When you’re truly in control, new opportunities can
emerge. In control means a multitude of ways to facilitate
patient-centered imaging. It means that although every
day may be different, you’re confident the results can be
consistent. It’s having the knowledge to define what you
need in terms of image characteristics, and allows you to
adjust the settings automatically. It’s being able to store
protocols on an Exam Card to share with ease among
colleagues.
This is the new Philips iPatient, an advanced platform that
puts you in control of enhancing your CT system today,
while getting you ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
