A legendary machine and breakthrough in technology of its time. The Siemens Volume Zoom CT is a high-performance computed tomography (CT) scanner developed by Siemens Healthineers, notable for its multi-slice imaging capability.
It was one of the first CT systems to feature quad-slice technology, meaning it could capture four slices of the body per rotation. This significantly improved scanning speed and image quality compared to earlier single-slice CT scanners.
Key Features
Quad-Slice Technology. The Volume Zoom CT can acquire four slices per rotation, allowing for faster scans and more detailed imaging. This feature was revolutionary when introduced and paved the way for faster CT scans in emergency and routine diagnostics.
High Image Resolution. The scanner offers high spatial resolution, providing detailed images that are crucial for accurate diagnosis. Its ability to capture multiple thin slices allows for better visualization of small structures in the body, such as fine details in the brain, heart, or lungs.
Fast Scanning Speed. With its multi-slice technology, the Volume Zoom CT dramatically reduces the scanning time compared to single-slice systems. This makes it suitable for time-sensitive imaging needs, such as trauma cases or cardiac imaging.
Versatility. The Siemens Volume Zoom CT is used across a range of clinical applications, including neurology, cardiology, oncology, and vascular imaging. Its fast scanning capability also makes it ideal for dynamic studies, such as tracking blood flow or respiratory function.
Data Processing. The Volume Zoom CT was designed with advanced computing power to quickly process the large amount of data collected during scans. This ensures that high-quality images are available for review in a short time.
Applications. It is especially useful in whole-body imaging, trauma care, and angiography. Its ability to perform fast, high-quality scans makes it a reliable tool for a broad range of medical assessments, including both routine check-ups and complex cases.
