Philips’ Follow C-arm Introduced to Integrate Preoperative CT Data Into Cath Lab Workflow

October 27, 2025—Royal Philips announced the launch of Follow C-arm, which integrates preoperative CT data directly into the catheterization lab workflow. The technology is available through the integration of Philips' Advanced Visualization Workspace (AVW) with the Azurion image-guided therapy system. The innovation is an initial step towards CT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), noted the company.

According to Philips, Follow C-arm is intended to automatically synchronize the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of coronary arteries with the movement of the Azurion C-arm. As the C-arm angulation changes, the CT volume rotates in real-time to match, providing a 3D anatomic view without manual interaction. The connection helps combine the detailed insights of CT imaging with the flexibility of live x-ray guidance inside the catheterization lab.

The combined AVW–Azurion approach aims to provide enhanced anatomic insights to guide complex PCI procedures, stated Philips.
