Here are some of the ways we’re making imaging in urgent care situations easier.
Empowering radiologists, the unsung heroes of value-based care
The past 30 years have seen medical imaging technology revolutionize the way we deliver healthcare. Today, more patients than ever undergo diagnostic imaging scans, making radiologists the often-invisible hero in determining their path to confident diagnosis and treatment.
High lipid concentration of adipose tissues can make it difficult to interpret MRI exams. Information can be missed when the right acquisitions, such as with as well as without fat suppression, are not included. While this can be solved by adding sequences, this adds to the duration of the exam and increases the likelihood for patient motion – a source of image degradation.
Through Philips mDIXON XD fat suppression application, we can help radiology teams achieve robust capturing of fat-free MRI images in a hectic ED environment. This technology brings a new dimension to fat-free imaging suppression by providing uniform, complete and consistent fat-free images as well as images with both water and fat at the same time, especially useful when time is of the essence
Robust with regard to susceptibility-type problems that come up with traditional spectral fat-free images, mDIXON XD can bring speed and clarity to MRI imaging.
