Philips unveils Rembra CT at ECR 2026

Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, introduced Rembra, its next-generation radiology CT system designed for the realities of acute and high-demand imaging. Rembra will be showcased publicly for the first time at ECR 2026 in Vienna.

Healthcare systems worldwide are under unprecedented pressure. Rising patient volumes, increasing clinical complexity and workforce shortages are pushing frontline, high-acuity and high-demand imaging to its limits. Rembra was engineered from the ground up to meet these challenges, bringing together advanced detector technology, ultra-fast scan and reconstruction speeds and streamlined workflows in a system built for speed, consistency and long-term value.

“Rembra is built for the realities that clinicians face every day,” said Dan Xu, Business Leader for Computed Tomography at Philips. “By combining our most advanced detector technology with AI-powered workflows and industry-leading speed, Rembra represents a significant step forward for high-acuity imaging, delivering speed, access and diagnostic confidence when it matters most.”

In emergency, trauma and other high-demand settings, delays in image reconstruction can slow diagnosis and impact outcomes. Rembra addresses this challenge with an industry-leading reconstruction speed – up to 106 images per second. This speed is designed to help radiologists and clinicians access images quickly in stroke, trauma and other urgent cases. It may support smoother workflows and timely clinical decisions in busy emergency departments.

Designed for high-demand environments, Rembra can support 270 exams per day, helping imaging departments manage growing volumes without compromising speed or confidence.

With the largest-in-class 85 cm bore, Rembra is designed to help facilitate patient access and positioning, and may help improve comfort for trauma, bariatric and interventional cases.

Rembra features a 60 cm standard field of view (sFOV) and an 85 cm extended field of view (eFOV), both the largest in their class of frontline radiology CT systems, enabling full anatomical visualisation in a single scan. Rembra also features a high-performance patient table with Philips’ best-in-class scan range of up to 2.3 meters and gantry-to-tablespace of 46 cm to support flexible patient positioning.

“In interventional and high acuity settings, precise access and efficient positioning are essential,” said Professor Olivier Rouvière, MD, PhD, Head of Department at Hospices Civils de Lyon (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lyon). “Rembra’s 85 cm bore supports improved access as well as faster and safer positioning of long needles and instruments in complex procedures.”
