Philips & Aversi Clinic Team up to Improve Patient Care in Georgia

Aversi Clinic, in partnership with Philips, showcased the newly opened Hybrid Operation and Diagnostic Rooms which are equipped in accordance with the best international quality standards.

Dimitri Jorbenadze, General Director, and Kakha Kuntelia, Vascular Surgeon at Aversi Clinic, presented innovative healthcare solutions to representatives of the media and healthcare sectors.

Minimally invasive and interventional surgery in the Philips Hybrid Operation Room, and the Philips MRI Diagnostic Room with the Ambient Experience Patient In-bore Solution, will deliver the highest possible quality in imaging, care and service. Such innovative medical technologies have been installed in a number of leading healthcare organizations around the globe.

Innovative Hybrid Operations at Aversi Clinic offer the advantage of minimally invasive procedures, which result in shorter patient recovery time, greater patient comfort and faster patient throughput.

The Philips / MAQUET equipment is customized to the needs of both patients and clinicians. The Operation Room combines the equipment needed for both minimally invasive and open surgical procedures. The best-in-class Philips Allura Clarity angiographic system is able to achieve a 75 percent reduction in X-ray dose while maintaining the excellent image quality needed during image-guided interventions.

The Diagnostic Room is equipped with a wide range of Philips healthcare solutions, including the Philips Ingenia MRI and the Ambient Experience Patient In-bore Solution. The MRI is one of the most important diagnostic tools in clinical practice and the Philips Ingenia 3.0T digital MRI system provides clinicians with detailed high-quality images needed to help diagnose many different anatomical and structural problems—including brain and nervous system disorders, cardiovascular and organ diseases. The scanner enables imaging with fewer coils and reduces patient preparation time.

To obtain the highest quality MRI images, patients are required to remain still during the scanning process, which can last for approximately one hour. Remaining still under these conditions can prove challenging and stressful. To provide patients of Aversi Clinic with a relaxing atmosphere during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, Philips installed the Ambient Experience In-bore Solution which integrates dynamic lighting, projection, sound, spatial design and workflow improvements to reduce patient anxiety and movement and enable the clinic to offer an engaging and comfortable environment.

“This highly-flexible hybrid operation room is optimal for minimally invasive and open surgical procedures,” and Aversi representative told GEORGIA TODAY. “We are delighted to work closely with Philips to improve the patient experience and deliver a whole new standard of care in Georgia. And what is especially important, all equipment is from Philips, which has been cooperating with MAQUET for more than 10 years.”
