Adventist Hospital Penang Elevates Interventional Care with New Imaging System

Penang Adventist Hospital has taken a significant leap forward in patient care with the installation of the Philips Azurion Biplane, a state-of-the-art imaging system designed to transform interventional procedures. Installed on May 28, 2025, the advanced technology marks a milestone in the hospital’s ongoing mission to deliver safer, smarter, and more connected healthcare services.

The Azurion Biplane is a next-generation image-guided therapy platform that provides real-time, high-definition imaging from two planes simultaneously. This capability allows medical professionals to visualize complex vascular structures and navigate intricate procedures with enhanced clarity and control. By offering improved visualization, smart automation, and intuitive workflow features, the system significantly boosts procedural accuracy, minimizes radiation exposure, and reduces treatment time—ultimately enhancing safety and comfort for patients.

With this powerful technology, Penang Adventist Hospital is better equipped to perform a wide range of interventional procedures, including neurovascular interventions, cardiac catheterizations, and complex vascular treatments. The system’s efficiency and precision contribute to better outcomes and support the hospital’s commitment to delivering world-class care.

This development further reinforces Penang Adventist Hospital’s thrust for excellence and holistic patient care. Earlier this year, the hospital was recognized by Newsweek as one of the best specialized hospitals in the Asia-Pacific region for orthopedics, a testament to its century-long dedication to quality healthcare and innovation. This recognition highlights the hospital’s focus on combining cutting-edge medical technology with compassionate service rooted in Christian values.

As the hospital continues to expand its capabilities and improve its services, the integration of the Philips Azurion Biplane underscores Penang Adventist Hospital as a leader in healthcare across the region—delivering advanced treatments while remaining true to its mission of restoring wholeness to every patient it serves.
