Philips Korea announced a partnership with Hankook General Hospital on Monday. Philips will provide its products and solutions to collaborate with Hankook General Hospital on clinical research and care.

Through this partnership, the two organizations will contribute to the development of healthcare in Korea and improve public health, collaborating in various areas including medical information and academic exchange, medical equipment and clinical support, and MRI and CT care.

Hankook General Hospital will utilize Philips' MRI equipment, ElitionX 3.0T, and Incisive CT, to provide quality healthcare services to patients and conduct medical technology research with Philips.

The Philips’ ElitionX 3.0T introduced by Hankook General Hospital is equipped with Compressed SENSE, Philips' unique MRI time reduction technology. Utilizing a data balancing algorithm, it selects data and reduces noise, allowing for faster MRI examinations without compromising high-resolution image quality.

Philips’ Incisive CT can generate 128 cross-sectional images in a single rotation and is equipped with precise image technology. This AI-based image technique can reconstruct CT images according to the characteristics of each imaging site and organ.

"We are pleased to collaborate with Philips, a leading company in the field of radiology," said Song Jae-seung, Director of Hankook General Hospital. "We hope that this agreement will greatly enhance our ability to perform precision examinations and diagnostics and contribute to the community's health."

Philips Korea CEO Park Jae-in said the company was pleased to continue its longstanding partnership with Hankook General Hospital in the MRI and CT field.

"We will actively utilize our imaging diagnostic technology and experience to contribute to the treatment and research of critical care at Hankook General Hospital," Park said.
