Philips Technology Maximizer is a cross-modality program and service designed to boost the clinical capabilities, performance, and security of a healthcare organization's Philips imaging equipment fleet . It is available for selected Philips Magnetic Resonance (MR), Computed Tomography (CT), Image-Guided Therapy (IGT), Ultrasound, and Diagnostic X-ray (DXR) systems .
The program operates as a multi-year subscription, typically five years, and runs in tandem with an existing RightFit Customer Service Agreement .

This approach helps healthcare organizations manage their technology lifecycle, stay clinically advanced, and protect against obsolescence and cybersecurity risks .
