Somatom Sensation 64 :
New 64-Slice CT Scan

Backed-up by well-trained radiologists and cardiologists, this State-of-the-art imaging, the Siemens Somatom Sensation 64 delivers ultra-fast, precise and much clearer images of the internal structures within the human body for efficient diagnosis.

  

Assess stroke patients quickly. View heart structures and calcifications in seconds. Quick and precise with reduced radiation, it is perfect even for restless pediatric patients. High resolution scanning fom head to toe within seconds makes it ideal for multi-trauma patients. Excellent results in the evaluation of primary cancer targets, metastasis, therapy follow-up and future developments of new cancer therapy courses.

Offering New Levels of Excellence in CT

The SOMATOM Sensation is a leader in CT, setting a new benchmark for excellence in medical imaging. By using the most advanced x-ray tube in the industry, it captures more data and creates more detailed images. Better images can help doctors see the finest details of the human body at new levels of speed and performance. For you, that means an exam that is fast, straightforward, and painless.

A New Level of Speed

  • Revolutionary Sensation 64 technology enables significantly shorter exam times.
  • Greater speed benefits patients who are too ill to comply with a longer examination.

A New Level of Image Clarity

  • Cutting-edge imaging technology enables dramatically improved images and details.
  • Permits real-time imaging of anatomy as it moves (e.g. the beating heart).
  • Greater clarity provides additional information for doctors, helping them diagnose more accurately, pinpoint signs of disease earlier, and develop better treatment plans.

Multiple Tools to Minimize
Radiation Exposure

  • Pioneering CARE Dose4D (fully automated dose management) technology automatically adjusts radiation dose, providing up to 66% less radiation for adults and children.*
  • Groundbreaking design doubles scan information without doubling the dose of radiation.

*Results may vary. Data on file.

A New Level of Versatility

Broad menu of technology options permits exams in many areas of medical expertise, for high-quality scans of the:

  • Colon
  • Lungs
  • Brain
