Philips Healthcare has delivered its Azurion image-guided angiography platform to Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Barrie, Ontario.
Azurion is being used in RVH's Simcoe Muskoka Regional Heart Program, which aims to provide advanced cardiac care in North Simcoe Muskoka, according to the vendor. Launched last month in a new RVH partnership with Southlake Regional Health Centre, the new 16-bed, 14,300-sq-ft unit includes two procedure rooms with Azurion for performing cardiac angiograms and angioplasty.
![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)
