Intelligent imaging. Exceeding excellence. 

SOMATOM X.ceed

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.

    Shui: one user interface across modalities

    Shui – one user interface across modalities

    myExam Companion, myNeedle Companion, and Shui® – the design system of Siemens Healthineers – provide users with common interfaces across multiple modalities. Combined with our digital solutions, they can help you redefine and standardize protocols across your institution, optimizing clinical workflow, staffing schedules, results, and productivity.

    Clinical Use

    While most CT systems excel in power, scan speed, spatial resolution, or temporal resolution, they compromise at least one of the other metrics. SOMATOM X.ceed benchmarks the category with an optimal combination of high temporal and spatial resolution, power, and scan speed designed to master the most challenging clinical situations at low dose. myExam Companion offers radiology teams automated guidance throughout. The result? Elite performance of both CT and personnel.
