Philips Unveils AI-Powered Verida CT at RSNA 2025: A Game-Changer in Spectral Imaging
  • Regulatory and market milestones over the next 6 to 18 months include pursuing U.S. 510(k) clearance, generating independent clinical performance data, and reporting early throughput in routine practice.

  • Clinically, Verida could reduce invasive procedures and boost diagnostic confidence, with adoption hinging on real-world validation and regulatory clearance.

  • Notes clarify that energy savings exclude system preparation energy and that regulatory clearance status will govern use in different regions.

  • Clinical endorsements, including from Prof. Eliseo Vaño Galván, suggest spectral imaging could become routine in cardiac CT and potentially reduce invasive angiograms, with broader applicability elsewhere.

  • A cardiovascular radiologist highlighted that spectral imaging may become standard in cardiac CT, improving diagnostic confidence and reducing invasive angiography across multiple areas.

  • Testimonials, including from Prof. Vaño Galván, praise Verida for diagnostic confidence gains in cardiac imaging while noting photon-counting CT remains more research-focused.

  • Regulatory status: CE-marked; 510(k) pending in the U.S.; not yet sold in the U.S., with limited market availability expected to begin in 2026.

  • Verida builds on Philips’ spectral CT legacy—CE-marked with 510(k) pending in the U.S.—and follows more than 800 peer-reviewed papers and installations.

  • Technical performance includes up to 145 images per second and whole-exam times under 30 seconds, enabling as many as 270 exams per day in high-throughput settings.

  • AI integration across the imaging chain yields lower noise, higher image quality, and faster exams, with spectral imaging enabling material differentiation beyond conventional CT.

  • Verida is Philips’ detector-based spectral CT powered by AI, unveiled at RSNA 2025, designed to transform CT imaging by optimizing acquisition, reconstruction, and workflow while reducing dose.

  • The system aims to streamline radiology workflows, cut repeat scans, standardize spectral imaging across care pathways, and could cut energy use by up to 45%.

  • Philips positions Verida as a software-defined CT solution that prioritizes workflow efficiency, image sharpness, and consistency across care pathways.

  • Hardware combines a third-generation Nano-panel dual-layer detector with Spectral Precise Image AI reconstruction and AI-driven noise reduction to deliver fast, dose-efficient spectral reconstructions.

  • The system uses Philips’ dual-layer spectral detector plus AI reconstruction to provide spectral outputs from a single scan, harnessing Spectral Precise Image technology for noise reduction.

  • Philips executives frame Verida as a new standard for image quality and speed, aimed at streamlining radiology workflows and improving outcomes, especially in cardiac imaging.
