Changing views on patient diversity – with personalized scanning

Scan virtually all patients with diagnostic confidence – including obese persons, children, and patients unable to cooperate.  

. Get powerful images of obese patients:With SOMATOM Edge Plus, you can obtain sharp and rich-in-contrast images at high speed and low dose even with large patients.

. Gently scan the dose-sensitive ones:Minimize the need for sedation and allow low-dose scans for children with High Power at low kV and integrated CARE Child technology.

. Freeze motion when your patient can’t:Excellent image quality within seconds for emergency cases due to the combination of High Power reserves with high coverage of up to 230 mm/s in clinical routine.

Changing views on clinical paradigms – with advanced imaging

Gain new diagnostic insights like functional information and tissue characterization, acquired with no dose or time penalty.

. See more than ever before with tin-filtered scanning: Shield patients from clinically irrelevant dose and use CT for a wider application range with our Tin Filter technology.

. Add dynamic imaging to your clinical routine:Make dynamic imaging an everyday method for nearly all patients and anatomical regions at the right dose and contrast-to-noise ratio.

. Perform advanced quantitative imaging with no dose penalty:Eliminate additional non-contrast scans by creating virtual ones – backed by our unique TwinBeam Dual Energy technology.

Changing views on patient positioning – with automated workflows

Save time and achieve consistent results with smart automation for fast, precise positioning, scanning, and postprocessing. 

. Safeguard correct and consistent positioning:Our FAST Integrated Workflow with FAST 3D Camera helps your team acquire first-time right scans and manage tight schedules.

. Get closer to your patients:Set parameters without leaving your patients and offer them individual care with our Touch Panels on eye-level.

. Simplify preparation of patients and scanner:Accelerate workflows and lower dose, helping you optimize process efficiency and improve patient outcome with our software packages.
