 The new reality in MR
Enjoy helium-free MR operations that support
speed, comfort and clinical confidence
Every day, healthcare moves forward with new clinical pathways, innovations and supporting technologies.
In radiology, meeting the need for high productivity, an improved patient experience while ensuring
excellence in imaging can be daunting. The perception is often that MR represents a trade-off
between productivity and image quality. The new Philips Ingenia Ambition offers cutting-edge MR imaging
techniques to help you excel clinically every day. Based on its new, revolutionary fully sealed BlueSeal
magnet, the solution lets you experience more productive1 helium-free MR operations.

The Ingenia Ambition delivers superb image quality even for challenging patients, and performs MRI exams
up to 50% faster with Compressed SENSE acceleration for all anatomies in both 2D- and 3D scanning2.
Fast overall exam-time is achieved by simplifying patient handling at the bore with the touchless guided
patient setup. Furthermore, the Ingenia Ambition offers an immersive audio-visual experience to calm
patients and guide them through MR exams. In a study conducted using our in-bore solution,
Herlev Gentofte University Hospital in Denmark managed to reduce the number of rescans by up to 70%3,
allowing radiologists to review more patients per day.

 Transition your department
towards more productive
helium-free MR operations1

Built around the unique, fully sealed BlueSeal magnet, the Ingenia Ambition is designed to simplify
your MR installation, reduce lengthy and costly disruptions in your MR services, and help your department
transition to productive helium-free operations. Based on a decade of innovation, this revolutionary magnet
operates with only seven liters of liquid helium and is fully sealed – freeing up your mind and operations
from potential helium complications.

With BlueSeal magnet, Philips aims to help MR facilities overcome potential helium-related issues of classic
magnet design and eliminate radiology department’s dependency on scarce helium supply. What’s more,
the system can achieve hours of continuous high-performance scanning and offers a leading field-of-view
of 55cm for a wide bore 1.5T system.

 Forget about helium Designed to facilitate low siting and other construction costs
In contrast to classic magnet technology, which requires around BlueSeal magnet is designed as a solution, which could dramatically reduce installation costs. On a classic
1500 liters of liquid helium for cooling during operation, Philips magnet, long vent pipes must be installed to meet safety requirements and direct helium to an outside
BlueSeal uses an highly efficient, new micro-cooling technology vent in case of a magnet quench. Because no helium can escape1 due to the magnet being sealed, BlueSeal
which requires only a negligible amount (<0.5% of today’s volume1) does not need a vent pipe, significantly reducing construction costs. Philips BlueSeal is also lightweight with a

sealed, enclosing the precious gas for the rest of its life. Due to the
magnet being sealed, no helium can escape2, either suddenly during
a loss of helium or gradually. This reduces long interruptions to MR Classic magnet BlueSeal magnet
services that can result from helium issues. Moreover, it means that
the magnet does not have to be refilled with liquid helium during
its lifetime.

 Toward uninterrupted MR operations
With classic MR systems, irrespective of the extreme caution exercised by all MR users, if a metallic
item becomes stuck in the magnet1 requiring a voluntary quench or if the magnet undergoes a sudden
involuntary loss of field, this can disrupt a facility’s MR services for weeks causing massive revenue loss.

The BlueSeal magnet takes the next step toward uninterrupted, more productive2 daily MR operations.
Relying on unique digital controllers and 24/7 e-Alerts connectivity3, Philips BlueSeal qualifies as the first
magnet driven by adaptive intelligence to support a set of unique service functionalities called EasySwitch.

The EasySwitch solutions aim to minimize unexpected downtime in case of MR operational issue.
The BlueSeal’s magnetic field can for instance be easily turned off from the console if an item becomes
stuck in the bore. Once the problem is resolved, a Philips engineer4 can initiate an automated re-energize
and bring the magnet back to field, minimizing operational downtime.

The magnet is also equipped with both a water-cooled compressor and an air-cooled compressor.
The air-cooled compressor is used as a back-up when there is no cold water supply. The BlueSeal magnet’s
adaptive intelligence will switch to the air-cooled compressor and switch back again when the cooling water
provision is restored.

