Philips launches AI-enabled CT 5300 scanner
At this year’s ECR in Vienna, Philips introduced the Philips CT 5300 system equipped with advanced AI capabilities designed to be used for diagnosis, interventional procedures and screening. This flexible CT system in reases diagnostic confidence, streamlines workflow efficiency, and maximizes system up-time, helping to improve patient outcomes and department productivity.
Philips CT 5300 meets advanced diagnostic imaging requirements for cardiac care patient guidelines, as well as for other challenging areas, such as trauma care and interventional procedures.
The system also integrates virtual tools for real-time collaboration and clinical/technical support, which can be instrumental in overcoming challenges related to increased patient caseloads, complex cases, staff shortages, and budget constraints. By bringing clinical expertise and functionality previously associated with high-end scanners into a more affordable, versatile system, Philips says it is committed to making ad-
vanced medical technology more accessible to more patients.
With a focus on sustainability, the CT 5300 is designed to lower energy consumption.
The CT 5300 system is already installed at several European hospitals and has been well-received.
“The CT 5300 offers CT imaging from head to toe, combined with high-end functionality such as coronary angiography, delivering an extremely broad spectrum of applications, helping us to better manage increased volumes of patients,” said Dr Hilmar Kühl, Head of Radiology at St. Bernhard-Hospital Kamp-Lintfort, Germany. “With this latest system from Philips, we see an improvement in image quality with Precise Imaging, and for the first time, we can now visualize cardiac anatomy by using Precise Cardiac nearly artifact-free, which is very valuable to help improve cardiac care for our patients.”
Frans Venker, Business Leader of CT at Philips, commented: “We listened to radiologists about the issues they face every day and what they wanted out of a next-generation CT system. We then combined the latest imaging and AI technologies to meet their needs and created a system that delivers next-level diagnostic confidence, empowers workflows, and ensures lifetime value. We’ve leveraged AI in virtually every aspect of CT 5300, freeing both CT technicians and radiologists from tedious, time-consuming tasks so they can spend more time focused on their patients.”
Diagnostic confidence and workflow efficiency
The new system introduces Nanopanel Precise, the industry’s first detector built from the ground up specifically for AI-based reconstruction. This new detector leverages the full capabilities of Philips Precise Image [1] reconstruction software to deliver highquality images at much lower radiation dose. At 80% lower dose, Precise Image achieves up to 85% lower noise and 60% better low-contrast detectability than con-
ventional image reconstruction. Combined with Precise Cardiac motion compensation, Precise Image makes CT 5300 particularly suitable for high-quality, motion-free, cardiac imaging in patients with high heart rates or heart-rate variability.
Where additional expertise or technical support is required during an exam, the new system also features virtual tools like Philips CT Collaboration Live to facilitate remote collaboration, education, and training. More time spent with patients means a better patient experience, while greater productivity and ease of working enhance the operator experience to help mitigate staff shortages and overload.
