256 Slice Spiral C.T. (Philips), Facilities

X-Ray Tube Features	Clinical Value
Spiral Groove Bearing	Anode rotation stability for virtually motion-free, focal spot for better image clarity
Segmented Anode	12 individual anode segments compensate for heating and cooling cycles for higher reliability
Smart Focal Spot	Dynamic focal spot motion doubles the number of projections to yield 256 slices and improves in-plane spatial resolution

Nano-Panel Detector Features	Clinical Value
TACH 2 Detector Electronics	Second generation of TACH technology further reduces the electronic noise enabling improved image quality at low radiation doses
Ultra High Resolution (up to 24 Lp/cm spatial resolution)	High spatial resolution means better definition of small structures
RapidView Reconstruction Features	Clinical Value
3D Cone Beam Reconstruction Algorithm (COBRA)	COBRA provides high image quality without cone beam artifacts
Adaptive Multicycle Reconstruction	Part of the Rate Response CV Toolkit for cardiac CT imaging, these features optimize every voxel for the optimal temporal resolution
Ultra High Resolution Matrices	768² and 1024² reconstruction matrices take advantage of high resolution imaging
Quad Core processors	Philips utilizes innovations in computer technology to continuously improve reconstruction performance

The Philips Advantage	Clinical Value
120 kW generator	Improved image quality through ample photon delivery regardless of patient habitués,organ motility, and ability to comply.
RapidView reconstruction with Quad-Core Processors and Fast Preview	Faster reconstruction of cone beam data means higher throughput and less waiting for large volume datasets.
Flexible slice acquisition modes	Up to 256 slices over a full 500mm FOV for faster and more complete whole body imaging
Subsecond 360° Rotation Time (down to 0.27 sec with Rate Responsive Toolkit)	Improved patient compliance and image quality through faster rotation times and less susceptibility to motion artifacts with sub-millimeter image quality for visualization of subtle abnormalities. Rotation speed without compromise for sharp, precise and virtually motion free images of the coronanes and whole body structures during pediatric.non-compliant patient, and trauma scanning

Brilliance iCT Highlights

The Brilliance iCT is offered in three designed-around-you configurations capable of achieving rotational speeds up to 0.27 seconds to enhance image quality for emerging applications such as cardiac imaging and can improve patient experience for a variety of general radiology protocols through shortened examination times.

The Brilliance iCT’s outstanding rotational speed is supported by up to 120kW of instantaneous power to maximize image quality of the shortest scans.

The ability to perform short scan, high power imaging is enhanced through an extended longitudinal coverage realizing up to 256 slices – enabling the efficient collection of cardiac, perfusion, pediatric, and whole bod imaging

This powerful combination of speed, power, and coverage is further enhanced through new dose management technologies. Unique to Philips iCT is the Eclipse DoseRight collimator eliminating excess dose during helical scanning.

As customary in Philips CT products, the iCT offers high-quality imaging, fast reconstructions, task automation, and an array of features to minimize radiation doses.

Philips IMRC X-ray tube featuring an advanced spiral groove bearing and segmented anode enabling direct cooling to effectively deliver 30 MHU equivalent performance compared to conventional X-ray tubes.

Nano-Panel Tile Detectors with TACH 2 technology	Philips patented ASIC chip provides virtually noise free signal conversion for better image quality.
2D Anti-Scatter	Enhanced image quality over larger z-axis coverage. Improved Hounsfield uniformity to improve visualization of low-contrast structures and improve image quality.
Smart Focal Spot	Improves image definition and image quality through the generation of 256 slices
