SpDS comprises spectral enhanced comprehensive cardiac analysis, advanced vessel analysis and enhanced tumour tracking.
The system enables clinicians to use on-demand spectral information to achieve better clinical decision support without any added complexity of special modes or workstations, which disrupt user workflow.
Additionally, the tools allow for viewing and analysis of spectral datasets in various settings, including a reading room, on picture archiving and communication systems, or from remote locations.
Philips CT senior vice-president Mikael Strindlund said: "The game changing capabilities of the Spectral Diagnostic Suite represent our ongoing commitment to drive advanced innovation in medical imaging to improve clinical output and diagnostic confidence, leading to better care for patients at lower dose exposure.
