Description

The Philips Brilliance iCT is a state-of-the-art computed tomography system that sets new benchmarks in speed, image quality, and dose efficiency. Designed for high-demand clinical environments, it excels in cardiology, oncology, neuroimaging, emergency diagnostics, and trauma—delivering rapid, precise, and low-dose examinations even under intensive workflow conditions.
Key Advantages
  • Ultra-fast gantry rotation: As fast as 0.27 seconds, enabling cardiac imaging in just two heartbeats—significantly reducing motion artifacts and improving diagnostic accuracy in patients with arrhythmia or high heart rates
  • NanoPanel 3D spherical detectors: Advanced detector geometry that effectively suppresses scatter radiation, enhancing contrast resolution while reducing patient dose by up to 80% compared to conventional CT systems (as reported by the manufacturer)
  • Isotropic spatial resolution: Enables true volumetric imaging with equal resolution in all planes, supporting high-fidelity multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) and 3D visualizations
  • Metal Artifact Reduction (O-MAR): Dedicated algorithms minimize streaking and distortion from metallic implants—critical for dental, maxillofacial, and orthopedic imaging
  • Z-axis scalability: Ensures consistent image quality and geometric accuracy across extended anatomical volumes, essential for perfusion studies and whole-organ coverage
Patient & Workflow Features
  • Table load capacity: Up to 204 kg, accommodating a broad range of patients, including bariatric cases
  • 70 cm gantry aperture: Provides ample space for comfortable patient positioning and interventional procedures
  • Comprehensive software ecosystem: Integrated platform covering exam planning, acquisition, reconstruction, visualization, and archiving
  • Unlimited post-processing workstations: Supports scalable deployment for advanced analysis (e.g., cardiac, neuro, oncology) across departments
