International CT Image Contest – highest image quality at lowest dose
Should a patient have a CT examination or not? The decision made is almost always a medical one. Does the potential benefit outweigh possible radiation risks for the patient?

While CT imaging entails a dose of radiation, it undoubtedly provides valuable information about our health and supports the physician in making the right diagnosis.
In maximizing patient benefits, the challenge is how
to obtain the highest possible image quality at the
lowest possible radiation dose.
International CT Image Contest – the
ALARA principle
For years, physicians have been educated to follow
the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle.
This means using the minimum radiation dose
required to obtain the necessary image quality. At
Siemens, we see it as our responsibility to provide
medical institutions with solutions that enable them
to further lower the radiation dose without compromising
on image quality.
We aim to encourage users from all over the world
to utilize their SOMATOM CT to the full extent and to
show us their best, low-radiation images.
