Product Description: The Siemens Somatom Sensation 16 is a high-performance multi-slice helical CT scanner that provides a powerful combination of speed, image quality, and dose efficiency. This system, a leader in its class, features a Straton
X-ray tube with a heat storage capacity of 5.3 MHU, which is known for its fast cooling rates and longevity. It is equipped with z-Sharp
technology, which produces razor-sharp, high-resolution images by using two overlapping X-ray beams. A standout feature is the CARE Dose4D
dose management system, which automatically optimizes radiation dose for each patient without compromising image quality. With a fast rotation time of as low as 0.37 seconds, the Sensation 16 is highly efficient for routine diagnostics as well as advanced motion-sensitive applications like cardiovascular and non-invasive cardiac imaging.
