Siemens‘ proprietary technology provides CT images with previously unknown sharpness, diagnostic detail, clarity, and speed. The direct anode cooling of the STRATON® X-ray tube eliminates the need for heat storage capacity, permitting a smaller tube size and thus resulting in the industry’s fastest gantry rotation time of 0.33 seconds.

Its revolutionary design is also the basis for z-Sharp™ Technology, which significantly increases resolution without a corresponding increase in dose. In addition, z-UHR Technology pushes the boundaries of ultra-high spatial resolution to unparalleled 0.24 mm isotropic detail.

The desire for as little radiation exposure as possible lies at the heart of our CARE philosophy, providing a wide range of dose-reduction solutions. Saving dose starts right at the point where image data is acquired – the Ultra Fast Ceramic (UFC™) detectors. These highly efficient detectors require the smallest possible amount of dose to deliver exceptional image quality – even at low mA settings.

Another example is our CARE Dose4D™, an unparalleled combination of maximum image quality at minimum dose. Because every patient is unique in terms of size, weight, and anatomy, we developed a fully automated dose management system. The tube current is adapted in real time and according to the anatomy of each individual patient’s organ.
