The new Naeotom Alpha class of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) scanners from Siemens Healthineers includes the Naeotom Alpha.Pro, a new dual-source PCCT scanner; the Naeotom Alpha.Prime, the world’s first single-source PCCT scanner; and the dual-source Naeotom Alpha.Peak (formerly the Naeotom Alpha), the world’s first commercially available PCCT scanner and the most premium member of the product class. All three scanners display anatomy with a previously unseen level of detail at a slice thickness of 0.2 mm, making small abnormalities visible without increasing the radiation dose. The Naeotom Alpha.Peak delivers a fast scan speed of 737 mm/sec for radiologists who need a high level of clinical performance. The dual-source Naeotom Alpha.Pro delivers scan speeds as fast as 491 mm/sec with the same 66 ms temporal resolution as the Naeotom Alpha.Peak. The single-source Naeotom Alpha.Prime has a scan speed of 345 mm/sec. All Naeotom Alpha class models use artificial intelligence and automation to accelerate diagnostic and interventional processes.
