With growing demand for CT studies, KMC Manipal needed to reduce diagnostic turnaround time and manual workflow bottlenecks in patient positioning, brain-scan batching, image quality, and dose management while maintaining high-quality patient care.
Reported impact
KMC Manipal increased daily CT throughput, reduced manual time and staff overtime, improved image quality and diagnostic confidence, lowered radiation dose, and delivered images and reports to clinicians more quickly.
KMC Manipal deployed Philips CT Smart Workflow across its CT exam process as an operational layer spanning acquisition, reconstruction, and review. At the ingest stage, Precise Position uses an AI-enabled camera at the scanner to automate patient positioning and improve centering consistency, reducing manual handling by staff and students. During processing, Precise Image applies deep-learning-based reconstruction to reduce image noise at low dose and improve low-contrast detectability, while Precise Brain automates batching of brain scans for faster trauma workflows and Precise Cardiac corrects motion artifacts in cardiac studies at high heart rates. The resulting images are delivered more quickly to radiologists and then to referring clinicians as reports. Philips supported rollout with an on-site innovation manager and clinical scientist, and KMC Manipal helped clinically validate the workflow in routine practice and research.
Patients are positioned for CT acquisition using Precise Position's AI-enabled camera, then the acquired scan data is processed by Precise Image for deep-learning reconstruction and, where relevant, by Precise Brain for brain-scan batching or Precise Cardiac for motion correction. The resulting images and faster reports are delivered to KMC Manipal radiologists and referring clinicians for diagnosis and patient care.
"Now we scan 90-100 patients a day, with less overtime from staff."
"Precise Image, an AI-based reconstruction technique that uses the power of a deep-learning neural network for improved clinical confidence."
"Precise Position automates patient positioning through an AI-enabled camera designed to increase positioning accuracy and user-to-user consistency."
"This can easily save us 1-2 minutes per case"
"Using the power of AI, CT Smart Workflow provides the radiology department at KMC Manipal a comprehensive suite of applications to optimize CT workflows at every step."
"We can save up to 20 ml of contrast per angio scan."
"automatic batching of brain scans using Precise Brain, which has saved up to 5 minutes per scan."
