Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced new AI-enabled innovations in MR imaging launching at the
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting
(November 23 – December 2, Chicago, USA). Philips’ new MR portfolio
of intelligent integrated solutions is designed to speed up MR
exams, streamline workflows, optimize diagnostic quality, and help
ensure the efficiency and sustainability of radiology
operations.
As MR imaging plays an ever-increasing role in precision
diagnosis, radiology departments face multiple challenges such as
workload demands due to the backlog of cases resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic, a growing population of clinically challenging
patients, and a worldwide shortage of skilled technicians. As a
result, there is a clear need for smart diagnostic systems,
optimized workflows, and integrated clinical solutions that reduce
time-to-diagnosis, improve patient throughput, reduce the need for
rescans, and enhance the patient and staff experience.
“At this year’s RSNA, we are focused on introducing scalable
high performance MR systems to the imaging enterprise, with
intelligent software built in to automate tasks to help relieve the
burden on radiology staff and departments,” said Arjen Radder,
General Manager of MR at Philips. “With AI-driven smart connected
systems, optimized workflows, and integrated clinical solutions,
our goal is to deliver high quality diagnostic images while also
improving radiology department productivity by relieving
radiologists of burdensome routine tasks so they have more time to
take care of their patients.”
Among several new AI-enhanced MR innovations being launched by
Philips at RSNA 2021 are Philips
SmartSpeed [3], designed to speed up image
acquisition and enhance image quality and diagnostic confidence for
every patient, and the company’s new MR Workspace
with AI assistance, which delivers an intuitive solution to
simplify the path from image acquisition to diagnosis to help
improve MR workflow and staff experience. Other introductions
include the company’s new MR 5300 and MR
7700 smart connected systems.
Sustainable and connected smart diagnostic
systems Philips’ new MR 5300 system being
introduced for the first time at RSNA 2021, has received 510(k)
clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). With
this introduction, the company’s latest BlueSeal fully-sealed
helium-free in operations MR scanner continues the advancement of a
full helium-free operating portfolio of Philips MR solutions.
Powered by AI, the MR 5300 simplifies and automates complex
clinical and operational tasks for outpatient clinical use and MR
departments to help increase access to affordable, quality
care.
“At RSNA, we continue our commitment to helium-free
sustainability in MR operations with new and enhanced technology to
provide fast, fully automated, and highly personalized exams for
every patient without compromising image quality, while also acting
responsibly towards the planet and society,” Radder added.
The MR 5300’s large (55cm) field-of-view provides extended
anatomical coverage, while its robust AI-powered scanning methods
and easily positioned ultra-lightweight dStream Breeze coils [5]
work together to generate exceptional image quality, especially
when imaging challenging anatomies such as the spine and abdomen.
By simplifying and automating many of the complex clinical and
operational tasks involved in capturing high-quality images, MR
5300 enhances the consistency and productivity of radiology
department output, helping to increase patient satisfaction scores
and referral rates. Its helium-free operations make it suitable for
use in outpatient clinics, as well as dedicated radiology
departments.
Fully automated optimized workflows engine drives
quality and efficiencyAlso debuting at RSNA 2021, Philips’
new MR Workspace with AI assistance is designed to
simplify the path from image acquisition to diagnosis and empower
technologists – regardless of their experience or patient
challenges – to drive productivity and predictability. MR
Workspace’s intuitive dashboard fully automates the planning and
execution of many routine scans and eliminates guesswork by
suggesting the most suitable Exam Card for each patient to ensure
consistency in radiology department operations.
“MR Workspace provides us with a faster turnover time in between
planned patients, allowing us to prepare the examination of the
next patient while the current patient is still being scanned,”
said Ronald Peeters, MR Physicist at University Hospital Leuven in
Belgium. “With MR Workspace, our radiology department has been able
to increase our scheduling efficiency and improve productivity
[5].”
Ultrafast and personalized integrated clinical
solutionsAnother major reveal at RSNA 2021 is
Philips’ new MR 7700 system [2]
integrated with multinuclear clinical capabilities to give clinical
researchers the confidence to explore new imaging pathways.
Researchers can also leverage the accuracy, power, and endurance of
the MR 7700’s XP gradients to help facilitate
demanding research programs to boost neuroscience excellence, and
leverage the built-in AI technology for very high-performance
clinical practice. The MR 7700’s gradient is designed to deliver
the highest level of performance, state-of-the-art diffusion
imaging, excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and motion
detection technology to support outstanding imaging results.
The MR 7700 system’s high homogeneity and linearity bring
precision to both anatomical and functional imaging, supporting
confident decision making. The system aims to tackle existing, new,
and future clinical and research demands, while addressing the
upswing in patient volumes experienced by many of today’s radiology
departments. With this latest release, Philips has expanded to five
additional nuclei to advance clinical insight with more metabolic
and functional information across anatomies and making Multi Nuclei
imaging a part of the daily MR clinical workflow.
AI-powered technology driving high quality imaging for
every patientAt RSNA 2021, Philips is also launching its
new SmartSpeed [3] reconstruction platform,
designed to support the latest AI innovations. The platform, which
features an award winning AI algorithm (Adaptive-CS-Net) applied
directly at the source of the MR signal, is the next big advance on
Philips’ existing Compressed SENSE acceleration technology, further
enhancing the ability to reconstruct a full image from
under-sampled data while maintaining virtually equivalent image
quality. The projected speed advantages will help radiology
departments to significantly increase patient throughput and
enhance diagnostic confidence in a wider range of patients,
including patients who are in pain, who struggle to hold their
breath during the exam, or who have MR conditional implants. The
SmartSpeed platform is designed to support 97% of current clinical
protocols.
