Philips Brilliance 16 Slice CT

The Philips Brilliance 16 is a precision 16-Slice
computed tomography (CT) scanner designed to obtain high-resolution images over
a wide range of applications, such as CT colonography and pulmonary studies.
The Brilliance 16 is a high-powered, compact, and versatile CT scanner that
is equipped with Philips' premium technologies configured to reduce the scan times,
decrease the radiation dose, and enhance the workflow efficiency
and the patient comfort. The Brilliance 16 is designed to perform fast scanning
and reconstruction to increase overall throughput.
The system takes 0.4 seconds per full gantry rotation at a temporal resolution
of 53 msec. The reconstruction process is rated at 20 ips.
The 16-Slice CT scanner can also enhance the patient comfort and safety.
It is equipped with the Philips DoseWise system arranged
to improve the dose efficiency without sacrificing the image quality.
It is also provided with the Philips iDose4 that enables the Brilliance 16
to deliver high-quality images based on the patient's needs at very low dose.
The Brilliance 16 CT scanner is also equipped with the Philips MRC X-ray tube
which allows the device to be used for a longer period of time.
The patented X-ray tube also provides the required heating capacity that allows
for longer scan times to enable thin-slice imaging.
