    Confidently scan patients with MR Conditional implants

    To simplify your scanning process for patients with MR Conditional implants, Philips MR ScanWise Implant (MROC) 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. Philips MR ScanWise Implant empowers you to serve this growing patient population with confidence and can help you to enhance your reputation and increase your referrals.

      ScanWise Implant automatically adjusts the scan parameters for all scans and pre-scans.

    Easy set-up of scanning parameters
    MR ScanWise Implant helps to reduce guesswork and additional user calculations by guiding the user through simple steps to enter the MR Conditional parameters as specified by the implant manufacturer. You don’t need to do any calculations or repeatedly add or check information for every sequence of your exam.
    Easy set-up of scanning parameters for scanning patients with MR Conditional implants
    Set parameters for all scans only once
    With MR ScanWise Implant you enter the parameter values of the Conditional implant only once for the whole exam, rather than scan by scan. It automatically adjusts the scan parameters for all scans and pre-scans.
    Set parameters for all scans only once
    Enter limits in three minutes or less
    MR ScanWise Implant promotes efficiency. With the help of the guided user interface the implant conditions can be entered in three minutes or less.
    Enter limits for MR Conditional implants in 3 minutes or less


    MR Workspace
    MR Workspace is the MR console designed to support efficiency and staff satisfaction in the control room through integrated AI assistance, task guidance and automation. It helps technologists to manage their workload and keep the daily schedule under control while maintaining focus on the patient. It provides guided and automated workflow and includes step-by-step coaching towards AV analysis. 80% of examination planning is fully automated and results are sent to PACS in 30% less time12.

    • ScanWise Implant is compliant with the IEC guideline for scanning patients with MR Conditional implants.
      Compliant with IEC guideline
      IEC 60601-2-33 (2022) requires MROC (Magnetic Resonance Output Conditioning) for scanning patients with MR Conditional implants. Philips ScanWise Implant complies with the IEC guideline.
    Frequently asked questions

    Treatment of many chronic conditions involves the placement of implants or use of body-worn treatment-delivery devices. Millions of patients benefit from passive implants, active implants or devices. For numerous medical conditions, MRI is the modality of choice4-8 recommended by consensus guidelines for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Current medical practice, however, excludes patients with an implant from access to MRI, based on serious and valid safety concerns. This “clash of technologies”9 results in unnecessary health inequalities for a rapidly growing group of patients.

    Implants must be strong for MSK applications or flexible, for instance when used as stents, and biocompatible. Active implants must sense or stimulate electrophysiological signals from the heart or the central nervous system.10 Their microcontrollers and electronics must be protected against electromagnetic interferences in everyday life. All these requirements suggest the use of metallic structures, which can be problematic when brought near or inside an MRI system. The strong electromagnetic fields required for MRI far exceed the electromagnetic fields encountered in urban environments.

    Scanning patients with implants requires having significant additional organizational measures in place at the hospital. Retrieval and interpretation of MR Conditional implant labeling must be organized in a multidisciplinary team. Cross-industry harmonization and standardization efforts by IEC and ISO14 and FDA guidance11 have improved the availability of information to support the clinical decision to scan in compliance with MR Conditional labeling. Users should understand the possible interactions between implants and the MRI system and should be able to identify related safety concerns.
