Philips Unveils Next-Generation Rembra CT System at ECR

Emphasizing high-resolution imaging, AI-enabled workflows and efficiency with patient positioning, Philips has introduced the Rembra CT system at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

The Rembra CT platform features NanoPanel Precise XD, a high-density detector, which provides optimal image resolution as well as high dose-efficiency, according to Philips. In addition to offering 23 line pairs per cm of in-plane spatial resolution, the company said the NanoPanel Precise XD helps preserve image clarity with a 2D anti-scatter grid.

Philips pointed out that the Rembra CT system delivers image reconstruction speed of up to 106 images per second, which facilitates workflow efficiencies, particularly in urgent cases such as stroke and trauma.

“By combining our most advanced detector technology with AI-powered workflows and industry-leading speed, Rembra represents a significant step forward for high-acuity imaging, delivering speed, access and diagnostic confidence when it matters most,” added Dan Xu, the business leader for computed tomography at Philips.

For patient access and positioning, Philips noted that the Rembra CT platform offers an 85 cm bore, an 85 cm extended field of view (eFOV) and a patient table with a 46 cm gantry to tablespace.

“In interventional and high acuity settings, precise access and efficient positioning are essential,” said Olivier Rouvière, MD, PhD, Head of the Department of Urinary and Vascular Imaging at Hospices Civils de Lyon (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lyon). “Rembra’s 85 cm bore supports improved access as well as faster and safer positioning of long needles and instruments in complex procedures.”

Rembra CT is currently pending 510(k) clearance, according to Philips.
