Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Chicago,
USA – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX:
PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today launched three
new fit for purpose MR Smart Fit coils at #RSNA23. RF coils are an
essential part of every MRI scan. The new ultra-light weight coils
provide exceptional flexibility, significant reduction in patient
setup time and optimization with Philips’ SmartSpeed AI solution,
which allows for better image quality resolution and improved
diagnostic confidence for healthcare providers.
“Our new Smart Fit coils are an integral part of our
patient-centric workflows in MR, with a focus on raising
productivity and simplifying workflow,” said Ruud Zwerink, General
Manager Magnetic Resonance at Philips. “They combine with our
advanced AI-powered software that reduces scanning time and
dramatically cuts the number of steps needed to complete an exam.
These newly designed coils will help to speed up MR exam process,
improving both efficiency and the overall experience for
patients.”
Thin, flexible and lightweight, the Smart Fit
TorsoCardiac 1.5T coil is a great example of the new
coils’ versatile design. With the ability to bend more than 90
degrees in all directions and improved coverage [1], it is designed
to enable trained physicians to obtain cross-sectional images of
the internal structure of the head, body or extremities. The coil
provides exceptional flexibility and can be wrapped around
difficult anatomies, such as long bones, and can be used to image
patients suffering from unilateral hip pain, or those with a
plaster cast. To improve radiology productivity, the Smart
Fit 1.5T shoulder coil is designed to reduce setup time by
10% [2], with the patient prepared while sitting on the table.
Finally, the Smart Fit Knee 3.0T coil can be used
with a wide range of patients, with easy and fast positioning on
the table [3].
