ROUTINE HIGH RESOLUTION CT DOSE IMPROVED WORKFLOW Our push Other CT venders claim high resolution as specification, but there are some limitations with dose penalty or scan parameter. Our approach is more than specification. You can use high resolution kernel in in more routine cases with fewer tradoffs . Low dose is always a priority as CT vender. Your priority must be also high image quality at low dose. Our concept of ASiR-V development was as much as low dose imaging in routine. ASiR-V that combined Veo dose performance and ASiR workflow will help your routine exams and patient. Care needs. Past 10 years, scan speed was improved dramatically, but please consider entire workflow from patient setting to release. Scan speed is less than 5sec in majority case, other time is for patient setting etc... Our unique workflow helps to improve entire exam time, up to 40% and which may help you improve patient throughput Siemens answer We are leading vender for high resolution with Z-sharp or UHR mode, and enabling 0.3mm resolution. Also we can do same approach with Safire… We also have Safire that has IR technology. Also Stellar detector is low noise design. No information on Siemens’ product data sheet or brochure Our response Can Siemens broadly use those features? Ask about dose performance. Confirm Safire claim. Their claim is dose. Also ask them the evidence that Safire can keep resolution. The latest IR technology for Siemens is Admire, but it is only for Force so far. Safire is no longer the latest… Yes. Stellar is low noise design. Yes. we have 40% workflow evidence*.

0.28 SEC ROTATION 100 KW GENERATOR 0.3 MM SPATIAL RESOLUTION Siemens push Our rotation speed is the best in class . Revolution EVO is 0.35 sec rotation speed. Especially cardiac studies need fast rotation speed for Image quality… Revolution EVO is just 72 kW system…. this will cause IQ issues with noise, especially for obese patients We have Z-sharp, UHR mode and realize best spatial resolution in this segment Our answer For cardiac, we have SSF, intelligent motion correction that improves temporal resolution Rotation speed is one of the pieces that define scan coverage speed. Please check their coverage speed. Their brochure says scan speed is 11 sec in the abdomen… Revolution EVO is just 2 to 3 sec Why do you need 100 kW generator… must be to reduce noise for obese patients… No problem! Revolution EVO has ASiR-V which can reduce noise up to 90% 10 years ago, generator power directly related with Image quality… today, better reconstruction technology is helping to eliminate the need for higher generator power Yes, Z-sharp or UHR mode are good technologies to enhance resolution, but there are may be some limitations such as FOV or pitch. Also ask dose efficiency. Our approach is without dose penalty and tradoffs Incidentally, our specification is higher than the EDGE at 0.28 mm How to disarm the specifications MICT Standard PowerPoint Template | 9 May 2014 User footer as needed 9 Not for use in the US.

The electronics of the detector elements are fully integrated in the photodiode. I t is possible to miniaturize the electronic components on the detector elements. When comparing conventional CT technology with the SOMATOM Definition Edge and the Stellar Detector with True Signal Technology , the resulting noise is more or less the same for high signals. Our Answer Siemens Claim Our offering is Clarity imaging chain. To get maximum clinical performance, you need to optimize the complete system from X-ray tube to IR reconstruction. Stellar is just one component of a CT system. Clarity Imaging Chain provides enhancement of spatial resolution up to 20% compared with previous technology.

Edge is claiming 0.28sec, 1.7 helical pitch and 230mm/sec, but actually: Spine (Page 22) : 230mm in 7.6sec, Rotation speed : 1.0sec Chest (Page28) : 155mm in 1.5sec, Rotation speed : 0.5sec Abdomen (Page 30) : 245mm in 11sec. Rotations speed : 0.5sec Finding For routine scan, rotation speed would be 0.5 or 1.0 sec. Edge does not have variable scan speed.

This allows a scan speed of up to 230 mm/sec. Clinically, this means scanning the whole heart in half a second, a 50 cm thorax in roughly two seconds or performing a two-meter scan of the entire body in nearly eight-and-a-half seconds, all at a spatial resolution of up to 0.30 mm.

Prime has AIDR3D as standard that is up to 75% radiation dose reduction. Environmentally conscious products. Improvements have been made via: reduction of overall weight less acoustic noise generation smaller installation space 50% reduction in heat generation Our answer Yes, their system is 160 sl CT, but detector width is both 40 mm. GE is 0.625 mm x 64 row. Toshiba is 0.5 mm x 80 row. They are also pushing 0.5 mm slice thickness, but confirm that important thing is effective slice thickness. Look for LP/cm data on data sheet.
