believe TSM control of HEMO visualizations improves workflow[2]
A usability study revealed that 85% of users believe the Azurion TSM control of HEMO visualizations and measurements improves workflow.[2] To evaluate benefits of the multi-user capabilities of the new system design and user satisfaction, its novel design was tested by 33 participants.

saved per patient with Philips iFR compared to FFR[3]
An analysis to assess a cost-minimization of iFR-guided compared with FFR-guided revascularization demonstrated a cost saving per patient of $681 (95% CI: $641 - $723) in the Nordic setting and $1024 (95% CI: $934 - $1114) in the US, when using iFR-guided revascularization.[3]
Helping clinicians focus on what matters most during PCI
Perform ultra‑low contrast PCI procedures with confidence. Philips PCI solutions integrate instantaneous blood flow measurements and/or IVUS images directly onto real‑time fluoroscopy—supporting clinicians as they diagnose, decide, guide, treat, and confirm PCI results, while potentially reducing reliance on iodinated contrast media.
Efficiency in the cath lab
- Clearly identify coronary artery disease with imaging, physiology, co-registration and software available on one platform.
- Perform tasks such as 2D-QA during fluoroscopy or exposure with instant parallel working functionality.
- Make fast, informed clinical decisions by going beyond the angiogram to complete your view of the target vessel.
- Continuously monitor patients and improve cath lab workflows with hemo monitoring and data management.
Improve end-to-end experiences
- Easy access to applications and imaging tools to improve cath lab performance.
- Solutions for every step of coronary procedures, from diagnosis to restoring vessel patency.
- Scalable platform that will be ready to provide you with new innovations and tools as they become available in the future.
Featured solutions for percutaneous coronary intervention
Azurion 7 M12 - the heart of our solution for cardiac care
Elevate your interventional cardiology capabilities with the Azurion 7 with 12'' flat detector. This high performance image-guided therapy solution allows interventional teams to perform challenging cardiac interventions. Seamlessly control all relevant applications at table side for a consistent user experience, excellent lab performance and patient care.
Dynamic Coronary Roadmap - real-time coronary guidance overlay
Dynamic Coronary Roadmap provides real-time, automatic, motion-compensated coronary imaging for live guidance of wires and intra-coronary devices, and has been proven to reduce contrast agent usage by 28.8%[1].
Hemo with IntelliVue X3 - improving workflow in the interventional lab
Brings advanced hemodynamic measurements and calculations to the cath lab and simplifies your workflow by enabling access from the tableside of Azurion.
Dynamic Coronary Roadmap is a great asset to add to the interventional toolkit. It is an easy-to-use tool which reduces the contrast exposure to patients. It is very useful in patients with low GFR or patients with branch vessel disease. I use it very frequently to assist in decreasing contrast use.

- Results obtained during usability study performed in December 2016. The study involved 33 participants. Participants were spread evenly over technologist/ nurses and physicians. To evaluate benefits of the multi-user capabilities of the new system design and user satisfaction, its novel design was tested by participants that had relevant working experience in the interventional lab and who had not previously used the new system.
