Helping doctors improve patient care

Time is critical when faced with a serious condition. The innovation of MRI scanners can help a clinician diagnose a patient which can prompt faster surgical intervention. It’s also necessary to meet the relentless demands for efficiency in 21st century medicine. Philips innovative digital broadband MRI scanners are helping to improve hospital workflows whilst also helping to improve patient care.

A young life stalled

Mostafa was active and inquisitive as a child. Brain cancer changed that. His lively personality was dramatically transformed. He became sullen and lost interest in everything.

MRI technicians and surgeons work together to remove a brain tumor.

When a child is sick it can paralyze the whole family so the doctor is put under a lot of pressure and we can support him by increasing efficiency.”

Mohamed Mostafa

General Manager of Philips Healthcare

Achieving more with less

When Mostafa arrived at the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Cairo, he complained of blurred vision and headaches. The Philips Ingenia 3 Tesla MRI scanner was used to scan his brain. These images helped the doctors to precisely locate the cancer.

Just as important as the benefits to the patient are those experienced by key stakeholders in terms of resource management. More accurate diagnoses and follow-ups in a faster time period ease pressure on hospitals - and the governments and businesses that run them.

The Philips Ingenia Magnetic Resonance Imaging's special digitization technology - using broadband fiber optic cables - allows the system to deliver high quality yet detailed imaging results. This, plus its ease of use means that clinicians are provided with a system that promotes efficiency in daily workflows in the field of body oncology.

The MRI images help guide us during surgery. They serve as a sort of navigation system.”

Dr. Mohamed El Telbagy

Director of Pediatric Neurosurgical Dept., Children’s Cancer Hospital, Egypt
