CT Cardiac with Advanced Visualization

Date & Time:

Tuesday June 27th 2023 

1300-1415 SGT (UTC+8:00)

We will deep-dive specifically into cardiac post-processing and how AV provides a professional with the tools they need to increase diagnostic confidence.

As intravenous contrast plays a significant role in cardiac scanning and post-processing, this webinar includes a special presentation by Bayer on renal safety and contrast considerations.

Noorlatisha Castillo (Tisha) will share information on Philips’ vendor agnostic advanced visualization platform to include existing and upcoming features that was released at RSNA 2022. She will introduce the upcoming software application: Auto Coronary Calcification Results, a software that can be applied on routine, plain chest CT that identifies calcification within the heart

Ruth Kresina will cover the basics of calcium scoring, an essential imaging sequence that is often included in the protocol for cardiac CT procedures. Non-contrast calcium scoring images are used for the evaluation of calcification in the heart’s vessels.Her presentation is supplemented by a clinical demonstration of calcium scoring post-processing using our vendor agnostic advanced visualization platform.

Dr May Lau will deep dive into understanding more about renal safety in patients undergoing coronary angiography and MSCT based on both cardiology and radiology guidelines to help guide decision making.

Dr John Younger will perform a clinical demonstration on the basics of cardiac CT analysis through the IntelliSpace Portal (ISP). Dr Younger will review cardiac CTA exams and post-process these cases methodically using the Comprehensive Cardiac Analysis (CCA) application. The application uses an automatic 3D model-based whole-heart segmentation to enable cardiac function analysis. Calculations include standard cardiac parameters such as EF, SV, CO, LV and RV mass, regurgitation volume and fraction index, RV/LV Early and Late filling volumes, and Early/Late LV filling ratio.

Key Takeaways

1. Auto Coronary Calcification Results
2. Calcium Scoring basics
3. CT Contrast
4. Cardiac Analysis with Advanced Visualization
5. Product and Clinical demonstrations

CT Oncology with Advanced Visualization.

Date & Time:

Tuesday, October 3rd 2023

1230-1345 SGT (UTC+8:00)

Spectral CT provides tremendous information and unique to Philips is the ability to provide both conventional and spectral datasets with just 1 scan.

We will deep-dive specifically into head and neck lesion analysis showcasing the benefits of combining Spectral Imaging and Advanced Visualization to provide a professional with the tools needed to increase diagnostic confidence.

Dr. Sandeep Bhuta will demonstrate how spectral results are used in clinical practice to evaluate head and neck cancer cases. Spectral CT technology is shown to improve detection and characterization of lesions, thus improving overall patient outcomes.

Noorlatisha Castillo (Tisha) will share information on Philips’ vendor agnostic advanced visualization platform to include existing and upcoming features that was released at RSNA 2022.

Unique to PHILIPS, Magic Glass on PACS is a solution that greatly complements the collaboration of radiology systems and software by providing faster and simpler workflow processes.

Spectral images can be viewed instantaneously, saving time from having to perform multiple image reconstructions.

Ruth Kresina will be discussing the basics of Spectral CT and provide an overall understanding of Spectral Imaging,PHILIPS detector based scanners provide 8 spectral results, each having its own strength in providing a multitude of information for more precise diagnosis

James Tan is our Clinical Applications Specialist Team Leader. He will showcase PHILIPS advanced visualization solution and perform a clinical demonstration of the Multi-modality Tumor Tracking (MMTT) application.

MMTT can be used to evaluate imaging from several modalities to enable efficient comparison, over multiple time-points.He will review oncology data, showing tips and tricks on how to successfully utilize the application to analyze lesions and obtain the clinical results desired.

Spectral imaging is a promising technique for patients with renal impairment, utilizing lower contrast amount without compromising image evaluation.

Traumatic Cardiac Arrest is the most urgent, time-critical, life-threatening trauma situation Emergency Medical Service personnel can face. The understanding and management of this condition has progressed significantly in the last few years. In this exciting, topical webinar, Prof Richard Lyon will present the epidemiology and pathology of TCA; describe the ‘HOT’ algorithm of pre-hospital interventions; how to maximize chance of survival and address some key issues such as whether chest compressions should be performed in TCA.

Delivery method: This is an online, self-paced course. 

Duration: This course requires approximately 77 minutes to complete.

Join our webinar for an exciting journey of clinical education to learn about the new developments in improving CPR and a comprehensive review of the new evidence and research around CPR today.

CPR remains a widely researched topic in resuscitation studies and in recent years, there had been introduction of new technology, techniques and solutions to improve the efficacy of CPR. In this webinar, Dr Abella will provide his unabridged clinical opinion on these new developments in CPR and provide his assessment of the new evidence and the relevance to the upcoming AHA guidelines publication.

The webinar will cover the following topics:

• Review of the fundamentals of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
• Review of the latest technology and techniques and the clinical efficacy in improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation
• Overview recent scientific research in the current pandemic in that are clinically significant to cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Delivery method: This is an online, self-paced course.

Mobility during childbirth for all women: a beltless fetal monitoring solution

Join us for the webinar where our guest speakers will present finds from a survey of over 200 Australian and New Zealand maternity units, regarding their use of continuous fetal monitoring devices that enable freedom of movement for women.

This webinar will encourage participants to reflect on the way they interact with technology in modern maternity care and to consider whether their own clinical practice optimize women's innate physiological processes.

Participants will hear about the findings of a clinical feasibility study of new beltless and wireless fetal monitoring used by over 100 women in labour at the Royal Hospital for Women, Randwick, NSW. The outcomes associated with use of the beltless monitoring device and the views and experiences of women, midwives and obstetricians who used the device will be described.
