May 27, 2021 — Philips Healthcare released a workhorse computed tomography (CT) system, the Spectral CT 7500, which has regulatory clearance in Europe and from the U.S. FDA. It uses intelligent software to deliver high quality spectral images on every scan 100% of the time without the need for special protocols. Philips said the system aims to improve disease characterization, reduce rescans and follow-ups while using the same dose levels as conventional CT scans.
