Philips Brilliance 16 (2009)

Small structures clearly defined, with spatial resolution reaching 24 lp/cm.

Spatial resolution in CT is set by how densely the projection data is sampled. Dynamic Focal Spot deflects the electron beam rapidly during the sweep, doubling the sampling rate and taking the ultra-high resolution mode to 24 line pairs per centimetre. Listed on Medigear.uk for UK business buyers.

Resolution in computed tomography is limited by sampling. A detector row of a given width can only resolve detail as fine as the density of measurements taken across the projection, and adding physical detector elements is not the only route to that density.

Dynamic Focal Spot takes the other route. The focal spot on the anode is deflected rapidly during the rotation, so each detector channel receives measurements from two slightly offset positions within the same sweep. The sampling rate effectively doubles, and the ultra-high resolution mode reaches 24 line pairs per centimetre, which is what defines small structures within the reconstruction. Tach Technology, a Philips application-specific integrated circuit, handles signal conversion within the detector path.

Acquisition is flexible across the sixteen channels. Slice modes cover 16 × 0.75 mm and 16 × 1.5 mm for thin-slice coverage, with 8 × 3 mm, 4 × 4.5 mm and 2 × 0.6 mm available, and minimum slice thickness reaches 0.6 mm. Spiral slice widths run from 0.65 to 7.5 mm and axial from 0.6 to 12 mm. Scan range extends to 175 cm, the scan field of view spans 25 to 50 cm and reconstruction from 5 to 50 cm, with an extended reconstruction field to 65 cm available as an option.

Rotation time is 0.5 seconds with 0.4 seconds available, and temporal resolution reaches as low as 53 milliseconds, which is what brings motion-sensitive work within range. Reconstruction runs at 6 images per second on RapidView 6, with RapidView 20 raising that to 20 images per second where fitted. Maximum continuous scan time is 100 seconds.

The tube and generator define the scanner's ceiling. A 5.0 MHU tube with a 48 kW generator supports routine work along with CT colonography, CT angiography and pulmonary imaging. An 8.0 MHU MRC tube with a 60 kW generator raises throughput and extends the system into advanced applications and bariatric imaging, with anode rotation at 105 Hz and oil-to-air cooling. Voltage runs at 90, 120 and 140 kVp with tube current from 20 to 500 mA in 1 mA steps.

Dose management runs under DoseWise, which brings together automatic current selection with angular and longitudinal modulation, so exposure follows patient attenuation through the rotation and along the scan. Adaptive filtration and low signal correction work on the reconstruction side.

Cardiac work is supported by Rate Responsive technology where fitted, covering calcium scoring with both retrospective and prospective gating. Spiral Auto Start allows a contrast injection to be monitored and the scan initiated and stopped from the console, and multilingual AutoVoice delivers patient instructions before, during and after the examination. The Brilliance Workspace console carries multiplanar reformatting, maximum intensity projection, three-dimensional and volume rendering according to the applications licensed, and the system is DICOM 3.0 compliant for archive and networking.

The patient table takes 204 kg as standard, extending to 295 kg where bariatric support is fitted.

Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist, and exposure decisions with the operator and the employer's dose framework. The tube and generator configuration, tube condition and slice count, software version, licensed applications and service history are provided by the seller at quotation, with CE marking documentation, the declaration of conformity, a decontamination certificate and warranty terms issued by the manufacturer or held by the seller.

Routine head, chest, abdominal and musculoskeletal computed tomography is covered across both tube configurations, with slice modes selected to the study and reconstruction available from 5 cm upwards.

Emergency and trauma imaging is supported by a scan range extending to 175 cm and subsecond rotation, so a whole-body survey is acquired quickly on an uncooperative patient.

CT angiography is supported by thin-slice acquisition at 16 × 0.75 mm and by Spiral Auto Start, which allows a contrast injection to be monitored and the scan initiated from the console.

Pulmonary imaging benefits from short breath-hold acquisitions across sixteen channels, with temporal resolution reaching as low as 53 milliseconds for motion-sensitive work.

CT colonography is supported on both configurations, with the Brilliance Workspace carrying three-dimensional and volume rendering according to the applications licensed.

Cardiac calcium scoring is available where Rate Responsive technology is fitted, with both retrospective and prospective gating supported.

Bariatric imaging is supported on the 8.0 MHU and 60 kW configuration with the extended field of view and bariatric table support, taking table load to 295 kg.

Sampling Density Raised at the Source

Dynamic Focal Spot deflects the electron beam during the rotation so each channel samples from two offset positions, doubling the sampling rate within the same sweep.

Small Structures Clearly Resolved

The ultra-high resolution mode reaches 24 line pairs per centimetre, which is what defines fine detail in the reconstruction.

Thin Slices Across Sixteen Channels

Images at the Console Quickly

Reconstruction runs at 6 images per second, rising to 20 where RapidView 20 is fitted, so waiting time at the console is short.

Exposure Following the Patient

DoseWise brings automatic current selection together with angular and longitudinal modulation, so dose follows attenuation through the rotation and along the scan.

Heat Capacity for Long Acquisitions

The MRC tube provides the heat capacity that sustains longer scan times and thin-slice imaging, with continuous scanning to 100 seconds.

Contrast Timed From the Console

Spiral Auto Start allows an injection to be monitored and the scan started and stopped without leaving the console.

The case for the Philips Brilliance 16 rests on how densely it samples. Resolution in computed tomography is limited by the density of measurements taken across the projection, and Dynamic Focal Spot addresses that by deflecting the focal spot during the rotation so each detector channel samples from two offset positions in the same sweep, doubling the sampling rate and taking the ultra-high resolution mode to 24 line pairs per centimetre. Around that sits a sixteen-channel scanner built for a general list: slice modes from 16 × 0.75 mm down to a 0.6 mm minimum thickness, rotation at 0.5 seconds with 0.4 available, temporal resolution as low as 53 milliseconds, a scan range to 175 cm, reconstruction at 6 or 20 images per second, and DoseWise bringing automatic current selection together with angular and longitudinal modulation. The tube and generator configuration sets the ceiling, and tube condition and slice count set the working life remaining, both provided by the seller at quotation. Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist. Medigear.uk lists the scanner for UK business buyers and can arrange a site survey, delivery, installation, staff familiarisation, service cover and the supply of spares and consumables.
