Spectral CT 7500

The fast insights of detector-based spectral CT can help change the patient care pathway. Assess the coronaries and myocardium in a single exam. Spectral CCTA results can mean that appropriate patients may avoid an invasive and expensive procedure in the cath lab. Spectral results support enhanced lesion detectability and tumor assessment in oncology, fast neuro assessments to speed time to treatment, and treatment with minimal delay for trauma patients. Spectral-detector CT offers a 26% reduction in follow-up scans due to incomplete diagnosis[1] and 34% decrease in overall time to diagnosis[2].

Set up and scan as usual, with a high-performance table and gantry controls that speed workflow. Just 2 seconds are needed to complete a full chest-abdomen-pelvis scan. Gain additional clinical insights fast with no special protocols and no separate reconstructions, and with spectral reconstructions in less than 60 seconds. Results are always available in any reading environment with Philips Spectral Magic Glass on PACS for excellent visualization.

Save the costs of repeat scans and contrast media, and potentially avoid scans from other modalities. Enhance characterization of complex plaque and improve myocardial tissue evaluation, traditionally done with MRI. Manage wait lists for cardiac patients who would otherwise have been scanned by MRI. Help stratify risk of severe disease in cardiac patients, reducing unnecessary cath lab interventions. Spectral has demonstrated $135K annual savings (USD) by avoiding the need for unreimbursed confirmation scans.[1]
