Part of Royal Philips Electronics, Philips Healthcare develops best-in-class imaging technologies for the healthcare sector to enable faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment
Product evaluated
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series
Challenge
To improve the simultaneous visualisation and pre-processing capability of the Extended Brilliance Workspace (EBW), enabling it to process even larger amounts of raw data in a shorter timeframe
Results
The EBW shows a 100% increase in performance running on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series with 45nm Hi-k technology compared to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series. Multi-core technology means the EBW can perform heavy computation pre-processing in the background, whilst the user views another patient’s data with almost no performance degradation
Impact
Improved workstation throughput means the EBW can produce higher-quality 3D images in a shorter timeframe, enabling physicians to make more accurate and speedy diagnoses. The ability to produce even better computer tomography systems enables Philips to maintain its leading market position
Next steps
Philips plans to migrate its EBW to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series platform and continues to work closely with Intel, aligning its product development to the Intel® roadmap
