CINCINNATI, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Christ Hospital Health Network is the first healthcare organization in North America to install and begin clinical use of Philips’ new Rembra Radiation Therapy (RT) Computed Tomography (CT) system. Philips’ new Rembra RT CT scanner is designed to support efficient cancer treatment planning workflows.
These advanced systems support consistent CT imaging to help doctors visualize tumors and support treatment planning. They also can help save valuable time with fast image reconstruction speeds and easy-to-use touchscreen gantry controls.
“This scanner sets the bar for accuracy and speed regarding radiation planning,” said Christopher Freese, MD, radiation oncologist at The Christ Hospital Health Network. “The scanner will help us better define our targets while delivering better treatment and results for our patients. As oncologists, we always want to deliver the latest technology and best possible care and the new Rembra RT CT scanner will allow us to continue to provide state-of-the-art care right here in Cincinnati.”
CT imaging is the foundation of precision in radiation therapy planning, delivering accuracy to guide treatment. The scanner supports efficient planning workflows, allowing oncologists at The Christ Hospital Health Network to capture the entire respiratory cycle during breathing supporting improved tumor targeting.
