First Installation of New Spectral Detector-Based CT System

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 17 May 2016
A leading Imaging equipment manufacturer has announced the first installation of its spectral Computed Tomography (CT) system at a leading university medical center in the Netherlands.

The system has been integrated into existing hospital system protocols and can provide multiple layers of retrospective, diagnostic data after only one scan, and a minimal radiation dose. More...
The system recently received the CE Mark (Conformité Européenne) for diagnostic use and is currently available for sale in 36 countries round the world.

Royal Philips (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) announced the installation of the IQon Spectral CT scanner at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC; Utrecht, Netherlands). The reduction in scanning time can help speed up diagnoses, and lower costs. This is the first IQon system that Philips has installed anywhere in the world.

Prof. Tim Leiner, from the Imaging Division, at UMC Utrecht, said, “Unlike traditional CT images, which can be limited in structural detail and require additional scans, Philips’ IQon Spectral CT allows our clinicians to identify the composition of materials in the body in one scan. In a patient-focused care environment, comprehensive solutions that enable ‘first-time right’ testing and diagnostics without compromises can be revolutionary in addressing many of our greatest challenges, including workflow and patient satisfaction.”
