Tablet

  • Lightweight, high-resolution tablet gives you total freedom over how you work
  • With its Scan&GO technology, you just need a few steps for the entire scan
  • Start checking patients’ information as soon as you collect them from the waiting room, and then prepare the scan directly at the gantry
  • Stay with the patient for longer

Broaden your portfolio in preventive care
SOMATOM go.Now allows you to offer lung and colon screening. With sub-millimeter collimation in every scan, it provides high spatial resolution and helps improve the detection of occult lesions.

 

Profit from a low initial investment and reliable components

A key aim of the overall SOMATOM go. concept was to minimize your initial cost of investment. The result is a system that makes a Siemens Healthineers CT scanner more affordable than ever. In addition, the scanner components and underlying software algorithms were specifically chosen for reliability, remote serviceability, and extended tube lifetime.

Siemens Healthineers - CT scanner - SOMATOM go.Now - Flexible room concept

Flexible room concept

  • Save on valuable space by having scanner and workstation in one single room. With the “niche” setup, operators are fully protected while the X-ray is on.
  • Thanks to gantry-integrated computers, you no longer need to invest in a separate control room.
  • Alternative: position the workstation outside the room or opt for the traditional control room setup
Siemens Healthineers - CT scanner - SOMATOM go.Now - Reliable Components

Reliable components

  • Equipped with durable components that deliver outstanding reliability to keep the scanner running smoothly for longer
  • Experts from the Siemens Healthineers Support Center provide ad hoc support whenever needed and quickly help identify and resolve any issues that might occur via Smart Remote Service
  • Chronon® tube features a highly robust design and 8.75 MHU equivalent anode heat capacity with SAFIRE, built to surpass the performance of its predecessor.