High-performance by design
BlueSeal magnet would not be such a game-changer if it only revolutionized MR operations. In parallel,
Philips placed a great deal of emphasis on creating a magnet design that delivers exceptional clinical
performance. Thanks to highly efficient cooling properties from its micro-cooling system, Ingenia Ambition
can achieve hours of high-performance scanning with zero homogeneity change.
Ingenia Ambition X

Furthermore, the magnet offers a leading homogeneous field-of-view of 55cm and highly linear gradients.
The results? A wealth of new clinical capabilities that help you answer the most challenging demands
and become the preferred partner within your referral network.

 Accelerate exams by up to 50%
Leveraging our long-standing leadership in scanning speed (i.e. SENSE), Philips now presents a
breakthrough in productivity: Compressed SENSE accelerates 2D- and 3D scans by up to 50% with virtually
equivalent image quality1. As a result, Ingenia Ambition does not only accelerates sequences, but the entire
patient exam. You can now consider adding patient slots to your daily schedule, and your staff has more
time to focus on what matters most: enhancing patient care. This new paradigm in productivity applies
to all anatomies and anatomical contrasts in both 3D and 2D scans. It’s speed done right, every time.

Our goal is to reduce scan time, but we want the

same image quality as before„

 Patient setup in under one minute1
VitalScreen offers guidance and insights on the details
of the current patient study. This 12-inch interactive
touchscreen provides information on exam duration,
which coil to use, patient positioning, physiology signal
captors (VCG) and – if applicable – contrast usage
and breathhold guidance.

Moreover, the operator no longer needs to set up

an old-fashioned respiratory belt, but receives
a continuous and robust respiratory signal without
any interaction via VitalEye. This revolution in patient
sensing helps you to keep a caring eye on
your patient and provides superior image quality2,
for a broad range of patient sizes, thanks to touchless
patient sensing. The quality of the physiology signal
is better than with a belt-based approach thanks to
automatic detection of breathing.

 Designed for single-operator workflow, with a smart touch
Running an efficient MR department means constant multi-tasking by the technologists. To organize
the schedule and provide excellent patient care, technologists must do a whole lot more than ‘just’
scanning. For instance, they have to juggle positioning the current patient, debriefing the previous patient
and instructing the next patient. And they need to prepare contrast, refill supplies, perform administrative
tasks, consult with the radiologist, and much more besides.

The Ingenia Ambition is designed to make system operation by a single person more time efficient1,
reducing superfluous activities and allowing the operator to focus where it matters. From the moment
your patient is set up through to the time the images are ready for reading, the Ingenia Ambition offers
the opportunity to run your examinations in one smart touch. With the new VitalScreen, you can easily
adjust your imaging strategies and start your exam from the patient side with a single touch. When you close
the door of the exam room, Ingenia Ambition starts to scan instantaneously using SmartStart.
From there, SmartExam2 adaptive intelligence is planning and running the ExamCard protocol
in the background. Finally, SmartLine automatically post-processes your images and transfers them
to the PACS, ready-for-reading. This is how simple an exam can be on Ingenia Ambition.

 Standardization and efficiency across your MR fleet
As the number of MRI systems in radiology departments is increasing,
you need a range of different tools to reduce waste, enhance efficiency
and experience the economies of scale you expect. PerformanceBridge
Protocol Manager1 lets you manage ExamCard protocols and distribute
them to all the MRI systems in the fleet. Part of the PerformanceBridge fleet
of solutions, this breakthrough in protocol management leverages a wealth
of utilization data, drill-down functionalities, and PerformanceBridge Advisor
to drive meaningful performance improvements.

In today’s imaging departments, patient scheduling can also become complex

and lead to inefficiencies as clinical capabilities vary from system to system.
The MR AppLicense solutions1 standardize and simplify the availability
of software applications so they can be shared and managed across the fleet.

Say yes to patients with MR conditional implants
Patients with MR conditional implants are often denied MRI exams. This is because it is not always easy
for clinicians to implement the implant limits on the MR scanner. This can reduce diagnostic options
for this growing population of patients and cut off a stream of potential referrals to your institution.
To simplify your scanning process for patients with MR conditional implants, ScanWise Implant2 software
provides step-by-step guidance to enter the condition values of the implant manufacturer. Your MR system
then automatically applies these values for the entire examination. ScanWise Implant2 empowers you
