How do we make real progress in CT solutions? By making real connections. Designing our CT meant understanding the needs of clinical staff while also considering the best possible patient care. The result? The Brilliance CT Big Bore simulator that allows scanning in exactly same position for planning as for treatment delivery – with no compromise. So you can adapt the simulations to your detailed needs, allowing for targeted treatment planning. And Brilliance CT Big Bore can be customised to produce more accurate, virtually artifact free 4D images while flowing smoothly into your facility’s workflow. For more information on the Brilliance CT Big Bore and other Philips Healthcare solutions visit www.philips.co.uk/healthcare or call us on 01483 864718.
