The Dual Source Difference 

Individualized patient care – today.

Dual Source CT can propel your Radiology department into the future starting today. Twice as fast as single source scanners, and designed to handle even challenging CT imaging procedures, Dual Source systems provide unmatched power, speed, and precision.1 Tested and perfected for 20 years, this one-of-a kind technology brings clinical excellence and workflow efficiency to your CT procedures.

One-of-a kind CT technology

The Dual Source technology is one-of-a kind and has revolutionized clinical capabilities in many ways by using two X-ray sources and two detectors at the same time. Thanks to unrivaled power, speed, and precision, Dual Source CT allows you to obtain high-quality results in challenging and advanced imaging applications. With Dual Source technology, you can now face tomorrow's healthcare needs with confidence.  

Discover the Dual Source imaging modes

Dual Source CT offers essential imaging modes. They help you perform imaging procedures beyond the capabilities of single source scanners.

Fast temporal resolution

Dual Source CT can achieve temporal resolution even down to 66 milliseconds2 because both tubes work together during scans. No matter how demanding the application, you get artifact-free images beyond the physical limitations of single source scanners.

Differential diagnostic precision 

Support accurate diagnosis, automated for safety and efficiency

Since its introduction, users have employed Dual Source CT technology to push the boundaries of CT imaging. Examine patients with no need for beta blockers3 or breath-holding, and with low dose of contrast media and radiation. Dose-neutral Dual Energy supports quantified therapy evalutions. On-board automation enables safe, standardized, efficient workflows with reproducible precision. And there is still a world of applications to explore. Discover how Dual Source CT can help you in your (differential) diagnostic precision.

Clinical evidence

Whether in your daily routine or for complex clinical cases: our versatile Dual Source technologies deliver profound clinical images for both advanced and routine scenarios.

AI algorithms at work

Inside our CTs, specialized algorithms are hard at work. One set of algorithms provides AI-powered workflow, assisting operators with repetitive tasks, and supporting doctors with complex diagnostic decisions. A second set of algorithms is designed to keep your CT fleet up and running by monitoring the scanner’s vitals in real time, such as the condition of the X-ray tube.
