The computed tomography device reportedly offers enhanced post-processing of images as well as bolstered image reconstruction capabilities with an 80 percent reduction in radiation dosing.

Combining enhanced imaging with significant reductions in patient positioning time and radiation dosing, Philips unveiled the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled CT 5300 computed tomography (CT) system at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

Emphasizing precision software capabilities, the CT 5300 system includes CT Smart Workflow, which offers an array of AI-powered tools to drive workflow efficiencies, according to Philips.

The company says key features of the CT 5300 device include:

• Precise Position, which facilitates up to a 23 percent reduction in patient positioning time;

• Precise Image, which enables rapid image reconstruction with an 80 percent reduction in radiation dosing; and

• the Advanced Visualization Workspace, which combines expedited reporting with a scalable, AI-powered post-processing platform for images.
