ROCC, a multi-vendor and multi-modality imaging solution, is already widely utilised across North America and Europe.  

Compatible with any magnetic resonance (MR) or computerised tomography (CT) system, it connects imaging experts in a central command centre with technologists at various locations within an organisation.  

A pilot study conducted at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London reported a 9% rise in scanning throughput and no exam recalls, highlighting the efficiency of ROCC. 

Philips Business Leader Patient Care Informatics Shiv Gopalkrishnan said: “Healthcare providers are increasingly confronted with the challenge of not having enough skilled technologists to meet the demand for patient imaging exams, particularly for more complex exams such as cardiac MR.
