SOMATOM X.ceed
with myExam Companion
Intelligent imaging. Exceeding excellence.

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.

Emergency imaging

In 2019, 39% of all CT procedures were performed on an emergency basis.*

^*_{IMV (2019): CT Market Outlook Report.}

Cardiac CT

From 2011 to 2019, CTAs increased by 13%, while other cardiac procedures more than doubled, from 1.4 to 3.0 m.*

^*_{IMV (2019): CT Market Outlook Report.}

Interventions

Almost half of sites in the USA performed at least three CT-guided interventions per day.*

Clinical Use

Elite performance from door to diagnosis

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.

Find out how SOMATOM X.ceed masters even challenging clinical situations with ease.

Experience how you can master the most challenging cases at low dose – with the benchmark scanner metrics of SOMATOM X.ceed.
