"As value-based care initiatives challenge healthcare
organizations to drive better outcomes, radiology departments are
specifically caught between ever-increasing imaging volume demands,
while also facing pressure to engage more deeply with both referring
physicians and patients," said Arjen Radder, Business Leader MR at
Philips. "Philips is responding to these challenges through the
development of solutions such as Ingenia Elition to improve image
quality and the patient and staff experience, as well as operational
efficiency."

Intelligent and patient-friendly MR platform

The Ingenia Elition MR solution delivers patient-centric imaging
from patient set-up to the final image. By uniting Philips' unique
dStream (https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/education-resources/t
echnologies/mri/dstream) digital broadband technology with Compressed
SENSE (https://www.philips.com.eg/healthcare/product/HCNMRF203A/compr
essed-sense-spine-mr-clinical-applications#galleryTab=CLI) [2], and
3D APT (https://www.philips.co.uk/healthcare/product/HCNMRF201/3daptm
rclinicalapplications#galleryTab=CLI) across its new digital MR
portfolio, radiologists have the tools necessary to help solve
challenging clinical situations, improve the patient experience and
set new directions for clinical research.

Unique patient sensing technology

New patient sensing technology and AI-driven SmartExam analytics
for automatic planning, scanning and processing of exams help improve
the entire MR workflow, from image acquisition to reading preference.
Ingenia Elition's VitalScreen offers operators fully guided patient
setup with a newly designed user interface for workflow optimization
and VitalEye brings a unique patient sensing approach, enabling
respiratory signal without any interaction from the operator.
VitalEye technology and algorithms process over two hundred body
locations in parallel to intelligently extract signs of breathing -
allowing routine exam set-up time to occur in less than a minute,
even for less experienced operators.[3]

Philips Ambient Experience and in-bore Connect solution (https://w
ww.usa.philips.com/healthcare/consulting/ambient-experience/in-boreco
nnect), offering an immersive audio-visual experience to calm
patients and guide them through MR exams, further improves the
patient experience. A study at Herlev Gentofte University Hospital in
Denmark showed that the Ambient Experience in-bore Connect solution
helped reduce the number of rescans by up to 70% [4], allowing
radiologists to handle more patients per day. The unique combination
of innovations that the new Ingenia Elition offers is improving the
entire workflow from image acquisition to reading preferences.

All-new Ingenia digital MR portfolio

The Ingenia Elition 3.0T is part of the all-new Ingenia digital MR
portfolio and complements the recently introduced Philips Ingenia
Prodiva 1.5T MR solution. Philips' new MR portfolio supports
radiology departments to enhance productivity, improving the patient
and staff experience, while delivering better value-based care
through improved patient outcomes at lower costs.

Philips will officially unveil Ingenia Elition and its newest MR
innovations, alongside its full suite of solutions for diagnosis and
treatment during the 2018 European Congress of Radiology at booth
#402 in X4 at the Austria Center in Vienna. For more information
