The SOMATOM On.site mobile head computed tomography scanner from Siemens Healthineers brings point-of-care neuroimaging to intensive care unit (ICU) patients to avoid risky and time-consuming transports, reduce the risk of complications, and improve workforce efficiency and staff utilization. The unique telescopic gantry design allows the radiation source to move away from the patient during scanning, while the base and front cover of the gantry remain stationary, which helps provide consistent image quality. The easily maneuverable system has an integrated drive camera that enables real-time viewing on the built-in Touch UI display. The integrated head holder and shoulder board accessories allow convenient patient positioning. Scan workflow is easy with myExam Companion, an intelligent user interface powered by GO technologies, zero-click post-processing and automatic wireless image transfer to PACS. Self-shielded telescopic gantry covers combined with radiation shields on the bore’s front and back reduce scatter radiation and allow the technologist to remain with the patient during image acquisition.
