The NAEOTOM Alpha photon-counting computed tomography (CT) scanner as well as the SOMATOM X. and SOMATOM go. CT platforms from Siemens Healthineers feature myExam Companion, an intelligent user interface that uses clinical language and easy-to-follow visuals to enable even inexperienced users to find the optimal combination of parameters for every patient and procedure. Dual Energy spectral imaging and CARE kV help the technologist maintain or improve image contrast-to-noise ratio while reducing the required amount of contrast media for each patient. Together with GO technologies, these CT systems deliver personalized imaging for precise dose and contrast media optimization. The combination of CARE Contrast III and pre-defined default contrast media protocols¹ with myExam Companion clinical decision trees offers a holistic contrast media management solution, increasing process efficiency and standardizing quality in contrast enhancement. The Check&GO intelligent algorithm flags problems with scan coverage and contrast distribution. The FAST ROI (Region of Interest) feature automates aortic detection to help the technologist identify the optimal moment to begin contrast administration. Additionally, an integrated, gantry-mounted injector arm addresses the cost and complexities of traditional pedestal- and ceiling-mounted injector solutions.
