Methodist Hospitals has made a strategic investment in Philips’ image-guided therapy (IGT) solutions to advance cardiology, neurovascular and complex interventional radiology services in Northwest Indiana, US.
The solutions integrate imaging systems, software, and diagnostic and therapeutic devices.
This initiative aims to bolster healthcare services for critical health requirements, encompassing stroke treatment, oncology therapies.
Methodist Hospitals is set to enhance its healthcare delivery by incorporating Philips' Azurion biplane for routine and intricate procedures, which is engineered to expedite and refine minimally invasive procedures.
Additionally, two single-plane labs will be standardised for cardiovascular care, and a multi-purpose lab will be established for intricate cardiovascular and interventional radiology treatments.
Methodist Hospitals president and CEO Matt Doyle said: “Our collaboration with Philips enables us to maintain the highest standards of care now and into the future, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.”
With over 500 inpatient beds and a team of healthcare professionals, Methodist Hospitals provides emergency care, surgical services, oncology and cardiology.
Philips North America chief region leader Jeff DiLullo said: “Philips is proud to support these clinicians in making the right decisions faster, treating more patients more effectively, and achieving better health outcomes for their community with some of the most advanced interventional suites in the industry.”
The integration of Philips' Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System, featuring FlexArm and ClarityIQ technology, aims to optimise imaging while lessening X-ray exposure and improving procedural efficiency.
Methodist Hospitals is also set to leverage Philips' IntraSight with SyncVision, which offers intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging and additional tools to streamline intricate interventions.
In August 2023, GK Financing extended its alliance with Methodist Hospitals for another eight years.
