“At Philips, we want to build a healthy society and achieve our goal of improving the lives of three billion people by 2025, and in order to do this we need to work with key organizations like the VA on improving the patient experience, giving our veterans the care they deserve and access to key diagnostic technologies like the Philips Ingenia 1.5T MRI,” said Joe Robinson, head of enterprise and government solutions at Philips. “Through our long-standing relationship with the VA we are looking at ways we can help them to address veteran’s health issues, helping to take care of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.”
Also key for organizations such as the VA is the fact that the Philips Ingenia 1.5T offers upgrades such as ScanWise Implant6, the industry's first MRI guided user interface to simplify the scanning of patients with MR Conditional implants like knee and hip replacements, spine implants and pacemakers. The software helps users streamline exams in this expanding healthcare area and complements Philips' suite of diagnostic imaging solutions, helping to improve hospital workflow and enhance the patient experience.
