SOMATOM Emotion 16-slice – Compact innovation for medical imaging
The SOMATOM Emotion 16-slice from Siemens is recognised worldwide as one of the most popular CT scanners. Its success is based on a unique combination of performance, reliability, compactness and accessibility. Designed to meet the growing need for fast and accurate diagnostics while respecting the budgetary constraints of healthcare facilities, this scanner embodies Siemens' commitment to useful innovation.
Featuring Ultra Fast Ceramic (UFC™) technology, the SOMATOM Emotion guarantees exceptional image quality while minimising radiation dose thanks to the CARE Dose4D™ system. It enables fast sub-millimetre coverage, ideal for lung examinations in a single breath hold. Its 0.6-second rotation speed and 16 images per second reconstruction capability ensure high productivity and significantly reduced examination times.
Its compact design (18 m²) and low energy consumption (<70 kVA) facilitate installation in confined environments, including mobile units. The 69 cm gantry with a flared opening improves patient comfort and offers better accessibility for interventional procedures.
The SOMATOM Emotion is also equipped with the syngo® software suite, including tools such as syngo LungCAD, syngo Colonography PEV and syngo Expert-i, enabling computer-aided detection, 3D visualisation and remote access to data. These features enhance diagnostic accuracy and promote collaboration between professionals.
The Siemens Guardian™ programme provides real-time system monitoring, ensuring maximum availability and proactive maintenance. Through the LifeNet platform, users can access updates, training and trials of new applications to stay at the forefront of technology.
The SOMATOM Emotion 16-slice is much more than just a scanner: it is a complete medical imaging solution designed to optimise clinical, economic and technical performance while improving the patient experience.
