AMSTERDAM and CHICAGO, Nov. 27,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX:
PHIA) today announced the introduction of Illumeo, a new imaging
and informatics technology with adaptive intelligence* that
redefines and enhances how radiologists work with medical images.
The intelligent software is the first to combine contextual
awareness capabilities with advanced data analytics to augment the
work of the radiologist. Its built-in intelligence records the
radiologists' preferences and adapts the user interface to assists
the clinician by offering tool sets and measurements driven by the
understanding of the clinical context. Illumeo aims to enable
faster diagnoses, to drive well-informed care decisions and
improved patient care. The new technology integrates with existing
systems such as Philips IntelliSpace PACS and will eventually
extend its workspace efficiency beyond radiology to other
domains.
One single view for most relevant case-related
information
The new Illumeo technology offers a radically new approach to
how radiologists will see, seek and share clinical information,
enabling them to provide an even more critical contribution to
patient care. Through its Data Analytics Engine, the software
provides the radiologist with the most relevant case-related
information from various sources in one single view. This holistic
'Patient Briefing' includes the patient problem list**, laboratory
results, prior radiology reports, imaging orders or scanned
documents (such as handwritten referral letters from GPs and
referring specialists) obtained from health information systems
like the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or Radiology Information
Systems (RIS). It integrates and organizes this data and helps
radiologists to bridge the stages of diagnosis to treatment to
follow-up, while being able to rely on a current, comprehensive
patient picture.
"As the number of patients and complexity of care continues to
increase, the amount of data and information we deal with on a
daily basis is overwhelming," said Dr. Eliot Siegel, Professor of Diagnostic Radiology
for the University of Maryland Medical
Center in Baltimore, USA. "In order to help solve this problem,
having solutions that streamline information and provide context to
what is most relevant to a specific case is critical. This will
provide a more efficient workflow, which is key to enabling
quicker, more confident diagnoses."
Anatomy-aware enables smart images and data
presentation
Illumeo is also anatomy-aware. Built-in intelligence understands
the anatomical context and thus what the radiologist is looking at
on the screen. It then automatically suggests the right tool sets
(such as tools for easy measurement and analysis of vessels) to
help the radiologist focus on the diagnosis***. Its intelligent
clinical Semantic Labelling Engine reads and analyses image tags
and image series descriptions from a variety of vendors and
provides automated semantic labelling with meaningful descriptions.
It will make it easier and faster to retrieve specific relevant
medical images, and manage their display and quantification.
Illumeo is adapting to and remembering radiologists' preferred
hanging protocols: the complex process of organizing and displaying
medical images for optimal examination, based on many variables
such, modality, body part, available comparison images.
With Illumeo, the radiologist can also generate dynamic reports
that can include 3D images or image quantifications based on
minimal user input. This information integrates with PACS and can
be accessed via EMR systems and can be shared as a
multidisciplinary patient information dashboard across the hospital
enterprises to facilitate collaboration. The report is designed to
be shared with colleagues or the referring physicians and supports
the transition of radiology into a 'value-based' care delivery
model.
"Radiologists are central in the diagnosis process, with a
critical role in definitive diagnostics and improvement of patient
care," said Jeroen Tas, CEO, Connected Care and Health Informatics,
Philips. "By supporting clinicians with adaptive intelligence and
providing health IT solutions to foster collaboration between
multidisciplinary care teams, we aim to extend the power of their
clinical expertise."
Illumeo with adaptive intelligence's main highlights
include:
- Contextual relevance - provides the radiologist with
meaningful patient data via the 'Patient briefing' and is
anatomy-aware, to suggest the right tools based on what the user is
looking at.
- Adaptive intelligence - allows for an intelligent,
tailored user experience and workflow. It achieves this by
recording and reproducing the user's hanging protocols in a
consistent manner.
- Reduced variability – incorporates guidelines built into
the system to remind radiologists of best practices and ultimately
assist in standardizing care throughout the institution.
- Extensibility - integrates easily within existing
systems by leveraging the latest interoperability standards (such
as HL7 FHIR, DICOM RESTful web service, etc.), in order to present
relevant patient data. It is scalable—meaning the platform will
grow with an institution as it evolves.
The new technology will be showcased at booth # 6735 at the RSNA
Annual Meeting, taking place Nov. 27
– Dec. 2, in Chicago, Ill. For more information on Philips
