Philips Healthcare parent Royal Philips Electronics plans to collaborate with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) to showcase a hybrid operating room (OR) suite at the upcoming ACC meeting in Atlanta.
The hybrid OR suite combines the sterility and instruments of a traditional operating room with the x-ray and ultrasound imaging systems and radiation shielding of a cath lab, allowing physicians from various specialties to collaborate, Philips said. Physicians can perform a range of endovascular, percutaneous, and open procedures, according to Philips.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
