Advanced brain scan in the angio suite
The Direct to Angio Suite workflow is enabled by an advanced brain scan in the angio suite, developed by Philips, that uses improved cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to improve image quality and facilitate triage of patients. This investigational device reconstructs the stroke CBCT images using specially designed algorithms and filters to reduce artifacts caused by patient motion, bone beam hardening and metal objects.

"In a single center randomized clinical trial in our center, the Direct to Angio Suite workflow has shown a significant improvement in clinical outcomes in patients who suffered a stroke," said Dr. Marc Ribó, WE-TRUST co-Principal Investigator, Interventional Neurologist at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and researcher at the Stroke Research group at the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). "With the updated Stroke CBCT investigational device we can better facilitate triage of patients through improved image quality."
"We are very excited to initiate this multicenter study, partnering with leading stroke centers and physicians to innovate the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients," said Dr. Atul Gupta, Chief Medical Officer for Image Guided Therapy at Philips. "The WE-TRUST study is a key milestone, building on Philips' leading position in image guided therapy and our strong global network of clinical partnerships. It adds to our deep commitment to further optimize stroke workflow, remove the hurdles to fast, decisive treatment, and improve stroke outcomes."
The trial will primarily be carried out on Philips Image Guided Therapy System – Azurion – the company's leading system for interventional procedures. The primary endpoint of the WE-TRUST trial is clinical outcome measured by the patients' functional status (mRS) three months after the procedure.
