1. Automatically in sync
SyncRight powered by iPatient
The Philips CT SyncRight option available on systems powered by iPatient
provides seamless integration between the injector and scanner, facilitating
the workflow of contrast-enhanced scans including advanced applications
such as CT of the vascular system. This synchronization allows clinicians
to be in control and focus more on the patient now that both scanner
and injector can communicate.
2. So simple
The SyncRight software and hardware option uses a standard communication interface
to allow communication between Philips CT systems and compatible injectors.* Benefits
of this communication include the ability to edit and view scanner and injection parameters
and results using the scanner console. Button clicks are reduced to just a single button
to enable the scan and injector simultaneously.
The SyncRight option simplifies the workflow by allowing SyncRight simplifies operations and enhances
the user to enter data using one system interface. overall consistency by streamlining workflow and
reducing decision points by more than 60%, allowing
more time to focus on patients. With SyncRight,
the scanner and injector are in communication
to display real-time injection status and allow
clinicians to view injection progress, timings, and
planned scan real-time on the scanner console.
Improves efficiency
• A single click pulls injection protocols from
the injector
• Automatically loads injection protocol from
the Exam Card (protocol) to the injector
• Modifies the injection protocol through
the scanner or injector system
• Starts injection and timed scans from
the scanner or injection system
• Allows the injection report to be produced
as part of the exam summary series to be
sent to PACS automatically
SyncRight simplifies operations and enhances overall consistency by streamlining workflow
and reducing decision points by more than 60%, allowing more time to focus on patients.
* Currently available with appropriate Medrad equipment which includes the Stellant Dual Injector system.

3. Clinical consistency
Philips SyncRight also includes Medrad Personalized Patient Protocol Technology platform,
called P3T, that puts automated personalized patient-dosing capability in clinicians’ hands.
Pulmonary Angiography • Cardiac • Abdominal
When P3T is activated at the CT console, the injected volume and injection
rate are automatically adapted to the patient weight. Note that P3T could
be activated by default without any interaction from the technologist.
When comparing the parenchymal enhancement When repeating this measurement on patients
without and with SyncRight over a large range where the volumes and rates of injection have
of patient sizes, we can measure large differences been adapted to the patient’s weights with
without SyncRight. On this example, a patient with SyncRight, we note reduced differences
a BMI of 19 is compared with a patient with a BMI in the parenchymal enhancement: 130 HU
of 45: both were injected 120 cc of Xenetix at 2.5 ml for the smallest patient versus 126 HU for
per second and we measure a splenic enhancement the largest patient.
of 185 HU on the smaller patient versus 100 HU for
the large patient so nearly a factor of 1.9 difference.
