Royal Philips , a global leader in health technology, has announced the 5,000th installation of its Philips Zenition mobile surgery imaging system at Kolín Regional Hospital in the Czech Republic.
Launched in 2019, the Zenition platform has become a trusted solution in hospitals across more than 170 countries, enabling surgeons and interventional teams to perform image-guided procedures more efficiently and support improved treatment outcomes. Each year, Philips’ mobile C-arm systems assist in the treatment of over 15 million patients worldwide, underscoring the company’s commitment to accessible and innovative healthcare technologies.
As hospitals face staff shortages and budget pressures, the Philips Zenition mobile C-arm platform is designed to offer high-quality imaging, ease of use, and workflow efficiency. Drawing from innovations developed for Philips’ Azurion platform, Zenition supports confident clinical decision-making while ensuring safety for both patients and staff.
The system’s compact design, Position Memory feature, and BodySmart software enable faster, consistent imaging and reduce the need for C-arm repositioning by up to 45%.
“Designed as an intuitive, impressively fast motorized C-arm, the Zenition efficiently delivers state-of-the-art image quality,” said Filip Neumann, MUDr, Head of the Endoscopy Department at Kolín Regional Hospital, where the 5,000th Zenition has been installed. “The tableside operator and touch screen module provide motion and image control directly at the table, giving operators greater flexibility and independence.”
Seven Decades of Innovation in Surgical Imaging
The milestone coincides with the 70th anniversary of Philips introducing its first mobile C-arm in 1955, marking seven decades of continuous innovation in surgical imaging. Building on this legacy, the Zenition family integrates Philips’ strengths in image-guided therapy, workflow optimization, and clinical collaboration to enhance outcomes across a wide range of surgical specialties.
“Reaching 5,000 Zenition installations worldwide is a testament to the trust clinicians place in our solutions to deliver high-quality care,” said Mark Stoffels, Global Business Leader Image-Guided Therapy Systems at Philips.
“This milestone reflects both our rich 70-year heritage in surgical imaging and our continued commitment to helping healthcare providers overcome today’s challenges of staff shortages, efficiency pressures, and rising costs – so that more patients everywhere can benefit from safe, effective surgical care,” added Rohit Sathe, Global Business Leader, Mobile Surgery at Philips.
From Europe and North America to the Middle East, Asia, and emerging markets, hospitals worldwide continue to endorse Zenition for its ease of use, reliability, and clinical versatility. With flexible configurations and upgradability, the platform empowers healthcare providers to adapt to evolving clinical needs while ensuring long-term value.
