Philips Japan, Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Misako Abe, hereinafter 'Philips') will start selling the new product 'Verida', the world's first*1 AI*2-equipped multi-energy spectral CT, on Friday, April 17th.
In Japan's medical field, in addition to the increasing demand for healthcare due to a declining birthrate and aging population, long working hours and a chronic shortage of healthcare professionals have become severe social issues. Particularly in radiology, to cope with the increasing number of exams and the need for advanced diagnostics, there is a demand to perform more exams safely and with high quality using limited personnel. On the other hand, the operational burden required for long exam times, image reconstruction, and preparation for reading is one of the factors hindering work style reforms for medical workers.
'Verida', recently launched by Philips, is the world's first detector-based multi-energy spectral CT that integrates AI into the imaging chain process, from CT scanning to image reconstruction. Verida can simultaneously acquire high-definition conventional images and rich spectral information from a single scan, using the same workflow as conventional CT exams. By improving exam efficiency and reducing retakes, this supports the reduction of medical professionals' workload and improves workflows. The introduction of Verida is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy as well as the overall productivity of medical sites, centered around the radiology department.
### Key Product Features of 'Verida'
**1. World's First AI-Equipped Detector-Based Multi-Energy Spectral CT**
Verida is the world's first CT system to integrate advanced AI technology into the detector-based spectral CT technology that Philips has pioneered and popularized clinically. By utilizing AI in the sequence of CT image acquisition processes—scanning, detection, and image reconstruction—it reduces system noise and achieves high-definition, stable image quality. Moreover, with the same workflow as standard CT exams, it is possible to acquire high-quality conventional images and abundant spectral information simultaneously from a single scan. This eliminates the need for additional exam settings or retakes, contributes to a more rapid and reliable provision of useful diagnostic information, and improves diagnostic confidence.
**2. High-Speed Image Reconstruction for Improved Exam Throughput and Operational Efficiency**
Verida enables high-speed image reconstruction of up to 145 images per second*3, and can automatically display the images of the entire exam within 30 seconds*3 after completion. This significantly shortens the waiting time after exams and the time required to prepare for reading, assisting in improving exam throughput in the radiology department.
In medical sites where the number of exams is increasing while labor shortages remain a challenge...
