Philips unveiled several new artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled innovations at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting.
These include next-gen ultrasound systems, a mobile MRI system with helium-free operations, and AI-enabled cloud solutions to boost radiology efficiency and clinical confidence.
“Philips is teaming up with healthcare providers to optimize workflows so they can spend more time focusing on patients,” Bert van Meurs, Chief Business Leader of Precision Diagnosis and Image Guided Therapy at Philips, told the press. “The new innovations we’re unveiling here at RSNA provide a fully integrated AI-enabled diagnostic approach to help improve patient outcomes, optimize workflows and maximize lifetime value for our customers.”

Next-Gen Ultrasound
The new EPIQ Elite 10.0 and Philis Affiniti integrate new capabilities in a way the company said can be quickly embedded into routine care. The systems tout a single user interface, combined with shared transducers and automated tools to reduce complexity for a more efficient, enhanced user experience.Helium-Free, Mobile MRI
BlueSeal MR Mobile is marketed as the first and only 1.5T fully sealed magnet. Philips will showcase it in a mobile unit. Patient-centric MRI services can be delivered where and when needed with less helium than a non-sealed magnet. The company claims MRI scanners equipped with BlueSeal magnets have saved over 1.5 million liters of helium since 2018.Cloud-Based PACS with New Workflows
HealthSuite Imaging is the cloud-based, next generation of Philips Vue PACS. HealthSuite Imaging on Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers high-speed remote access for diagnostic reading, integrated reporting, and AI-enabled workflow orchestration—delivered securely via the cloud.The company also unveiled Philips AI Manager, an end-to-end AI enablement solution that integrates with an IT infrastructure, allowing radiologists to leverage over 100 AI applications for comprehensive assessment and clinical insights in radiology.
