The world's lowest radiation Computed Tomography (CT) system. Somatom Force 1152-Slice Coronary CT Angiography in a Single Heartbeat
The new generation SOMATOM Force Computed Tomography system, thanks to its dual-tube, dual-detector technology and its ability to complete a full rotation in 0.25 seconds, allows for coronary CT angiography without the need for beta-blockers, regardless of heartbeat.
The FAST 3D Camera, a world first, uses an infrared light source to pinpoint the patient's position in three dimensions. This allows the system to automatically position the patient on the examination table, independently of user intervention. This unique feature, exclusive to FAST technology, prevents patients from being exposed to dose overdoses that could result from incorrect positioning relative to the imaging center.
iMAR software, used to improve image quality when scanning patients with metal implants, reduces glare caused by the metal. The software's compatibility with different implant types (dental fillings, pacemakers, hip implants, etc.) allows for high-resolution, patient-specific, detailed studies.
Thanks to touch panels designed for pediatric or anxious patients, the user can better guide the patient and remain in communication with them until the scan.
The new generation SOMATOM Force CT system is designed to cater to all patient types. Especially for pediatric patients, it provides ultra-fast imaging with ultra-low doses without the need for sedation.
With Turbo Flash mode, a scanning speed of 737mm per second, and the presence of two tube/detector units, image distortions caused by movement and breathing that may occur in emergency cases, pediatric patients, obese patients, or Parkinson's patients are prevented.
SOMATOM Force, the world's only kidney-friendly computed tomography (CT) system, allows imaging with trace amounts of contrast agent thanks to its Turbo Flash mode and high generator power. This makes it easy to examine patients with chronic kidney disease or diabetes who are sensitive to contrast agents.
With a 78 cm wide gantry opening, it creates a comfortable space for patients with claustrophobia.
The system automatically adjusts organ-specific voltage according to the patient's body mass index, enabling ultra-low dose imaging.
The SOMATOM Force CT system, especially designed for oncology patients, provides the highest level of separation of air and soft tissue in the lung, as well as tissue characterization, thanks to its Tin Filter and Dual Energy technologies. This increases the chance of diagnosing anomalies that may be detected in the early stages.
