Philips iCT
Family: Philips iCT / Ingenuity Elite lineage · Modality: CT
256-slice CT scanner (Brilliance iCT at launch), notable for its 0.27-second gantry rotation and wide detector coverage. Pitched for cardiac CT angiography and stroke protocols before Philips' wider-coverage IQon Spectral CT / Spectral CT 7500. Common in academic centers that invested in cardiac CT early.
Variant-specific considerations
- 256-slice, 8 cm z-coverage
- 0.27 s rotation (fastest when launched)
- iDose iterative reconstruction typical
- Successor platforms: Ingenuity CT (128-slice workhorse), Ingenuity Elite, later IQon Spectral CT / Incisive CT
