Siemens SOMATOM Definition Flash CT Scanner

CT Scanner provides fast and accurate scanning with dose reduction, maximizes patient safety

The Siemens SOMATOM Definition Flash is a whole-body CT scanner that optimizes scan time and dose efficiency, allowing for successful imaging on a variety of patients. With thorax scans that take approximately 0.6 seconds, clinicians can get clear images, without a breath hold if necessary — increasing the scanner’s performance possibilities in trauma and critical care settings.

The Siemens SOMATOM Definition Flash CT Scanner is available New from Med Vest Technology. For more information, contact an Med Vest Technology representative today.

Features

• Full-featured CT scanner with record low scan times and radiation doses, maximizing patient comfort.
• Fast scan times ensure accurate imaging, even in challenging cases involving obese patients, trauma patients, restless patients, and more.
• Complete an entire thorax scan in less than a second, without a breath hold if necessary for intubated or critical care patients.
