Royal Philips, parent company of Philips Healthcare, is showing its new Incisive CT platform at ECR 2019 in Vienna.
Incisive CT offers a wide range of features, including the following:
- A web-based dose monitoring software, DoseWise Portal, that provides data regarding radiation dose exposure
- Software dedicated to improving image quality: iDose4 for preventing image artifacts, and metal artifact reduction for large orthopedic implants (O-MAR)
- Philips' OnPlan patient-side gantry controls
- A self-monitoring setup that can predict and resolve potential issues
The new CT scanner also comes with a Tube for Life guarantee, which represents Philips' offer to replace the x-ray tube of any Incisive CT scanner at no additional cost. Clinicians can continually keep the scanner updated with the latest available software and hardware through the Philips Technology Maximizer program. In addition, Incisive CT is compatible with Philips' advanced visualization and quantification software, IntelliSpace Portal.
Philips plans to introduce Incisive CT to European and Asian markets in early 2019.

![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)
