Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced the range of its Magnetic Resonance (MR) solutions to be showcased at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine's (ISMRM) 23rd Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Toronto, Canada. Visitors to Philips booth #301 will see the latest in innovations designed in collaboration with clinicians and partners, to increase clinical performance, enhance patient experience and provide economic value. The solutions highlight Philips' commitment to making MR more accessible to patients, while improving diagnostic confidence.
"MR brings the best of cutting edge technologies and clinical applications in a robust way to address real world clinical challenges and disease states for people around the globe in multiple care settings across the health continuum," said Vinay Parthan, VP Research and Development MRI, Philips. "MR is also a nascent imaging modality and has tremendous scope for research and exploration. Philips is excited to collaborate with our research partners as we co-innovate to enhance patient care through intuitive and quantitative MR."
With acquisition, reconstruction and post processing research tools like Paradise Pulse Programming environment and Recon 2.0, Philips provides research partners access to key algorithms within its MR systems, allowing them to develop their own applications on Philips platforms.
"Our group has had a longstanding collaboration with Philips. A significant contributor to the success of this collaboration has been the ability to access their MR software source code, which has allowed us to delve deep into the system and create new imaging techniques to help with stroke research." said Dr. Chun Yuan, Ph.D., Professor in Radiology and Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, U.S.A., and Professor and Director of Center for Biomedical Imaging Research, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. "Ultimately, we believe this will help us to create new clinical methods to diagnose and treat patients at risk of having stroke before it happens."
