- Rapid Imaging with MRC Tube: The Brilliance 64 CT, integrated with the Philips MRC tube, ensures reduced time intervals between sequences. This allows medical professionals to carry out an examination seamlessly, without any unnecessary delays.
- DoseWise Technology: A standout feature of the Philips Brilliance series, DoseWise technology, ensures the least possible radiation dosage while not compromising the image quality. It showcases Philips’ commitment to patient safety and quality imaging.
- Recommended by Experts: Many professionals in the imaging sector vouch for the Philips Brilliance CT 64-channel, especially when high resolution and advanced CT functionalities are paramount.
- User-Friendly & Efficient: One of the hallmarks of the Philips CT scanners is their user-centric design. Medical professionals often appreciate their easy-to-use interface, outstanding dose efficiency, and swift image reconstruction capabilities.
The advancement in CT scanning technology has revolutionized the realm of medical imaging. The innovative scanner, equipped with a staggering four times the number of detectors typically found in multi-detector CT scanners, merges unparalleled image precision with exceptional speed. Here's a breakdown of its key features and capabilities:
Superior Imaging:
- The scanner can effortlessly generate intricate images of any organ within mere seconds, offering vivid, three-dimensional visuals.
- It is especially adept at providing 3-D representations of blood vessels, giving a clear and comprehensive view.
Swift Scanning:
- The 40-slice scanner can capture images spanning 20 to 32 millimeters in one swift pass.
- In comparison, the densely packed 64-slice scanner can encompass roughly 40 millimeters in just 0.4 seconds.
- This efficiency allows the 64-slice scanner to obtain a high-resolution image of pivotal organs like the heart or brain in around five seconds.
- Furthermore, a full-body scan, which could be vital for detecting issues such as blood clots, can be completed in approximately 30 seconds.
Heart Imaging:
- This technology shines particularly when visualizing the heart. For the first time, clear non-invasive snapshots of the heart and its primary vessels can be achieved.
- The brilliance of these scans is that they can be timed perfectly to capture images only in the intervals between heartbeats. This ensures that both the heart and its vessels are visualized without any distortion or blurring due to motion.
Key Technological Features:
- MRC X-Ray Tube: This enhances the quality of the images.
- Philips DoseWise: A feature that ensures the optimal dose is delivered for the best image while ensuring patient safety.
- 40mm Coverage: Ensures a wider range of area is covered in each scan.
- 3D Cone Beam Reconstruction: Provides detailed three-dimensional images for better analysis.
- Spiral Groove Bearing: Enhances the scanner's efficiency.
- NanoPanel Tile Detectors: Further refines the image quality.
- Brilliance Workspace Workstation: A dedicated platform for viewing and analyzing the scanned images.
- RapidView Construction with Quad Core Processors: Ensures quick processing and image generation.
