SOMATOM Pro.Pulse with Dual Source technology delivers the temporal resolution and scan speed needed to reduce motion artifacts in challenging patients. myExam Companion enhances the scanning experience for both users and patients. While reliable service solutions and continuous staff education complete the offering. Achieve operational excellence with SOMATOM Pro.Pulse – a smart investment for a wide range of hospitals.
Benefits
SOMATOM Pro.Pulse has a high temporal resolution of 86 ms.
With two tubes and two detectors, our one-of-a-kind Dual Source technology provides the power, speed, and precision needed to scan without motion artifacts – and with no need for beta-blockers even for patients with high and irregular heart rates.
Crisp images of the coronaries even if the patient breathes.
Sometimes, image stacks of the heart are misaligned – typically caused by patients breathing during the scan. ZeeFree is a reconstruction feature that uses smart algorithms to automatically align the image stacks for optimal cardiac images.
myExam Companion helps users tap the full potential of their CT scan machine.
The intelligent guidance from myExam Companion supports users to confidently perform CT examinations from routine to the most advanced scans such as cardiac or stroke – enhancing standardization of operation in your institution.
myExam Companion – Intelligence that works with you
myExam Care is our new patient-centric approach that improves patient assistance.
The world’s first gantry-integrated FAST 3D Camera is powered by AI and facilitates precise patient positioning. The CARE Moodlight indicates for users the progress of a scan and creates for patients a calming atmosphere in the scan room. CARE Breathe provides visual guidance for patients on when to hold their breath using intuitive color-coded commands. And with the CARE 2D Camera, users can monitor a patient during a scan.
Move from a traditional CT setup to a more flexible room design.
Air-cooling allows for easy installation without structural changes. The gantry-mounted FAST 3D camera can be easily attached to the front cover. And because the power generator is integrated into the gantry, there is no need for a technical room.
Lifecycle costs are also a key factor in purchasing decisions.
The AthlonTM X-ray tube in SOMATOM Pro.Pulse is one of our most robust and efficient tubes. Also, its high tube power reserves of 825 mA even at 70 kV allows you to considerably reduce contrast media – and thus examination costs.
