Philips Medical Systems is introducing its CT TrueView software at this week's annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium in Washington, DC.
Using 3D CT images in the cath lab, CT TrueView aids treatment planning for patients undergoing invasive procedures for stent placement and chronic total occlusions, according to the Andover, MA-based vendor.
Philips will also be showing its Xcelera 2.1 cardiovascular information system for the first time in the U.S.
