CT Acute Care Engine
The Complete Solution for CT imaging of emergency patients
In acute care, the requirements for CT imaging
are challenging and diverse – from acute
chest pain patients to complex poly-trauma to
stroke assessment, every second counts.
The CT Acute Care Engine delivers the complete
solution needed to make fast and confident
decisions. By combining state-of-the-art functionality
for cardiac, vascular, and neuro
CT imaging, and adding innovative workflow
features to high-resolution acquisition, the
CT Acute Care Engine provides the complete
clinical portfolio for imaging emergency
patients from head to toe. Using fast, direct
3D reconstruction, you will be reviewing the
images before the patient is off the table.
syngo will streamline your clinical workflow
for cardiac, vascular, musculoskeletal, and
stroke evaluation, turning data into diagnostic
outcomes within minutes.
