Clinical enhancements
Continuous CT (CCT)*
This application provides visual guidance for interventional procedures
using a foot pedal and a remote monitor. Exposures, taken once per
rotation in either single or continuous mode, are limited to a 240 degree
axial centered beneath the patient to shield the clinician's hands from
direct X-ray exposure.
Bolus Tracking
An automated injection planning technique to monitor actual contrast
enhancement and initiate scanning at a predetermined level.
Spiral Auto Start (SAS)
Spiral Auto Start integrates the injector with the scanner, allowing the
technologist to monitor the contrast injection and to start and stop the
scan (with the predetermined delay) while in the scan room.
Rate Responsive CV Toolkit*
Enables cardiac imaging and includes an ECG monitor, Retrospective
Tagging, Prospective Gating, the Cardiac Viewer, Heartbeat-CS and CT
Reporting. Uses the Philips Adaptive Multicycle Reconstruction to
optimize the temporal resolution.
Step & Shoot Cardiac*
Enables low dose, high quality cardiac CT imaging. This axial prospective
ECG-gated acquisition technique achieves full heart coverage with
sub-millimeter, isotropic resolution within a short breath-hold. Includes
automatic arrhythmia detection and handling.
Heartbeat CS Pro*
Includes ECG Prospective Gating. The scanner automatically triggers
axial multislice scan acquisitions using an ECG signal. Philips patented
Beat-to-Beat Variable Delay Algorithm enables accurate and reproducible
calcium scoring studies.
CT Fluoroscopy Package*
This application provides near real-time guidance for interventional
procedures (up to 8 fps) using a foot pedal and a remote monitor. The
Fluoro mode is particularly useful in complicated procedures involving
breathing and abdomen motion.
Jog Scan*
Jog Scan provides up to 80mm of imaging area for perfusion studies. The
scanner acquires two 40mm volumes of interest by translating the couch
back and forth doubling the standard perfusion coverage.
Pulmonary Toolkit*
Pulmonary Toolkit enables the user to trigger a scan at a particular breath
level (axial and/or spiral prospective gating), minimizing artifacts caused
by respiratory motion. This allows better chest imaging of patients who
cannot hold their breath.
Pulmonary Toolkit Oncology*
Pulmonary Toolkit Oncology includes the Pulmonary Toolkit features
plus Retrospective Spiral (4D CT). This feature results in the ability to
generate multiple phases allowing for visualization of motion during the
respiratory cycle and delineating a target volume.

Networking
The Brilliance CT supports 10/100/1000 Mbps (10/100/1000BaseT)
network speeds. For optimal performance, Philips recommends
a minimum of 100Mbps network speed (1Gbps preferred) and
for the CT network to be segmented from the rest of the
hospital network.
Archiving
The full implementation of the DICOM 3.0 communications protocol in
the Brilliance Workspace allows connectivity to DICOM 3.0 compliant
scanners, workstations, and printers; supports IHE requirements for
DICOM Connectivity.

DICOM CD Writer
A DICOM CD Writer option stores DICOM images and associated
image viewing software on very low cost CD media. Images on these
CDs can be viewed and manipulated on PCs meeting the minimum
specifications. Ideally suited for individual result storage and referring
physician support.
Filming
This function allows the user to set up and store filming parameters.
Pre-stored protocols can be set to include auto-filming. The operator
can film immediately after each image, at the end of a series, or film
after the end of a study and review images before printing. The operator
can also automatically film the study at three different windows and
incorporate Combine Images functionality to manage large datasets.
Basic monochrome and color DICOM print capability are supported.
