Siemens is not only aiming for
optimized image quality in its flat detectors.
The company is also looking to develop completely
new functions that lighten hospital staff workload.

During the past six years multi-slice CT (MSCT) has
witnessed a significant increase in performance.
Additional clinical benefit can be expected by area
detectors large enough to cover entire organs in
one rotation. The principles of volumetric scanning
and potential clinical applications can be evaluated
with flat panel technology.
By Thomas Flohr, Ph.D., Michael Grasruck, Ph.D., Karl Stierstorfer, Ph.D., Stefan Popescu, Ph.D., and
Christoph Süß, Ph.D.
Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) assists users
by drawing attention to regions of interest that may
require further review. Thus, it serves as a ‘second
reader’ in the process of image interpretation.
As the demands on clinicians grow, the need for
CAD products in the radiology market, as in other
medical markets, is likely to grow significantly.
Louise A. McKenna, Ph.D., and Stefan Wuensch, Ph.D., Heiderose Pfaff, Thomas Mertelmeier, Ph.D., and Axel Hebecker, Ph.D., Ingo Schmuecking, M.D.

Ultrasound Technology Simultaneously Improves Diagnostic Image Quality and Patient Throughput
Since the introduction of TEQ ultrasound technology
in 2000, radiologists experienced improved
diagnostic confidence through the
automatic correction of the most
common technical errors, leading
to improved image quality and
improved patient throughput.
