Royal Philips, the parent company of Philips Healthcare, and West Physics are collaborating to create a CT radiation dose management program designed to help healthcare systems comply with new requirements from accrediting and regulatory bodies.
Philips will offer its DoseWise Portal to West Physics and its clients to help establish programs for managing CT protocol optimization, optimize CT equipment through protocol management and benchmarking, and apply data-driven analytics to assist with regulatory standard compliance, among other functions. DoseWise Portal is a multivendor and multimodality software application for radiation data collection, management, and analysis.
The combination of West Physics' services and Philips' DoseWise Portal will be available in three levels of support for health systems of all sizes.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
