Royal Philips Electronics displays its portfolio of products designed to manage dose radiation at the 95th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America ( RSNA 2009 ) in Chicago.

Dutch-based health and well-being company Royal Philips Electronics said that it will display its portfolio of products designed to manage dose radiation at this year's 95th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America ( RSNA 2009 ) in Chicago.

The company said that it has made several advancements and upgrades focused on redefining imaging, managing dose radiation and streamlining workflow to expand upon clinical capabilities.

Philips will also showcase the company's financing solutions for customers exploring radiology investments.

The new solutions include the iDose for Philips CT. The iDose is a new X-ray dose reduction technique and the newest addition to Philips' DoseWise suite of radiation management tools. It focuses on lowering X-ray dose while maintaining high image quality and fast reconstruction times.

Philips will also introduce DoseAware, the latest addition to its DoseWise portfolio of solutions to help track X-ray exposure of patients and staff.

Additionally, the combination of Philips' high-end digital vertical stand (or digital in-table detector) and the EasyDiagnost Eleva with ceiling suspension manages both digital radiography as well as fluoroscopy (DRF) applications, enabling users to perform gastro-intestinal work, as well as chest and skeletal exams, in just one room.

The Philips GEMINI TF PET / CT, which showcases the company's newest innovation in oncology care, streamlines the processes involved in staging, planning, therapy and follow-up. With Generation 3 Time-of-Flight technology, the GEMINI TF system is reportedly the company's fastest ever PET scanner, capturing data in less than 500 picoseconds, without compromising image quality or attention to dose radiation efficiency.

The company is also showcasing new clinical images from the BrightView XCT, which uses Astonish image reconstruction technology to provide 50% better spatial resolution in cardiac SPECT studies compared to SPECT studies using filtered back projection.

The new release of the Allura Xper FD20 combines a full range of advanced interventional tools and seamless multi-modality cath lab integration, Philips said. Following upgrade the Allura Xper system will have advanced tools to support image-guided procedures.
