Siemens Somatom Definition Flash 128 CT Scanner

Product Description: The Siemens Somatom Definition Flash is a revolutionary CT scanner built on second-generation Dual Source technology, which utilizes two X-ray tubes and two Stellar detectors simultaneously. This powerful combination enables an ultra-fast gantry rotation of just 0.28 seconds, with a temporal resolution of 75 ms, allowing for motion-free images of the heart without the need for beta-blockers or sedation. The system’s advanced technologies, including CARE Dose4D and the Selective Photon Shield, deliver exceptional image quality with radiation doses as low as 1 mSv for a cardiac scan, a significant reduction compared to conventional systems. With a wide gantry aperture of 78 cm and a patient table capable of supporting up to 676 lbs, the Definition Flash is a versatile and patient-friendly solution for even the most challenging cases.
