The Philips Brilliance Legacy in India
Since its introduction, the Philips Brilliance CT series has earned a reputation for reliability, image quality, and cost-effective operation. For Indian diagnostic centers—where equipment uptime and operational costs are critical—the Brilliance series offers compelling advantages.
Brilliance Series Overview
| Model | Slice Configuration | Key Feature | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brilliance 16 | 16-slice | Compact, reliable | Routine diagnostics |
| Brilliance 40 | 40-slice | Balance of speed/cost | High-volume centers |
| Brilliance 64 | 64-slice | Cardiac capable | Tertiary hospitals |
| Brilliance iCT | 128-256 slice | Premium imaging | Research, specialized |
Why Indian Centers Choose Brilliance
1. Proven Reliability
Philips Brilliance systems are known for exceptional uptime, with many systems operating 10+ years with proper maintenance. The robust detector design and cooling systems handle the high ambient temperatures common in Indian diagnostic centers.
2. Dose Efficiency
Philips iDose⁴ technology enables up to 80% radiation dose reduction while maintaining image quality. This is particularly important as Indian regulatory scrutiny on CT radiation doses increases.
3. Intuitive Workflow
The Philips user interface is designed for efficiency, reducing technologist training time and scan-to-scan intervals. Many centers report 20-30% higher throughput after switching to Brilliance systems.
4. Total Cost of Ownership
| Cost Element | Brilliance 64 (Refurbished) |
|---|---|
| Equipment | ₹65-85 Lakhs |
| Installation | ₹8-12 Lakhs |
| Annual Service (CMC) | ₹10-15 Lakhs |
| X-Ray Tube (replacement) | ₹12-18 Lakhs |
