Computed TomographyInnovation that matters.

Computed tomography plays an increasingly important role in early disease detection and therapy planning – requiring increased productivity to scan a growing patient cohort. Siemens Healthineers partners with you through innovative solutions and services to support your evolving business models and prioritize environmental sustainability.

Siemens Healthineers strives to deliver CT innovation that matters, through our trusted SOMATOM portfolio of CT scanners, and now the NAEOTOM Alpha, the world's first photon-counting CT.

Computed Tomography News & Stories

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.
Clinical Results
A cinematic VRT image shows a three-dimensional view of the coronary arteries, the enlarged left ventricle with an apical aneurysm. The stents and the calcified plaques are highlighted in green.

Single-vessel coronary stents accompanied by high-risk plaques

 2024-09-18

A 60-year-old male patient, complaining of intermittent chest pain and shortness of breath for the past month, came to the hospital for a check-up. He had a history of coronary stenting. A CCTA was requested and performed with a dual-source photon-counting CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, to assess the coronaries and the stent patency.

Clinical Results
A cinematic VRT image shows that the LAD and the Cx originate separately off the left coronary sinus, with normal courses, without a common LM. The origin and the course of the RCA are normal.

Anomalous left coronary origins as well as a small incidental atrial septal defect

 2024-09-04

A 70-year-old female patient, suffering from hypertension, came to the hospital complaining of increasing chest discomfort suspicious of angina. Coronary CT angiography was requested and performed on a dual source CT, a SOMATOM Pro.Pulse, to rule out obstructive coronary disease.
