SOMATOM X.platform scanners overview

As the number and complexity of radiological procedures increases, demands on staff are reaching unsustainable levels – impacting image quality. Too often, the full potential of CT scanners remains untapped. In addition to high-resolution, high-speed, and low-dose imaging, the SOMATOM X. platform also offers intelligent imaging with user guidance. myExam Companion and myNeedle Companion support excellent clinical decisions and allow users of different skill levels to unlock the systems’ potential.
