SCAI 2026 Seeing Better, Treating Better: Advancing Patient Outcomes Through Advanced Coronary Imaging-Imaging Technology Update: Enabling Precision and Efficiency

Imaging Technology Update: Enabling Precision and Efficiency

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker reviewed how cath lab imaging has evolved beyond angiography to include intravascular imaging, physiology, and AI-enabled tools that improve diagnosis, efficiency, and safety. He highlighted barriers to adoption such as workflow, staff buy-in, and siloed technologies, not just lack of knowledge. New Philips tools discussed included Smart IQ for better images with less contrast and radiation, Dynamic Coronary Roadmap, SyncVision with integrated physiology and imaging, and AI-based OCT/FFR platforms. The goal is a modern cath lab that uses minimal angiography and more integrated data to improve patient outcomes and protect operators.
