Philips India introduces new Azurion interventional imaging system

Philips India, a leader in health technology and innovation, has introduced the new Azurion to specialist interventionalist across cardiology, neurology, vascular as well as surgery in India.

Designed to streamline neurovascular procedures and help care teams make the right decisions faster, treat more patients, and achieve better outcomes, the new interventional system features enhanced C-arm rotation and angulation (imaging angles). It also provides parking facilities that allow rapid transitioning between 2D to 3D imaging, comprehensive table-side control that eliminates the need to leave the sterile field, automatic beam rotation to obtain correctly oriented images for every angulation and rotation, and a new head immobiliser to support enhanced stroke care. 

Additionally, Philips is maximising the uptime of its angio suite solutions by using AI and machine learning to monitor system performance through the new remote connection services of the Philips Service Hub. These services communicate, monitor, and proactively respond to potential service issues in advance so that pre-emptive action can be taken.

The new Azurion, set-up at Philips Innovation Campus, Bengaluru - the company’s largest innovation hub globally - was showcased to 80 interventionalists from across India. 

The new Azurion system brings state-of-the art imaging capabilities and flexible ergonomic gantry positioning to optimize clinician workflow, ensuring faster and more precise treatment for the patients. This focus on enhanced imaging and efficiency reflects Philips’ commitment to improving patient outcomes in India. By allowing interventionalists to treat more patients, more efficiently, with potentially better outcomes, the new Azurion enhances both the staff and patient experience and contributes to lower cost of care.
