The Complete Solution for cardiovascular CT

The CT Cardiac Engine offers you the complete solution for cardiovascular CT imaging.

From scan to diagnosis, your CT Cardiac Engine provides everything you need to achieve a streamlined cardiovascular workflow. State-of-the- art ECG-synchronized acquisition, image reconstruction techniques and intuitive ECG-editing to adapt for arrhythmia before image reconstruction ensuring optimal image quality. With your patients' safety in mind, the lowest posible dose is provided with intelligent adaptive ECG-pulsing. An innovative, dedicated cardiovascularimaging user interface simplifies your daily workflow and ensures highest throughput.

syngo will help you deliver excellent diagnostic outcomes with dedicated software solutions that cover the field of cardiovascular imaging: from vascular analysis with accurate stenosis measurement to stent planning, from cardiac morphology to coronary artery stenosis measurement, to functional analysis resulting in a comprehensive report that turns data into a diagnostic outcomes within minutes.

Scanner solutions1

  • Fastest available rotation time with up to 0.33 sec rotation delivers highest temporal resolution and fastest volume coverage.
  • z-SharpTM Technology ensures the industry’s highest spatial resolution of less than 0.4 mm for exceptional visualization of the complex coronary and vascular anatomy.
  • HeartView CT and HeartView DSCT2 provide Siemens proprietary ECG-gated acquisition and reconstruction techniques to ensure optimal cardiac image quality.
  • Fully integrated ECG device facilitates both prospective triggering and retrospective gating, plus ECG-pulsing for maximum dose reduction in cardiac exams.
  • New adaptive2 ECG-pulsing allows even further dose reduction, even in patients with irregular heart rates.
  • Intuitive ECG-editing tool adapts for extra beats in arhythmic situations, ensuring optimal retrospective image reconstruction.
  • CARE Dose4DTM delivers the highest possible image quality at the lowest possible dose for all vascular exams – maximum detail, minimum dose.
