Philips launches Ingenia Ambition X for step-change in productivity
Application combines fully sealed BlueSeal magnet technology, workflow innovations
Published in Daily News Egypt on 23 - 01 - 2019

Philips Egypt announced on Saturday the local launch the Ingenia Ambition X 1.5T MR during the recently concluded African Society of Radiology (ASR) conference, which took place in Cairo from 16-19 January.
The new innovation is the latest advance in the Ingenia MRI portfolio, which comprises of fully-digital MRI systems, healthcare informatics, and a range of maintenance and life cycle services for integrated solutions that empower a faster, smarter, and simpler path toward enabling a confident diagnosis.
The first commercial installation of the Ingenia Ambition X was recently completed at Spital Uster Hospital, a major provider of extended primary healthcare in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The Ingenia Ambition X is CE marked and has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In radiology, meeting the need for high productivity and an improved patient experience while ensuring excellence in imaging can be daunting. The perception is often that MR represents a trade-off between productivity and image quality. The Ingenia Ambition X provides leading-edge MR imaging capabilities while helping to increase overall productivity, combining its revolutionary BlueSeal magnet with innovations that can help reduce downtime, enable single operator workflow and speed up exam times by up to 50%.
"MRI provides exceptional diagnostic and therapy guidance capabilities, but it also places substantial operational demands on the hospital or imaging centre due to requirements for installation, footprint and service," said Iyad AlTaiyeb the CEO of Philips North East Africa.
He added that: "BlueSeal is a breakthrough MRI technology and we're proud to be first to market it. The fully-sealed magnet dramatically reduces the amount of liquid helium needed to cool the magnet to less than half a percent of the current norm. This results in significant operational benefits for our customers, including a smaller, lighter, and more flexible installation footprint, and a more efficient return to normal operations if an interruption in service should ever occur."
Incorporating Philips' breakthrough BlueSeal fully-sealed magnet, the Ingenia Ambition X is the world's first MR system to enable helium-free operations, reducing the chance of potentially lengthy and costly disruptions, and virtually eliminating dependency on a commodity with an unpredictable supply. The fully-sealed system does not require a vent pipe, and is around 900kg lighter than its predecessor, significantly reducing the siting challenges presented by conventional magnets and lowering construction costs.
Furthermore, the Ingenia Ambition X includes a range of innovative features that combine to deliver a step-change in productivity. With Philips' EasySwitch solution, the BlueSeal's magnetic field can be easily turned off if an item becomes stuck in the bore. Once the problem is resolved, an in-house or Philips technician can initiate an automated ramp-up to bring the magnet back to field, minimising operational downtime. A conventional MR can require two staff to manage daily operations. The Ingenia Ambition X combines guided patient setup and adaptive intelligence-driven SmartExam analytics for automatic planning, scanning and processing. This frees up time to enable a single operator to manage the full scan from the patient's side with just a single touch of a button.
Philips compressed SENSE is an advanced acceleration application that reduces exam times by up to 50%. In addition, Philips VitalEye is a unique approach to detecting patient physiology and breathing movement. VitalEye technology and algorithms intelligently extract signs of breathing – allowing routine exam set-up time to occur in less than a minute, even for less experienced operators. Together, these innovations help to standardise and speed up workflow, allowing clinicians to focus on the patient.
