Changing views on patient diversity — with personalized scanning
Scan virtually all patients with diagnostic confidence.

  • Get powerful images of obese patients: With SOMATOM Edge Plus, you can obtain sharp and
    rich-in-contrast images at high speed and low dose even with large patients.
  • Gently scan dose-sensitive patients: Minimize the need for sedation and allow low-dose scans for children with High Power at low kV and integrated CARE Child technology.
  • Freeze motion when your patient can't: Gain excellent image quality within seconds for emergency cases due to the combination of High Power reserves with high coverage of up to 230 mm/s in clinical routine.

Changing views on clinical paradigms — with advanced imaging
Gain new diagnostic insights like functional information and tissue characterization, acquired with no dose or time penalty.

  • See more than ever before with tin-filtered scanning: Shield patients from clinically irrelevant dose and use CT for a wider application range with our Tin Filter technology.
  • Add dynamic imaging to your clinical routine: Make dynamic imaging an everyday method for nearly all patients and anatomical regions at the right dose and contrast-to-noise ratio. 
  • Perform advanced quantitative imaging with no dose penalty: Eliminate additional non- contrast scans by creating virtual ones – backed by our unique TwinBeam Dual Energy technology.

Changing views on patient positioning — with automated workflows
Save time and achieve consistent results with smart automation for fast, precise positioning, scanning and postprocessing.

  • Safeguard correct and consistent positioning: The FAST Integrated Workflow with FAST 3D Camera helps your team acquire manage tight schedules by getting scans right the first time.
  • Get closer to your patients: Set parameters without leaving your patients and offer them individual care with our Touch Panels on eye-level.
  • Simplify preparation of patients and scanner: Accelerate workflows and lower your dose, optimizing process efficiency and improving patient outcomes with the right software packages.
