technology to assist radiology/ultrasound departments facing more patients with fewer resources in the delivery of high quality patient care. Affiniti, which is based on the same architecture as Philips' ground breaking EPIQ ultrasound, fulfills the needs of physicians who face the are challenge of treating large numbers of patients on any given day.
CEO and Senior Vice President of Ultrasound for Philips Imaging Systems, Vitor Rocha, said : "Affiniti was designed with the everyday challenges of healthcare professionals in mind. We have leveraged more than 45 years of ultrasound innovation to deliver a reliable system that combines the excellent image quality our customers expect for fast, confident diagnosis, with advanced tools to help them improve efficiency and workflow and allow for the very best standard of care."
Cardiologist at the Cardiovascular Center Aalst, OLV Clinic, Aalst, Belgium, Dr. Martin Penicka, added : "With our high patient volume, cost pressures and throughput demands, my department/clinic/facility needs a system that offers high performance, a range of configuration options and low total cost of ownership while still offering superior image quality. Philips Affiniti enables us to get to the level of detail we need to best serve our patients and enable our clinicians to keep up with increasing demand."
