Royal Philips, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, announces the next generation of Philips Advanced Visualization Workspace—IntelliSpace Portal 12 for radiologists.
Launched at this year’s virtual Radiological Society of North America Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, IntelliSpace Portal features a set of new artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted quantitative assessment and automatic results-generation features to support the diagnostic workflow, including follow-up and communication across cardiology, pulmonology, oncology and neurology. Its AI-assisted pulmonary capabilities include the assessment of complex lung conditions associated with COVID-19.
“In the COVID era, the automatic detection and characterization of pulmonary infiltrates, especially in viral pneumonia, is very important,” says Hans-Ulrich Kauczor, professor and chairman of radiology at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. “IntelliSpace Portal’s AI-assisted quantitative assessment capabilities allow general radiologists and residents on call to get the necessary support to help identify COVID pneumonia, which is differentiated from other diagnoses. This also plays a significant role for longitudinal analysis and follow-up.”
Expanding its ecosystem for radiology solutions, new clinical software packages in cardiology, pulmonology, oncology and neurology being launched with IntelliSpace Portal 12, several of which have been integrated in collaboration with Pie Medical Imaging BV or Riverain Technologies, include:
Cardiology
- MR Cardiac Analysis: Pre-processing images to deliver AI-based right ventricle and left ventricle segmentation to ensure accurate volumetric and functional measurements, enabling completion of a full cardiac MRI functional analysis in less than 5 minutes.
- MR Cardiac Analysis: Pre-processing images to deliver AI-based right ventricle and left ventricle segmentation to ensure accurate volumetric and functional measurements, enabling completion of a full cardiac MRI functional analysis in less than 5 minutes.
Pulmonology
CT Pulmo Auto Results: Featuring AI algorithms trained on complex pulmonary CT scans, including those of COVID-19 patients, CT Pulmo Auto Results software performs automatic lung segmentation and lesion segmentation, together with classification of ground glass opacities/consolidation. Its automatically generated reports include volume summaries and lesion distribution data to help in the quantitative assessment of pulmonary infiltrates, enhancing diagnostic confidence without increasing reading time.
Oncology
CT ClearRead CAD Lung Nodule Analysis: Featuring AI-based detection and characterization for various nodule types including solid, part-solid and ground-glass lung nodules, enabling to perform nodule searches 26% faster and detect 29% of previously missed nodules.
Neurology
CT Brain Perfusion Analysis: IntelliSpace Portal 12 now supports automatic brain perfusion measurements instantly available on PACS with the option of automatically emailing perfusion results to a stroke patient’s clinicians within two minutes to reduce door-to-needle time.
Additional Enhancements
The software also includes a new photorealistic volume rendering technology using an interactive virtual light source to improve the visualization of volumes in terms of their depth and relationship to other key anatomies—enhancing its use as an educational and communication tool.
