The following training materials are established to support you and your staff in daily clinical pratice.
Siemens Healthcare is is happy to provide you with a brilliant way to educate staff and patients about the human anatomy as seen through a CT-scanner.
Perfect for the patient waiting room, the staff lounge or the wall of the reading room, these posters show the wide range of views that are easily created with a CT dataset. In every poster, key anatomy is clearly labeled and workflows explained.
The International CT Image Contest, where we asked physicians from around the world to submit their best, low radiation images, has come to a successful end and the winning images have been collected and reproduced on a new poster.
In October 2009 CT customers from around the world were asked to submit clinical cases with the highest image quality obtained at the lowest possible radiation dose to participate in the world’s first CT image contest. A jury of eight internationally renowned radiology professors evaluated around 300 outstanding contributions from over 30 different countries and announced the winners of the six clinical categories. The winning images are now available as an exclusive poster print. Every image is underlined by a jury statement and a dose meter, indicating the little amount of radiation dose applied.
Together with Stephan Kloska, MD, from Muenster University, Muenster, Germany, Siemens Healthcare designed a poster focusing on anatomy and CT-specific landmarks relevant for CT angiographies of neck and head vessels. Information about a recommended stroke workflow is also included. The radiology department of Muenster performs around 5500 neuro examinations per year, providing the faculty has an extensive experience in neuroradiology.
Thomas Mang, MD, and co-workers from the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, have performed around 800 CTC exams on their SOMATOM Sensation 16 and 64 scanners over the last four years. Based on their experience with virtual colonoscopy, they have created a poster demonstrating the spectrum of CTC findings in colon diseases. All diseases are briefly described and extensively illustrated in 3D and 2D CT images, guiding and assisting users in the reporting of findings in CTC examinations.
Based on axial MIP reconstructions all anatmoic structures of the heart are described. Graphics as well as VRT images explain the 15 segment classification of AHA (American Heart Association). Moreover, 17 Segments of the left ventricle and their relation to the contributing coronaries.
In recent years, there has been a steady rise in the use of CT for biopsy and for image-guided, minimally-invasive therapies. Thanks to the excellent cooperation between Ralf Hofmann, MD, from the University of Munich, Campus Großhadern, Germany and Siemens a new clinical poster was designed. Based on 600 CT-guided interventions, vertebroplasty has been identified as a key area. The poster informs both, physicians and patients about state-of-the-art interventional procedures in vertebroplasty, offering information regarding indications, contra-indications as well as access paths and results.
