Philips is helping drive access to care by repurposing its used medical equipment, donating clinically viable systems for another lifecycle in underserved communities. Earlier in 2019, Philips announced a partnership with MedShare, as part of which the company provides application training, service and remote monitoring, ensuring its equipment is part of a sustainable solution in medically underserved areas.

At RSNA 2019 the company will also highlight its breakthrough Ingenia Ambition 1.5T MR system, which includes the industry's first fully sealed magnet for more productive, helium-free operations. The fully-sealed magnet dramatically reduces the amount of liquid helium - a limited natural resource - needed to cool the magnet to less than half a percent of the current norm [1].

More information about Philips' sustainability initiatives can be found here. Philips will demonstrate its integrated portfolio of imaging solutions at RSNA 2019 in booth #6730.
