Philips Introduces High Field Open MRI for Radiation Oncology

October 31, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ — Royal Philips
Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today introduced the Philips
Panorama High Field Open (HFO) Oncology Configuration for radiation
therapy, a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging solution for dedicated
oncology use, at this year’s American Society for Therapeutic
Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) in San Diego, CA. This system
combines the premium soft tissue contrast of MR, which supports
tumor visualization, with a spacious patient aperture, which
enables patient positioning and offers a more comfortable
experience.  In addition, by enabling scans in the treatment
position, the Oncology Configuration offers healthcare
professionals relevant clinical insight, supports image fusion and
provides advanced imaging for radiation therapy planning and
follow-up.

“The Philips Panorama HFO Oncology Configuration is proof
positive of the continued increase in MR clinical applications and
utility,” said Gene Saragnese, general manager, Imaging Systems at
Philips Healthcare. “Philips has a long history of leadership in
oncology solutions and this new solution is the next step in
helping to optimize oncology care for patients and clinicians.”

For reproducing the treatment position of radiation therapy, the
Panorama HFO Oncology Configuration utilizes a flat table top,
similar to what is used on the radiation treatment system, and
employs an external laser positioning system for patient alignment
and marking.  A valuable Quality Assurance package for
evaluation of image distortion provides accuracy and integrity of
the procedure. Additionally, the main clinical applications are
covered with dedicated MR examination protocols that help to
streamline clinical workflow integration, and include prostate,
head and neck, brain, female pelvis and pediatric.
