Computed tomography scanners from Siemens Healthineers, including the Somatom go.platform, the Somatom X.platform, and the Naeotom Alpha class of photon-counting CT scanners, feature myExam Companion. This intelligent user interface uses clinical language and easy-to-follow visuals to enable even inexperienced users to find the optimal combination of parameters for most patients and procedures. Together with GO artificial intelligence technologies, these CT systems deliver personalized imaging for precise dose and contrast media optimization. The combination of radiation dose-minimizing 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.
¹ The FDA does not endorse the factory contrast protocols over the range of drug administration options provided in the drug label.
