Philips MR SmartSpeed
No compromise.
Image quality and speed at your fingertips.
Fast high-quality imaging with AI
Most MRI departments share three priorities: increasing productivity, patient satisfaction and referring physician satisfaction1. Speed that doesn't compromise on image quality can address these needs.
This is what drove us to pioneer speed applications and until recently our state-of-the-art speed engine, Compressed SENSE. And now, we are building on our proven technology and enhancing it with AI.
Philips SmartSpeed delivers fast high-quality imaging for a wider range of patients, including patients who are in pain, who struggle to hold their breath during the exam, or who have MR conditional implants.
How SmartSpeed can benefit your MR department
Increase productivity with fast MRI
Up to 3 times faster
By scanning up to three times faster2 and helping to reduce the total exam time, Philips SmartSpeed can increase MRI department productivity and reduce the cost per exam.
Enhance diagnostic confidence
Up to 65% higher resolution
By providing higher resolution2, Philips SmartSpeed delivers outstanding image quality so that radiologists can feel confident when providing information to the referring physician.
Increase patient accessibility
97% compatibility
Since Philips SmartSpeed is designed for a broad range of patients with 97% applicability of all sequences3, it can be used to address the imaging needs of the vast majority of patients.
What makes Philips SmartSpeed so fast and effective?
Philips SmartSpeed is built on two key technologies:
Compressed SENSE: Our state-of-the-art speed engine that uses a unique, full balanced k-space sampling approach to maximize speed while preserving details. The result? No compromise on image quality.
Compressed SENSE: Our state-of-the-art speed engine that uses a unique, full balanced k-space sampling approach to maximize speed without compromise.
Adaptive-CS-Net: An award-winning AI reconstruction4 that has been trained with Compressed SENSE data as input, and which is applied at the source of the MR signal to ensure maximum data and image fidelity.
Adaptive-CS-Net: An award-winning AI reconstruction4 applied at the source of the MR signal to ensure maximum data and image fidelity.
Together, these AI radiology technologies speed up scan time with no loss in image quality.
See how Ben Kennedy, MRI & Clinical Director at Mermaid Beach Radiology, is benefiting from this innovation in his clinical practice.
I am astonished by the great potential of SmartSpeed. Especially 3D imaging in MSK is getting feasible now. This is because I get very good image quality in very short scan time and that is needed in a private imaging center like ours.’’
Dr. Tobias Schröter
MRT-Praxis Potsdam, Germany
The AI-based Philips SmartSpeed reconstruction is the new benchmark among acceleration techniques for us. It improves Compressed SENSE in all aspects and allows a reduction in scan times with unchanged excellent image quality and diagnostic confidence.’’
Dr. Grischa Bratke
University Medical Center Cologne, Germany
The excellent denoising capability in Philips SmartSpeed allows imaging with extremely high resolution without increasing the scan time. This is particularly important, for example, in depicting small lesions in the vascular system.’’
