Siemens Somatom Volume Zoom CT

The Siemens SOMATOM Volume Zoom CT is a computed tomography (CT) 4-slice scanner designed to make multi-slice imaging more accessible and efficient. It incorporates the use of spiral (helical) CT technology, enabling continuous scanning during the passage of the patient through the scanner, with the view of high-quality 3D volumetric imaging.

Key Features

1. Multi-Slice Imaging: The SOMATOM Volume Zoom captures 4 slices per rotation, enhancing scanning speed and resolution. This makes it ideal for routine and emergency diagnostic imaging, including neurology, cardiology, and oncology.

2. CT³ Volume Scanning: This technique improves image reconstruction, enabling fast and detailed imaging with consistent resolution throughout the scan.

3. CARE Dose Technology: Siemens’ CARE solutions are integrated into the system to reduce radiation exposure without compromising image quality, which is especially important for pediatric and frequent scanning cases.

4. Fast Scan Time: The system has a temporal resolution of 125 milliseconds and can complete 160 slices within a 20-second breath-hold, making it suitable for patients who struggle to remain still during the scan.

5. SureView Image Reconstruction: This feature improves the quality of imaging, particularly in multi-slice CT scans, ensuring that reconstructions are quick and clear, aiding in faster diagnosis.
