Jack Feeney, the MRI Manager at Royal Darwin Hospital, discusses how his team serves a vast region of Northern Australia. With the implementation of Philips SmartSpeed, they have significantly shortened scan times, enabling the hospital to scan more patients efficiently while maintaining high-quality imaging. The advancements of SmartSpeed and SmartSpeed MotionFree have made a substantial difference for their diverse and often critically ill patient population.
At-a-glance:
- Shortening scan times and increasing patient throughput with SmartSpeed software
- Motion-free sequences enabling high-quality imaging even for patients who struggle to remain still during scans
SmartSpeed has allowed us to bring some of our exam times right back. And we have patients who are quite surprised when we tell them that the scan will take 10 or 15 minutes. They'll tell a story of their scan from 10 years ago that was half an hour.
