Remote radiography and fluoroscopy systems traditionally have appealed more to Europeans than to practitioners in the U.S. But Philips is betting the time—and design of its new Juno DRF—are right to make a change in old habits. The Juno DRF remote-controlled flat-detector system, recently cleared by the FDA, offers enhancements that Philips Healthcare is promoting in its RSNA booth as the means to faster workflow and patient throughput and maximized return on investment.

Philips is adding to its portfolio a new line of CT scanners and a new line of PET/CTs based on dose-saving technologies. Ingenuity CT will displace Philips’ Brilliance line of CTs in configurations up to 128 slices; the Ingenuity TF PET/CT will displace the company’s Gemini platform of PET/CTs. Philips will not stop making these older models, but will feature them in its product portfolio as alternatives to the latest releases.

A radiation monitoring system that quantifies the radiation being absorbed in the fluoro suite promises to give individual staff the information they need to minimize their exposure to x-rays.

Philips’ new xMatrix brings real-time volumetric scanning to radiology as part of the company’s latest version of the iU22 ultrasound scanner. First built into Philips’ echocardiography systems five years ago, a souped-up version built into the company’s flagship iU22 on the RSNA exhibit floor quickly captures volumes in the abdomen that can be interrogated in 2D planes any time after the patient has left the exam room. Two planes can be viewed simultaneously using Live xPlane. Images drawn from the volume can then be sent to any PACS.

Increasing demand for imaging systems sparked a 7% jump in orders for healthcare equipment at Philips in the third quarter. Much of the gain came from customers in North America, where orders grew by 11% compared with 2% growth elsewhere in the world, leading to hopeful speculation that the extended lull in equipment purchases may finally be coming to a close.
