  • Launched at ECR 2019, Philips’ #incisivect helps imaging departments and healthcare organizations achieve their financial, clinical and operational goals
  • With industry-first ‘Tube for Life’ guarantee, #philips will replace the Incisive CT’s X-ray tube at no additional cost throughout the entire life of the system 
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Vienna, Austria – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today unveiled Incisive CT to help imaging departments and healthcare organizations meet their most pressing financial, clinical and operational goals at the 2019 European Congress of Radiology. Driven by advances in image quality, radiation dose management and clinical applications, Computed Tomography (CT) has become one of the cornerstones of imaging and radiology departments. The newest addition to Philips’ diagnostic imaging portfolio, #incisivect integrates innovations in imaging, workflow, and lifecycle management, helping healthcare providers to improve the CT experience for patients and staff, enable smart clinical decision-making and increase efficiency. #incisivect will be introduced in major markets in Europe and Asia in the first half of 2019, and will subsequently be rolled out in further markets [1].”"Incisive CT combines a unique range of innovations that empower hospitals to deliver on the promise of value-based healthcare." - Karim Boussebaa, Business Leader, Computed Tomography and Advanced Molecular Imaging at Philips

 Lifecycle management

The #incisivect helps providers manage operational costs so more attention can be focused on optimizing patient care. With its industry-first ‘Tube for Life’ guarantee [2], #philips will replace the #incisivesxray tube – a key component of any #ctsystem – at no additional cost throughout the entire life of the system, potentially lowering operating expenses by an estimated $400,000 [3]. To minimize the cost of obsolescence, the system is available with the Philips Technology Maximizer program, which provides the latest available software and hardware updates as they are released.

Providing high image quality at a low dose with adaptive intelligence

Incisive CT features DoseWise Portal, a web-based dose monitoring solution that collects, measures, analyzes and reports patient and staff radiation exposure, assisting in control of quality of care, efficiency, and patient and staff safety. In addition, the #philips iDose4 Premium Package includes two leading technologies that can improve image quality – iDose4 and metal artifact reduction for large orthopedic implants (O-MAR). iDose4 improves image quality [4] through artifact prevention and increased spatial resolution at low dose. O-MAR reduces artifacts caused by large orthopedic implants. Together they produce high image quality with reduced artifacts. Incisive CT’s 70 kV scan mode allows for improved low-contrast detectability and confidence at low dose, which can help staff feel confident about managing dose without sacrificing image quality.

 Enhancing efficiency and workflow

Advances in workflow on the scanner and console, as well as in the reading room, help improve the patient’s experience through every step of their scan. Philips’ new OnPlan patient-side gantry controls let the technologist do more directly from the scanner, such as setup and pre-scan adjustments, minimizing time spent away from the patient. The #incisivect also supports a higher level of scanning consistency across the different members of the system’s operating team, with a recent study showing the system reduced scanning time by 19% [5].

The #incisivect includes proactive system monitoring that can predict and solve issues before they have an impact on day-to-day operations, with 31% of all issues being resolved without the need for on-site service, improving system uptime [6]. To further enhance operational performance, #incisivect is available with Philips PerformanceBridge, an integrated portfolio of services and solutions that enables continuous organizational performance improvements. #incisivect also seamlessly integrates with Philips IntelliSpace Portal to offer post-processing for complex cases, enabling radiologists to access advanced analysis tools all in one comprehensive system. #incisivect is CE marked and has received 510(k) Clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
