Core delivers an intuitive interface for optimal ease of use as well as guided workflows and uniform controls to simplify training. Convenient measurements and labeling tools are available to document your findings. Core also offers a streamlined workflow with DICOM Worklist for patient data transfer. You can archive your results via DICOM store, DVD, or printout.²,⁴
iFR modality simplifies workflow
iFR modality simplifies workflow

iFR modality simplifies workflow

iFR modality simplifies workflow by providing a hyperemia-free measurement to assess lesion significance in as few as five heartbeats. Philips’ proprietary iFR modality has a robust body of clinical evidence with over 9,000 patients in numerous studies and peer-reviewed journal articles.⁵
IVUS assesses disease
IVUS helps with disease assessment

IVUS helps with disease assessment

IVUS imaging helps physicians assess disease markers, including plaque burden percentage, lesion location and morphology, calcium volume, and the presence of thrombus. It also provides analysis of crucial parameters—like luminal cross-sectional measurements—and helps aid in disease diagnosis.
iFR Scout pullback
iFR Scout pullback

iFR Scout pullback

The iFR Scout pullback shows the most significant gradient in the mid-vessel lesion with diffuse proximal disease.
Fractional Flow Reserve
Fractional Flow Reserve measurement

Fractional Flow Reserve measurement

Various clinical studies demonstrate that physiologic lesion assessment by FFR to guide routine PCI is superior to current angiography guided treatment. This measured ratio represents the potential decrease in coronary flow distal to the coronary stenosis.⁶
Grayscale
Grayscale enhances procedures

Grayscale enhances procedures

Grayscale enhances angiography procedures by enabling detailed views. Angiography produces a shadowgram of contrast, while IVUS visualizes extent and location of plaque, enabling precise disease assessment, vessel, and optimal stent placement. IVUS guidance has been associated with a 74% change in PCI strategy, and reduced MACE, MI, TLR, and death in large studies.⁷,⁸
ChromaFlo
ChromaFlo stent apposition assessment

ChromaFlo stent apposition assessment

ChromaFlo highlights blood flow red for easy assessment of stent apposition, lumen size, and more. Appropriate for peripheral and coronary vessels, including left main, bifurcations, superficial femoral artery and iliac. It is designed to make lumen size and stent apposition instantly recognizable and helps identify branches, dissections, and plaque in bifurcations.
VH IVUS
Real-time lesion assessment in the cath lab

Real-time lesion assessment in the cath lab

VH IVUS Imaging provides a colorized tissue map of plaque composition with automated lumen and vessel measurements. VH IVUS technology uses advanced, proprietary spectral analysis techniques to classify plaque into 4 tissue types with 93-97% accuracy.⁹
