Philips’ Ingenia Ambition 1.5T MR is the latest advance in the Ingenia MRI portfolio. The portfolio comprises fully-digital MRI systems, healthcare informatics and a range of maintenance and life cycle services for integrated solutions that transcend diagnostic boundaries by delivering speed, comfort and confidence, all with the aim to help improve patient care. Incorporating Philips’ breakthrough BlueSeal fully-sealed magnet, the Ingenia Ambition is the world’s first MR system to enable helium-free operations1, reducing the chance of potentially lengthy and costly disruptions, and virtually eliminating dependency on the unpredictable pricing of helium. In addition, the Ingenia Ambition makes installation significantly easier as it does not require quenching or exhaust capability and is 900kg lighter in comparison to its predecessor2.

Philips Azurion with FlexArm sets a new standard for patient imaging and positioning flexibility for image-guided procedures. During increasingly complex interventions, clinicians need to quickly and easily visualize critical anatomy and identify changes to the patient during the procedure. Azurion with FlexArm includes a set of innovations that makes it easier for the clinician to perform imaging across the entire patient anatomy in both 2D and 3D. As the clinician moves the system, the image beam automatically maintains alignment with the patient, allowing more consistent visualization and enabling them to keep their focus on the treatment.
The industry-first integrated tele-ultrasound solution, Philips Lumify powered by IIT’s Reacts collaborative platform, breaks down barriers for care providers, connecting clinicians around the globe in real time. This innovation connects clinicians around the globe in real time by turning a compatible smart device into an integrated tele-ultrasound solution, combining two-way audio-visual calls with live ultrasound streaming. With this intuitive, easy-to-use integrated system, clinicians can begin their Reacts session with a face-to-face conversation on their Lumify ultrasound system, sharing the ultrasound stream, so both parties are simultaneously viewing the live ultrasound image and probe positioning, while discussing and interacting at the same time.
