We are seeing a semantic shift in medicine, one that is redefining personalized medicine from pie in the sky to piece of cake, undoable to doable. This redefinition uses tools within our grasp rather than tomorrow’s genomic machinations to individualize the assessment of disease risk, find its occurrence and refine treatment.

Image and record sharing is often cumbersome and expensive and still does not reach all caregivers – despite large investments in EMR, PACS, VNA and HIE. Furthermore, communication back to referring physicians to update them on their patients’ status is manual if completed at all. The healthcare continuum is still disconnected.See how a new and unique single Image Workflow Solution supports:Getting images and records before treatmentInternal sharing during treatmentExternal sharing after treatment Existing investments in EMR, HIE and PACS are leveraged as part of a unified solution to streamline continuity of care, lower healthcare costs, improve patient and referring physician satisfaction and achieve meaningful use.

When every second counts in clinical situations such as those encountered in the emergency room and trauma centers, fast high-resolution CT scanning at low radiation dose helps radiologists render quick, confident diagnoses while keeping in mind the patient's needs. Delivering speed and performance, Philips iDose4 generates results in seconds rather than minutes, with a majority of reference protocols reconstructed in 60 seconds or less. Moreover, the Metal Artifact Reduction for large Orthopedic Implants (O-MAR) reconstruction technology reduces artifacts from metal objects, thus reducing the potential loss of critical anatomical information.Philips has taken CT scanning to a whole new level by developing medical imaging technologies that combine fast reconstruction, high image quality and low radiation dose. This advancement was brought about by Philips collaborating with Intel to enhance its imaging software to take advantage of state-of-the-art, massively-parallel computing platforms based on Intel Xeon processors.This paper details the high performance derived from Philips reconstruction technologies: Philips iDose4 and O-MAR. Some of the software optimization techniques used by Philips engineers are also described. As a next step in transforming care, Philips has launched the next innovation, called IMR. IMR is a model-based iterative reconstruction, which will run on even more powerful Intel processors and pave the way for further advances in CT imaging.
