February 29, 2024

• New CT 5300 system provides more accurate and reliable imaging results to better manage increase in complex cardiac cases where precise patient diagnosis is crucial
• Philips’ latest innovation leverages the power of AI at every stage in CT scanner operation to enhance productivity and diagnostic capabilities of high-throughput, short-staffed radiology departments

Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Vienna, Austria – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the launch of Philips CT 5300 system equipped with advanced AI capabilities designed to be used for diagnosis, interventional procedures and screening. The flexible X-ray CT system increases diagnostic confidence, streamlines workflow efficiency, and maximizes system up-time, helping to improve patient outcomes and department productivity. As healthcare providers strive to deliver high-quality care to patients, at #ECR2024 Philips is partnering with its customers to improve productivity and access to more sustainable healthcare.

CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of cardiac disease. Recent research indicates a “CT first” strategy to triage patients presenting with chest pain with undiagnosed coronary artery disease has been shown to improve patient care by helping them avoid more invasive procedures [1]. However, a lack of availability of high-quality CT systems, or physicians qualified to read cardiac CT exams, often prevents this approach. The Philips CT 5300 system meets advanced diagnostic imaging requirements for cardiac care patient guidelines, as well as for other challenging areas such as trauma care and interventional procedures.

The system also integrates virtual tools for real-time collaboration and clinical/technical support, which can be instrumental in overcoming challenges related to increased patient caseloads, complex cases, staff shortages, and budget constraints. By bringing clinical expertise and functionality previously associated with high-end scanners into a more affordable, versatile system, Philips is committed to making advanced medical technology more accessible to more patients. Emphasizing lifetime value and sustainability, the CT 5300 is designed to lower energy consumption.
