Siemens SOMATOM SENSATION 64 CT Scanner: Revolutionizing Diagnostic Imaging and Patient Care
Siemens SOMATOM SENSATION 64 CT scanner sets a new standard in the world of computed tomography, where accurate, reliable, and swift diagnoses are paramount. Conventional scanners often struggle to achieve the necessary speed and resolution demanded by today's clinical needs, leading to compromises and time-consuming adjustments for usable results. However, with the SOMATOM Sensation, such compromises become obsolete, committed to perpetually elevating image quality by blending unparalleled speed, resolution, and coverage with minimal patient exposure. These factors are pivotal in achieving unprecedented sharpness, diagnostic detail, and clarity, leaving clinicians in awe of the sensational images produced.
In cardiology, for instance, the scanner offers images of exceptional quality, enabling quantitative coronary analysis and precise stenosis measurement. Oncologists benefit from high-precision scanning crucial for sensitive tumor staging and follow-up. Neurologists can expect artifact-free imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution, facilitating fast and accurate visualization of complex neurological disorders, head, neck, and spine conditions, as well as injuries and strokes.
The advantages extend beyond clinicians to patients, ensuring better healthcare outcomes through reliable differential diagnosis in routine clinical settings and specialized examinations. The SOMATOM Sensation delivers various clinical benefits, including visualization of fine details throughout the scan field without increasing the dose, robust cardiac imaging with the highest rotation time, visualization of inner ear structures with the highest isotropic spatial resolution, and artifact-free spiral imaging.
Economically, the scanner expands clinical applications and increases patient referrals, while technically, it offers exceptional image quality with the STRATON high-performance CT X-ray tube, the industry's highest isotropic resolution with z-Sharp Technology, and dose savings at the point of acquisition with UFC Detector. With Siemens SOMATOM SENSATION 64, the future of computed tomography is here, revolutionizing diagnostic imaging and patient care.
In the realm of diagnostic imaging, the ability to freeze motion is indispensable, especially in cardiac imaging where non-invasive diagnosis is increasingly vital. With SOMATOM Sensation, achieving this mission-critical capability becomes routine, thanks to its industry-leading rotation time. The proprietary STRATON X-ray tube propels this innovation, enabling the market's fastest gantry rotation time of 0.33 s, resulting in an impressive temporal resolution of 160 ms. This rapid rotation ensures motion-artifact-free imaging of the heart, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical confidence.
The paradigm-shifting 0 MHU STRATON X-ray tube represents a breakthrough in CT imaging technology. Its direct anode cooling eliminates the need for heat storage, allowing for a compact design and the fastest CT gantry rotation across all applications. Coupled with the highest spatial resolution, SOMATOM Sensation delivers crisp-clear images that visualize the finest anatomical details with exceptional clarity. Even the smallest coronary vessels and plaques are distinctly visible, and stents are highly delineated, facilitating precise diagnosis.
The award-winning SOMATOM Sensation boasts the industry's highest routine isotropic resolution of 0.33 mm in all its configurations. This remarkable resolution enables the visualization of the smallest pathologies and finest anatomical structures with unparalleled accuracy, ensuring reproducible and quantifiable diagnosis. Moreover, the z-UHR resolution of 0.24 mm sets a new standard in spatial resolution for Multislice CT, allowing for the highest definition of complex inner-ear bones or tiny joints.
Unlike traditional methods that decrease detector element size to improve spatial resolution, z-Sharp Technology utilizes two overlapping X-ray beams, resulting in significantly increased resolution without a corresponding increase in dose. This groundbreaking approach delivers the industry's highest isotropic resolution of 0.33 mm routinely, irrespective of scan and rotation speed or position within the scan field. Additionally, z-Sharp Technology eliminates visible spiral artifacts, enhancing clinical confidence, especially in neuro imaging, and revealing the smallest anatomical details with unprecedented clarity and precision.
Efficient and seamless patient care begins with meticulous planning and preparation, and SOMATOM Sensation streamlines this process with its optimized "Zero Delay" workflow. Patient preparation is simplified and made safer, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish. With CARE Contrast CT, our dedicated solution for contrast media management, the connection between the CT scanner and injector is direct. This innovative integration allows for CT scan initiation right in the CT room with a single button push – directly at the injector. This unique feature enables continuous monitoring of the patient and correct I.V. placement without the need to leave the room.
Once the scan is initiated, SOMATOM Sensation excels in scan and reconstruction efficiency. WorkStream4D, our advanced reconstruction software, virtually eliminates time-consuming manual reconstruction processes. Immediate access to oblique and double-oblique reconstructions enhances diagnostic capabilities, providing clinicians with comprehensive imaging data. WorkStream4D serves as a complete reconstruction solution, automating tasks and accelerating the entire workflow. With SOMATOM Sensation, diagnostic imaging becomes not only accurate and reliable but also incredibly efficient, empowering healthcare professionals to deliver the highest standard of care to their patients.
