NAEOTOM Alpha class hero image
Computed Tomography is moving beyond its traditional diagnostic role to become a key player in early disease detection and therapy planning. This expansion means an even broader patient cohort and resilient productivity demands. You need a reliable partner with products, services, and the infrastructure to support new business models and prioritize environmental sustainability and robustness. Computed Tomography at Siemens Healthineers, with its legacy of listening for almost 50 years, is innovating ahead of these developments, even before potentials become needs.

News & Stories

A small lesion in the pancreatic body is seen in a cinematic VRT image created with UHR images.

Pancreatic insulinoma in a patient with a history of hypoglycemia

 2024-11-27

A 63-year-old female patient, with a history of Hypoglycemia, had a calcium stimulation challenge test which showed diffuse insulin secretion throughout the pancreas, suspecting an insulinoma. However, a conventional CT examination did not reveal any pancreatic lesion. A contrast CT scan was performed with NAEOTOM Alpha for further evaluation.

Clinical Results
A curved MPR image show the SVG with a VEST device anastomosed to the PDA. The middle segment appears thin. Two severe stenoses are visualized in the distal segment.

Severe stenoses in a coronary saphenous vein graft with an external VEST support

 2024-11-13

A 59-year-old male patient, with a history of triple CABG and coronary stenting, came to the hospital with non-specific symptoms. A CT scan with a dual source photon-counting detector CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, was performed to evaluate the patency of the grafts, the anastomoses and the stent.

Clinical Results
A cinematic VRT image shows a three-dimensional view of the tumor located in the pancreatic body, showing no evidence of gastric wall invasion

A well-differentiated, invasive ductal adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic body

 2024-10-30

A 69-year-old male patient, complaining of abdominal pain slowly progressing over the past 3 months, came to the hospital for a check-up. Ultrasound examination revealed a mixed solid and cystic mass in the pancreatic body, with suspicious invasion into the gastric wall. A CT examination was performed with a photon-counting CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, for further assessment.

Clinical Results
Two corresponding curved MPR images, using standard and ZeeFree reconstruction, demonstrate a clear visualization of mild stenoses in the proximal LAD, caused by calcified plaques, after the ZeeFree correction. A non-calcified plaque in the mid LAD is also seen.

Multi-vessel coronary atherosclerosis – significant stenoses?

 2024-10-16

A 78-year-old female diabetic patient, with clinical symptoms of a suspected stable angina, came to the hospital for a check-up. A coronary CT angiography was requested to evaluate the coronary arteries and to rule out coronary stenosis. A prospectively ECG-triggered sequential mode was performed with a dual source photon-counting detector CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®.

Clinical Results
A cinematic VRT image shows a three-dimensional view of the coronary arteries. The stents and the calcified plaques are highlighted. The axial images used were reconstructed at 0.2 mm with a kernel of Bv72.

Macromastia with severe ptosis

 2024-10-02
A 32-year-old female patient, suffering from bilateral symptomatic breast hypertrophy with severe ptosis, was scheduled for a reduction mammaplasty. CTA was performed, using a UHR scan mode with a dual source photon-counting detector CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, to assess the dominant blood supply of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) and its vascular sources.
