With the new certification, diagnostic imaging will be more accessible to more patients in Europe, Philips said. The system helps radiologists remotely control scans to acquire high-quality images needed for diagnostic confidence and patient outcomes.

“With the Radiology Operations Command Center, we can support multiple locations in real-time. We utilize the expertise in our Command Center to ensure that every site has access to it. This helps us to improve efficiency and maintain the same level of care at all facilities,” Martina Salomon, MR application specialist, at Med360° in Leverkusen, Germany, said in a news release.

Philips’ Radiology Operations Command Center is a vendor-agnostic, multi-modality imaging system. It can be used with multiple vendor MR, CT or PET-CT configurations and seamlessly connects imaging experts in a command center with technologists at scan locations in the organization.
