Human-oriented product design
The equipment produced by Philips Medical Systems is noted for its ergonomic design, ease of use and patient convenience. The most important features include clearly arranged, user friendly control panels, patient comfort, and compact, space-saving design.
It was ten years ago that Philips introduced the first compact magnetic resonance tomographic system with a short magnetic tube, giving the company a leading position world-wide in this field. The continual improvement of technologies and applications has led to a rapid increase in the number of diagnostic possibilities - particularly in angiography, cardiology and neurology - in addition to conventional uses.
Low radiation dose
The conventional x-ray is by far the most frequently used method of diagnosis. Technological innovation has made it possible to achieve a significant reduction in the intensity of radiation emitted during an investigation, whilst at the same time offering outstanding image quality and resulting in reliable diagnoses.
(For example our development PULSARIS)
A digital future
The digital age has brought a number of advantages, and many new possibilities for medical diagnosis, too. Digital radiography allows the physician to make a more accurate diagnosis, and also offers greater economy, optimal image quality, reduced radiation dose, faster communication and time saving. Film-free radiology has now become a reality thanks to the digital flat plate detector from Philips. The detector converts x-rays into digital images which appear on the computer monitor immediately after exposure. The images can be processed at once, and can also be distributed and stored electronically. |
