SOMATOM Force and SOMATOM Drive, which make up the company's dual source family of CT systems, also set new standards in image quality and ease of Dual Energy workflows. Rapid Results Technology allows the dual-source scanner to communicate directly with syngo.via for zero-click postprocessing. As a result, large Dual Energy CT datasets are sent automatically to the picture archiving and communications system (PACS). This task is now part of standard reconstructions, enabling standardized and consistent image quality independent of operator skills.
Customers with existing SOMATOM Force and SOMATOM Drive CT systems will have the option of retrofitting their systems with the new FAST 3D Camera.
