    of AV procedures can be done on the console and sent to PACS in 30% less time4

    which means technologists can start post-processing and deliver more diagnostic information to the radiologist, thus saving reporting time.

Patient-centered productivity

MR Smart Workflow assists technologists at every step to perform MR examinations with ease. They are in control of their day, by allowing them to plan a complete day ahead on the console. Patient set-up is supported by on-system guidance and automation, resulting in seamless patient preparation. Finally, the workspace set-up in the control room is equipped with an intuitive interface and smart planning tools that help to achieve fast and consistent results.

Footnotes
  1. < 1 min patient set-up for routine exams, based on in-house testing. Results may vary. 
  2. Compared to Philips conventional (belt-based) triggering method. Based on survey from 9 technologists in SCM IRM Belledone.
  3. SmartExam is not available to patients with MR Conditional Implants..
  4. AV procedures performed by volume on console vs a workstation 30% less time compared to a workstation.
  5. Only for use with MR Safe or MR Conditional Implants by strictly following the instructions for use.
  6. The addition of step-by-step guidance and automation of routine and complex post-processing applications can now be performed by the technologist on the console, saved via bookmark functionality, and handed off to the radiologist, which reduces time to results.
