CARE Profile automatically displays dose distribution for the planned examination, visualizing the impact of dose modulation used during the examination.
Cutting dose has become a high priority in the imaging community and is a major theme in the Siemens booth at this year’s RSNA meeting. Sami Atiya, CEO of the computed tomography business unit at Siemens Healthcare. In July 2011, upgrades will be available for installed Definition Flash systems.įAST CARE brings dose reduction and process optimization together in a single platform, according to Dr.Also that month, upgrades will be available for installed Definition AS scanners. In May 2011, CARE will be standard and FAST optional on new Somatom Definition Flash systems.In March 2011, all Somatom Definition AS configurations from entry level 20-slice to a premium 128-slice AS+ will come equipped with dose-reducing CARE technologies as standard features and workflow-optimizing FAST technologies as options.The technology platform and all its applications will be available within six months, as either standard or optional features on new systems. Natural consequences, according to the company, are faster, safer, and more reproducible results. The key is automation, as algorithms take over time-consuming tasks, suggest parameters for those affecting image quality and dose reduction, and standardize processes. It also cuts radiation dose and exam times.
FAST CARE (which stands for Fully Assisting Scanner Technologies and Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) simplifies workflow during scanning and the preparation of image reconstructions. Seeking to drive down patient radiation dose, Siemens Healthcare unveiled a new technology platform for its CT scanners, one that not only cuts dose but speeds the exam and promotes more efficient patient handling.
