The new SOMATOM X.cite premium single-source computed tomography scanner from Siemens Healthineers has a large 82cm gantry bore for increased patient comfort and uses the Vectron X-ray tube. The scanner’s new myExam Companion intelligent user interface concept guides the user through the exam workflow, enabling optimal utilization of all of the scanner’s state-of-the-art features. The myExam Companion combines available patient data such as gender and age with other user or machine-observable, patient-specific information to identify optimal acquisition and reconstruction techniques for each patient and exam. Together, these innovations make the imaging process more efficient, compensating for differences in user experience levels and scan complexities on even highly complicated acquisitions, including coronary CT angiography (CTA) studies.
