CT Neuro Engine is designed to answer the key questions that stroke team faces in diagnosis of ischemic stroke, such as excluding existence of hemorrhage, understanding of irreversibility of infarcted tissue, and determining portion of potentially salvageable tissue.

Siemens Adaptive 4D Spiral technology allows the possibility to adapt the coverage to virtually any organ size, allowing for full brain perfusion information, enabling a comprehensive view whole disease in stroke imaging.
Adaptive 4D Spiral capabilities are currently available to more than 300 CT scanners installed throughout the United States. It is available on SOMATOM Definition Flash, Definition, and Definition AS scanners, including the newly introduced, cost effective 20-slice configuration.
With Adaptive 4D Spiral, the Siemens CT scanners are able to address functional imaging (perfusion images of blood flow over time) specific to the organ being imaged. This allows Siemens to offer information beyond simple perfusion and into phase contrast CT. In the case of a stroke, physicians can use whole-organ perfusion imaging, not only for a small part of the brain, but for all of it.
Time Is Brain
"Time is Brain" -- a time until treatment impacts the level of damage caused by the stroke. In other words: the faster a stroke is treated, the better the odds that the patient could have a complete recovery, or, at the most, a mild disability. With Siemens CT stroke imaging, the stroke team can have the confidence in the imaging excellence and the speed of the data to make the best decision for the patient.
