Summary · why it matters

Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center has become the first hospital in the United States to install the Philips Rembra CT system for acute and high-demand imaging environments, Royal Philips and the McComb, Mississippi hospital announced. The FDA 510(k)-cleared system is now in use in SMRMC's emergency and general radiology departments, where it is designed to accelerate scanning and image reconstruction and help clinicians manage high patient volumes. Philips said the Rembra CT can support up to 270 patient exams per day in throughput testing and features the largest-in-class 85 cm bore. Brent Albritton, Director of Radiology at SMRMC, said the team is already seeing faster system initialization, more efficient image selection, helpful 3D tools and easier patient positioning. SMRMC, the hub of Southwest Health, also sees an opportunity to develop cardiac CT angiography and virtual colonoscopy as its clinical programs and staffing grow.
