Celebrating go-live day with the RNSH Medical Imaging Interventional team, Philips support and project team, and RNSH General Manager Alison Zecchin and Director of Medical Services Dr Daryl-Anne Elias.
RNSH leads the way with latest imaging technology Royal North Shore Hospital has made a significant leap in interventional technology that provides clearer images and enables more precsise care to the patient. The hospital is the first in Australia to install and fully implement the Philips Azurion 7 biplane angiography system – Release 3. RNSH Medical Imaging Operations Manager Emily Hodgins said the benefits of the latest release were already being felt. “The improved efficiency, image clarity, and added features are enabling our team to deliver more precise, timely care,” she said. This technology introduces enhanced imaging resolution, faster processing, and intuitive workflow tools that help reduce procedure times, lower radiation exposure, and support decision-making during complex procedures. “The new system supports a wide range of procedures, including Portacath insertions for long- term medication access, transarterial chemoembolisation for liver cancer treatment, adrenal vein sampling to investigate causes of hypertension, and life-saving arterial embolisations to control internal bleeding,” Emily said. “This technology supports our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in patient outcomes.” As an early adopter of Release 3, RNSH will serve as a reference site for other hospitals exploring similar upgrades, reinforcing its leadership in advanced imaging and clinical innovation.
