
protocols
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced its newest solution for precision diagnosis with the
global introduction of its spectral detector-based Spectral
Computed Tomography (CT) 7500. This latest intelligent system
delivers high quality spectral images for every patient on every
scan 100% of the time to help improve disease characterization, and
reduce rescans and follow-ups, all at the same dose levels as
conventional scans. The time-saving spectral workflow is fully
integrated, enabling the technologist to get the patient on and off
the table quickly – spectral chest scans and head scans take less
than one second, and a full upper body spectral scan can be
completed in less than two seconds – while still delivering high
quality imaging that allows the physician to rapidly deliver a
confident diagnosis and effective treatment plan for each
patient.
Human and financial cost of misdiagnosisMissed
and delayed diagnoses contribute to roughly 10% of patient deaths
annually [1], while an estimated 10-20% of all medical diagnoses
are inaccurate [2]. The financial costs resulting from unnecessary,
suboptimal and repeat imaging costs as much as $12 Billion USD
annually [3]. The new Spectral CT 7500 was designed for
first-time-right diagnosis and has demonstrated a 34% reduction in
time to diagnosis, a 25% reduction in repeat scans and a 30%
reduction in follow-up scans [4].
“With such great human and financial costs due to misdiagnosis,
Spectral CT 7500 sets a new standard of care where image quality,
dose and workflow come together to deliver valuable clinical
insights. This latest intelligent system helps to bring clarity to
defining moments in healthcare by delivering on certainty,
simplicity and reliability in every clinical area from cardiac
care, to emergency radiology, diagnostic oncology, intervention and
radiation oncology,” said Kees Wesdorp, Chief Business Leader of
Precision Diagnosis at Philips. “Our detector-based spectral
technology ensures spectral data is always available and is
seamlessly integrated into current workflows, meaning scans are
fast, and clinicians are able to send patients the right treatment
pathway with a more confident diagnosis.”
Spectral CT has demonstrated a higher sensitivity in detecting
malignant findings and has improved readings of incidental findings
[5] [6]. With Philips spectral detector CT, photons add more value
by helping salvage sub-optimal injection scans without the need to
re-scan the patients, shortening the time to diagnosis.
“We rely on CT scans to provide us valuable insights. But
conventional CT scanners are limited and can only show us where
things are located – like lesions, cysts, bleeds, fractures and
more. Philips spectral detector-based systems help to characterize
what the finding is, not just where it is, providing us greater
confidence in diagnoses,” said Dr. Finn Rasmussen, Associate
Professor, Consultant Radiologist, MD, DMSc at Aarhus University.
“We have seen significant reductions in rescans and follow-ups by
adopting spectral into our workflow for faster and more accurate
diagnosis [7].”
Expanded patient populations and optimized
workflowsSpectral CT 7500 expands on Philips proven
spectral-detector benefits to now include additional patient
populations that were not previously served. The spectral insights
are available for all patients, from pediatric to bariatric, and
for any clinical indication, including challenging cardiac scans
with high and irregular heart rates, without compromising image
quality, dose or workflow. The spectral workflow enables
radiologists to optimize reading with rich spectral results and
AI-based smart tools available in any reading environment with
Spectral Magic Glass on PACS.
