Congenital Heart Disease
Gentle Care. Powerful insights.
Minimally invasive congenital cardiac interventions are changing the therapeutic outcomes for young patients, and the rising number of adults with CHD. Philips is doing everything it can to help. Our congenital heart disease (CHD) suite is designed to adapt to your workflow needs, providing powerful imaging to help you decide, guide, treat, and confirm your interventions, while minimizing the harmful effects of radiation and contrast.
Improving lab performance while enabling confident treatment
CHDs present the distinct challenge of uniquely complex pathoanatomy in some of the most vulnerable patients. Our CHD suite is designed to provide profound imaging insights, while dramatically lowering the burden of radiation and contrast load on patients. Clinicians can decide with confidence, based on intuitive 3D imaging tools, multimodality fusion imaging and ultra low-dose protocols. The CHD suite enhances communication and patient access, enables efficiency and supports confidence in anatomical guidance, device navigation and accurate device placement.
Performance and superior care become one
Discover SmartCT, the next leap in simplifying and advancing in-room 3D imaging for congenital heart disease
The Philips image-guided therapy clinical application software SmartCT allows any clinical user to perform 3D imaging regardless of their level of experience with 3D imaging*. Via the touch screen at the table, you can access clinically tailored 3D acquisition protocols and advanced visualization and measurement tools that depict the type and extent of disease with great detail.
*The user level of expertise required is described in the Instructions for Use as the Intended Operator Profile.
We do have room at the table for the surgeons plus the biplane cameras… The biplane can be parked putting the entire structure will away from the table. That way we can move other equipment around in there. It allows surgeons to have excellent access to the patient.”

The Philips system is really one of the only systems which can accommodate those extremes in patient size and still keep the radiation dose to a minimum.”
Dr. James Kyser
Children’s Hospital of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, OR. Performs procedures on patients as small as 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs) up to 200 kg (440 lbs)
As the treating and responsible physician, it’s our obligation towards our small - and vulnerable - patients to use the newest and highly developed available technology. Especially for pediatric patients it’s extremely important to achieve the lowest radiation dosage, conserving at the same time the best required imaging quality. Our experience with ClarityIQ is that we are able to obtain this – even with ‘extra low dose’ – the lowest fluoroscopy setting - we are able to depict the shape of the heart and the vessels sharply and correctly….”

I have found that the 3D-RA tool is very beneficial for my pediatric patients to efficiently manage radiation dose, contrast dye, and procedure time.”
