Testimonials

"For us, the main benefit that comes with SOMATOM go.Open Pro is Direct i4D, which is helping with patients who are having SABR treatments or just 4D scans for lung tumors. Direct i4D will allow you to scan with a breathing trace which isn't what we would classify as perfect – because of that, it allows the patient to be off the scanner quicker."⁹

Paula McLoone

RT Technician
Hull University Teaching Hospitals, NHS Trust, UK

“We have steadily increased the number of 4D CT simulations we perform weekly and we are close to plan 100% of our lung cancer patients with Direct i4D. It provides excellent images with barely any artifacts. It also provides superb images in the abdominal area to assess movement of liver lesions or adrenal glands. We have found it to facilitate our workflow massively.”⁹

Jordi Saez, PhD

Medical Physicist
Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Spain

“Our Siemens Healthineers SOMATOM go.Open Pro (…) has astonished us by its ease in use and its integrational components. The go. platform is really guiding you intuitively through the simulation process by means of timeline, visualization and step by step menus under defining even multiple isocenters. Sending them to the on bore-mounted lasers is fast and reliable.“⁹
