Phillips X SimonMed Imaging: The New 3T MR Scanner

SimonMed Imaging, one of the largest outpatient imaging centers in the US, has recently announced their strategic partnership with Phillips to bring the 3T MR to its imaging centers across the country. SimonMed Imaging operates over 150 accredited and ACR-RADSITE certified facilities across 9 states with over 200 specialty-trained radiologists.

“This collaboration with Philips focuses on going beyond routine 3T MR imaging to deploy the most advanced technology, often only available to an academic center, in accessible and affordable outpatient practice to greatly enhance diagnoses from early post-traumatic brain injuries to the most subtle orthopedic injuries,”
- Dr. John Simon, CEO of SimonMed Imaging

The Phillips Ingenia Elition 3T MR received approval from the FDA in 2018, and can scan roughly 50% faster than comparable MR scanners, which allows for access to new diagnostic techniques. For example, the evaluation of brain trauma through the mapping of white matter, which supports confident diagnosis in challenging clinical conditions.

“It’s attempting to respond to the dynamics of the health care system on a global basis … today our problems are that imaging has gotten much more sophisticated, the staff is overworked and there are not more radiologists, yet we have more information.”
- Rob Cascella, Executive VP of Diagnosis and Treatment at Philips
