Methodist Hospitals invests in Philips' IGT solutions
Methodist Hospitals has made a strategic investment in Philips' image-guided therapy (IGT) solutions to advance cardiology, neurovascular and complex interventional radiology services in Northwest Indiana, US. The solutions integrate imaging systems, software, and diagnostic and therapeutic devices. This initiative aims to bolster healthcare services for critical health requirements, encompassing stroke treatment, oncology therapies. Methodist Hospitals is set to enhance its healthcare delivery by incorporating Philips' Azurion biplane for routine and intricate procedures, which is engineered to expedite and refine minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, two single-plane labs will be standardised for cardiovascular care, and a multi-purpose lab will be established for intricate cardiovascular and interventional radiology treatments. Methodist Hospitals president and CEO Matt Doyle said: 'Our collaboration with Philips enables us to maintain the highest standards of care now and into the future, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.' With over 500 inpatient beds and a team of healthcare professionals, Methodist Hospitals provides emergency care, surgical services, oncology and cardiology. Philips North America chief region leader Jeff DiLullo said: 'Philips is proud to support these clinicians in making the right decisions faster, treating more patients more effectively, and achieving better health outcomes for their community with some of the most advanced interventional suites in the industry.' The integration of Philips' Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System, featuring FlexArm and ClarityIQ technology, aims to optimise imaging while lessening X-ray exposure and improving procedural efficiency. Methodist Hospitals is also set to leverage Philips' IntraSight with SyncVision, which offers intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging and additional tools to streamline intricate interventions. In August 2023, GK Financing extended its alliance with Methodist Hospitals for another eight years.

Methodist Hospitals Selects Philips to Advance Neurovascular, Cardiology and Complex Interventional Radiology Services in Northwest Indiana
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. & GARY, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and Methodist Hospitals today announced the healthcare provider's strategic investment in Philips' advanced portfolio of image-guided therapy (IGT) solutions that integrate imaging systems and software, with specialized diagnostic and therapeutic devices. The new interventional suites will support critical health needs within the community including active stroke treatment, oncology therapies, complex cardiovascular intervention and care for other prevalent health conditions. Methodist Hospitals will utilize one Philips Azurion biplane for both routine and complex procedures – such as active stroke intervention – designed to speed up and improve minimally invasive treatment. The health system will also standardize care on two single plane labs for cardiovascular care and a multi-purpose lab for complex cardiovascular and interventional radiology procedures. The Philips Azurion system has been shown to improve operational and clinical efficiency in the interventional suite while maintaining high quality care and staff satisfaction, including a 17% reduction in procedure time, providing the ability to treat one more patient per day [1]. 'Having leading edge health technology is crucial to delivering on our mission to be the best place for employees to work, for patients to receive care and for physicians to practice medicine,' said Matt Doyle, President & Chief Executive Officer, Methodist Hospitals. 'Philips' trusted solutions will empower us to deliver exceptional care to our patients close to home. Our collaboration with Philips enables us to maintain the highest standards of care now and into the future, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.' Methodist Hospitals is an award-winning healthcare provider that offers comprehensive services including emergency care, surgical services, oncology and cardiology, and is home to the Heart and Vascular Institute and NeuroScience Institute. The health system has more than 500 inpatient beds and more than 400 physicians and allied health professionals. 'These new interventional suites represent a significant step forward in fulfilling Methodist Hospitals' commitment to providing the highest level of care for every patient they serve,' said Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region Leader, Philips North America. 'Philips is proud to support these clinicians in making the right decisions faster, treating more patients more effectively, and achieving better health outcomes for their community with some of the most advanced interventional suites in the industry. We look forward to working closely with Methodist Hospitals to continue to transform the health of citizens in Northwest Indiana.' The Philips Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System with FlexArm and ClarityIQ technology provides exceptional imaging with reduced X-ray dose [2], improved workflow and more efficient turnaround times [1], offering a high level of clinical confidence. Methodist Hospitals will also benefit from Philips' IntraSight with SyncVision for IVUS imaging and additional physiology and interventional tools to simplify complex interventions, speed routine procedures and provide improved patient care [3,4]. Control of all compatible applications from a single touchscreen at the tableside helps clinicians make fast and informed decisions without breaking sterility.

The results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task.
