Royal Philips will supply Carilion Clinic in Roanoke, VA, with cardiovascular imaging software and tech at the future home of the clinic's Cardiovascular Institute at Crystal Spring Tower.
Carilion’s new facility will have 11 Philips interventional suites, allowing physicians to treat patients with complex cardiovascular conditions. Services will include inpatient nursing care, cardiovascular operating rooms, cardiac catheterization, and electrophysiology labs. Along with offering care to the local community, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital is a major referral center in the area and the only level-one trauma center for patients in the region.
Philips will supply software and technologies for cardiovascular indications, including its Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System, its Epiq CVx cardiology ultrasound system with ultrasound-enabled AI capabilities, its IntraSight with SyncVision for intravascular ultrasound imaging, and physiology and interventional tools. All aim to reduce x-ray dosage for patients as well as improve workflows and clinical confidence.
Philips will also provide Carilion Clinic with a service and maintenance program, it said.
![Examples of ultrasound findings and techniques. (A) Images in a 39-year-old male patient with a mass in the left thigh. The mass is heterogeneous on the B-mode US image (compared with the patient in D) and showed increased microvascularity (superb microvascular imaging [SMI]) and shear-wave elastography (SWE) values. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy (with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in surgical specimen). (B) Images in an 18-year-old male patient with a mass in the left leg. The mass is hypoechoic on the B-mode image, with no other findings suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is in contact with the cortex of the tibia, which is slightly irregular. CT revealed a doubtful anteromedial tibial erosion. The microvascular study demonstrated high vascularization, suggestive of malignancy. Periosteal Ewing sarcoma was diagnosed with both histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. (C) Images in a 69-year-old female patient with a lump growing on the outside of the left leg. Multiple SWE examinations were performed (please note the high values obtained in the measurements, whereas the color map highlights the stiffness relative to adjacent tissues). SMI showed areas of increased vascularization to target for sampling. Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with residual leiomyosarcoma in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. (D) Images in a 56-year-old female patient with a mass in the right thigh. The mass is heterogeneous at both B-mode ultrasound (similar to patient A) and MRI (coronal T2-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery [SPAIR]; T1-weighted pre-contrast and postcontrast imaging), which even shows uptake after the administration of paramagnetic contrast material, which is traditionally suggestive of malignancy. Low values at SMI and elastography are suggestive of benignity. Spindle cell lipoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the surgical specimen.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/images-radiol250278fig2.APCFLSvX6p.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
