Siemens Somatom Definition Edge

Siemens Somatom Definition Edge – General Information

The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge CT scanner  supports hospitals and clinics in delivering accurate results across many clinical areas. It helps improve daily workflow while keeping radiation dose as low as possible. This system is well suited for cardiac care, emergency imaging, and oncology, and it supports clear image quality for a wide range of patients.

With fast scan speeds, dose-saving features, and smart software, the Siemens Somatom Definition Edge helps make CT exams more efficient and consistent.

Support for cardiac imaging

The system offers tools for detailed heart and vascular imaging. It helps plan TAVI procedures using low-kV settings and makes plaque differentiation part of daily practice. The scanner’s speed and resolution support reliable results, even for patients with high heart rates.

• Scan speed up to 23 cm/sec 
• Rotation speed of 0.28 seconds 
• 0.5 mm slices for better image detail 
• Triple rule-out scanning for chest pain evaluation

Designed for emergency situations

In emergency care, time and image clarity are important. This scanner helps reduce door-to-image time and can scan patients of different sizes, from children to adults with obesity. Features like iMAR help reduce metal artifacts, and fast pitch settings support quick scans with fewer motion issues.

• Pediatric protocols with low-dose 70 kV imaging 
• Fast pitch (up to 1.7) and short breath-hold times 
• Metal artifact reduction with iMAR 

Automated spine and alignment tools

Tools for oncology imaging

For cancer care, the scanner supports early tumor detection and therapy monitoring. It uses low-dose imaging without affecting image quality. With advanced reconstruction methods like ADMIRE and Tin Filter technology, it helps track changes over time while limiting radiation exposure.

• Low-dose scans with SAFIRE and ADMIRE 
• Tin Filter for non-contrast studies 
• Dual Energy imaging with TwinBeam technology 
• Tools for therapy response assessment 

Simple workflows and post-processing

The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge includes syngo.via software and Rapid Results technology to help manage images quickly. These tools support automatic processing and reporting, helping staff stay focused on patient care.

The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge offers reliable performance for a variety of clinical needs. It supports fast, clear imaging with attention to dose management and workflow efficiency. With the Siemens Somatom Definition Edge, departments can handle daily imaging tasks with greater consistency and ease.
