Philips Brilliance 16-Slice CT Scanner

The Philips Brilliance 16-Slice CT Scanner handles both routine studies and motion-sensitive applications like CT colonography without requiring separate protocols or extended setup times. Rate Responsive technology gives you cardiac imaging capabilities including calcium scoring and gating, while the MRC X-ray tube maintains heat capacity for extended thin-slice scanning sessions.

Spiral Auto Start monitors contrast injections and triggers scans directly from the scan room, eliminating timing delays between injection and acquisition. The short version: automated setup tools handle patient positioning and scan parameters, while 20 images per second reconstruction keeps studies moving through your queue.

Brilliance Extended Workspace lets technologists work on clinical applications independently of the scanner console, and the optional Portal system handles large datasets remotely from any laptop. Worth noting the 70 cm gantry clearance and 450 lb table capacity cover most patient populations without positioning compromises.
