The Philips Big Bore RT is a dedicated oncology CT simulator built to advance critical clinical decisions across all phases of scanning, planning and treatment. New technologies include iterative model reconstruction (IMR), which delivers visualization of fine detail and improved clinical accuracy in the detection and delineation of small, subtle structures. With reconstruction speeds of less than three minutes for the majority of reference protocols, IMR improves image quality and advances auto-segmentation.

With its strength in soft tissue visualization and significant improvements in geometric accuracy, MRI continues to gain in popularity for radiation therapy applications. At ASTRO Philips is launching its new fully-digital Ingenia MR-RT platform, which comprises the Ingenia Elition 3.0T MR-RT and Ambition X 1.5T MR-RT systems. Both include Compressed SENSE, an advanced acceleration application that reduces 2D and 3D scan times by up to 50% [1], accelerating patient exams.
The Ingenia Ambition X is the first MR system to incorporate Philips’ breakthrough BlueSeal magnet, the world’s first MR system to enable helium-free operations [2]. The fully-sealed system does not require a vent pipe and is around 900kg lighter than its predecessor [3], making it easier to install in existing radiation oncology facilities. The Ingenia Elition incorporates new high-performance gradients to enable fast diffusion scans with a high signal-to-noise ratio, supporting improved tissue characterization and treatment response monitoring.
The Philips Ingenia MR-RT platform is the world’s first to have an MR-only simulation package. Philips is expanding the role of MR to new clinical areas in radiation therapy treatment planning and at ASTRO will showcase MR-only simulation for pelvis [4], enabling the planning of radiation therapy of soft-tissue cancers including the prostate, bladder, rectum, anus and cervix.
Partnering for integrated imaging, planning and treatment
Philips’ strong partnerships across imaging, planning and treatment support increased precision and clinical confidence to help clinicians deliver the best possible care. Demonstrating continued success for Philips’ strategic partnership with IBA, Proton Partners International continues to roll out its network of UK cancer centers incorporating integrated systems from Philips and IBA. In June, Elekta announced that it has received CE marking for Elekta Unity, the world's first high-field MR-linac, which incorporates Philips’ 1.5T digital MR imaging technology.
