AMSTERDAM and DENVER, June 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips (NSYE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced that it will be showcasing molecular imaging solutions highlighting Philips' commitment to innovation and more personalized care at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2017 Annual Meeting. Molecular imaging provides insight into molecular and cellular processes in the body, and has the potential to transform healthcare by offering earlier detection and more precise treatment of diseases. Philips continues to bring solutions into the field of nuclear medicine that enhance quantitative accuracy and enable new clinical applications driving more personalized care and workflow efficiencies from diagnosis to treatment.

Nuclear medicine technology has significantly evolved over the years – growing from just scanners to solutions that comprise systems and advanced informatics, for enhanced image quality, quantification and analytics. As value-based care changes the way healthcare organizations approach care delivery, there is a greater need for easy to use, fast and precise imaging. With increased access to better data, clinicians are looking for ways to make that data actionable, especially in terms of customizing patient treatment. Molecular imaging accomplishes that, allowing physicians to make decisions based on the specific molecular and cellular patterns of disease in addition to the patient's anatomy.

"Molecular imaging today allows physicians to make decisions with greater insight, precision and confidence, bringing healthcare one step closer to personalized care," said Kirill Shalyaev, Ph.D., Business Leader, Advanced Molecular Imaging, Philips. "Philips has made a lasting impact in nuclear medicine by providing clinicians with innovations such as Time-of-Flight PET and digital PET/CT, and we remain dedicated to developing solutions that simplify the path to clinical decision making for more confident diagnosis and a faster path to treatment."
