SOMATOM X.ceed
with myExam Companion
Intelligent imaging. Exceeding excellence.

As the number and complexity of radiological procedures increases, demands on staff are reaching unsustainable levels. This continues to impact consistent image quality. Although our advanced CT scanners have the potential to expand precision medicine, too often this potential remains untapped – especially in challenging clinical situations such as emergency imaging and advanced CT interventions.

Emergency imaging

In 2019, 39% of all CT procedures were performed on an emergency basis.*

^*_{IMV (2019): CT Market Outlook Report.}

Cardiac CT

From 2011 to 2019, CTAs increased by 13%, while other cardiac procedures more than doubled, from 1.4 to 3.0 m.*

^*_{IMV (2019): CT Market Outlook Report.}

Interventions

Almost half of sites in the USA performed at least three CT-guided interventions per day.*
