Royal Philips has unveiled Rembra, its next-generation radiology CT system designed for the realities of acute and high-demand imaging.

Healthcare systems are under mounting pressure as rising patient volumes, complex cases, and workforce shortages push imaging departments to the brink. Philips says Rembra is engineered to meet these challenges head-on, combining advanced detector technology, ultra-fast scan and reconstruction speeds, and streamlined workflows in a system designed for speed, consistency, and long-term value.

“Rembra is built for the realities that clinicians face every day,” said Dan Xu, Business Leader for Computed Tomography at Philips. “By combining our most advanced detector technology with AI-powered workflows and industry-leading speed, Rembra represents a significant step forward for high-acuity imaging, delivering speed, access and diagnostic confidence when it matters most.”

Delays in image reconstruction in emergency, trauma, and high-demand settings can slow diagnoses and impact outcomes. Rembra tackles this problem with a record-breaking reconstruction speed of up to 106 images per second, enabling rapid access to images in stroke, trauma, and other urgent cases. Philips says this capability supports smoother workflows and faster clinical decision-making in busy emergency departments.

Designed for intense clinical environments, Rembra can handle up to 270 exams per day, helping imaging departments manage growing patient volumes without compromising speed or confidence.

The system also boasts the largest-in-class 85 cm bore to enhance patient access and positioning, improving comfort for trauma, bariatric, and interventional cases. Its 60 cm standard field of view (sFOV) and 85 cm extended field of view (eFOV) allow full anatomical visualization in a single scan, while a high-performance patient table offers a scan range of up to 2.3 meters and a gantry-to-tablespace of 46 cm for flexible positioning.

“In interventional and high acuity settings, precise access and efficient positioning are essential,” said Professor Olivier Rouvière, Head of Department at Hospices Civils de Lyon (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lyon). “Rembra’s 85 cm bore supports improved access as well as faster and safer positioning of long needles and instruments in complex procedures.”

Rembra positions Philips at the forefront of high-acuity CT imaging, promising faster diagnoses, improved patient comfort, and enhanced departmental efficiency in a healthcare landscape under unprecedented strain.
