Philips receives FDA 510(k) clearance to market multiple new applications on its IntelliSpace Portal platform for Radiology

The number of people diagnosed with cancer and chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular Disease, COPD and Dementia continues to rise. Timely diagnosis and early intervention can improve patient outcomes. These conditions also require longer term treatment and continued follow-up to monitor a patient’s response to a chosen therapy over time and define the next steps in the treatment process. 

“Analytics applications optimized for clinical decision support and longitudinal and quantified patient tracking are becoming increasingly important to radiologists,” said Mark van Buchem, professor of neuroradiology at the Leiden University Medical Center, one of the development partners of IntelliSpace Portal 9.0. “They can help visualize and quantify very subtle manifestations of disease and differences over time that may not be seen with the naked eye. IntelliSpace Portal 9.0 integrates into our existing workflow and adds greatly to our patient care.” 

“IntelliSpace Portal shows how we continuously innovate to help clinicians achieve first-time-right diagnoses, track disease development, and improve patient care,” said Yair Briman, Business Leader Healthcare Informatics at Philips. “Together with clinical partners we develop solutions that help add depth and insight to a physician’s diagnosis. Our newest clinical informatics innovations can now be used to help streamline care for more and even the most complex patients.”

The qEASL[1]  capability within Multi-Modality Tumor Tracking offers a new method for enhanced measurement of tumor volume based on MRI and CT scans. This functionality aims to improve the current standard for cancer treatment follow-ups giving a visual indication of how cells respond to therapy. Also now available in the U.S. is Lung Nodule Assessment, which offers a diagnostic patient imaging tool that provides quantitative and characterization information about nodules in the lung in a single CT study, or over time during the course of multiple thoracic studies.
