Philips launches latest scanner for precision diagnosis

Philips has launched 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 to help improve disease characterisation, 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.
