Siemens Healthineers SOMATOM go.Top

The new SOMATOM go.Top computed tomography (CT) system from Siemens Healthineers expands the SOMATOM go. CT platform’s concept of patient-centric mobile workflow – which is controlled via tablet and remote – into advanced clinical fields and applications, including cardiology, CT-guided intervention, and dual energy spectral imaging. In addition to a 0.33-second rotation time, Stellar detector technology, and a robust 75 kW generator, the 128-slice system has a large detector with an acquisition speed of up to 175 mm in one second as well as an automated workflow. The SOMATOM go.Top can deliver new levels of radiation dose personalization due to its high power and low kV scanning mode, along with automated tools that remove the guesswork in low-dose CT imaging. And with the system’s mobile, tablet-based workflow and the capability to offload manual reconstruction tasks, technologists can spend more time focused on the patient.
