Complete Diagnostic Experience: Anytime, Anywhere Access
The launch of Philips Image Management 15 directly addresses one of healthcare’s most persistent challenges: lost clinical time caused by slow performance and the complexity of remote reading.
The new web diagnostic viewer is a critical advancement because it eliminates the need for any local installation—delivering a high-performance diagnostic experience securely through any web browser.
Key advantages include:
- Seamless Performance: Optimized server-side rendering ensures smooth performance, even with large, complex datasets such as digital breast tomosynthesis or cardiac CT.
- Workflow Integration: Natively connects to interactive reporting and connected AI tools, eliminating the need for separate dictation or reporting systems.
Pieter Hoste, Chief Radiologist at AZ West Hospital, validated the improvement: “It loads studies quickly and runs smoothly, even with large datasets. The new interface is intuitive and lets us focus entirely on the images, a real step forward in performance and usability”.
Cloud-Enabled Deployment for IT Simplification
The new viewer is engineered for scalability and simplified IT management across the enterprise. The solution is built for cloud deployment through Philips HealthSuite, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), and is offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution with built-in security.
Madhuri Sebastian, Business Leader Imaging Informatics at Philips, highlighted the strategic value: “The web diagnostic viewer is a milestone in our journey toward cloud-enabled, AI-integrated diagnostic imaging. It brings the power of advanced visualization, collaboration, and intelligence to any browser, helping radiologists stay connected and productive wherever care happens while streamlining IT operations”.
Availability
The viewer is currently available in the USA, with expansion to additional regions planned for 2026.
