Who is this system a good fit for?

The Somatom Definition Edge is well suited for:

• Hospital radiology departments with cardiac imaging programs
• Emergency and trauma units requiring rapid turnaround
• Oncology centers focused on therapy monitoring
• Facilities upgrading from earlier 16-slice or 64-slice systems
• Providers prioritizing low-dose protocols across patient groups

For these environments, a used system can expand clinical capability while keeping capital investment predictable.

Managing clinical variability with confidence

Daily CT operations involve variability in heart rates, body types, and clinical urgency. The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge CT scanner is designed to maintain image consistency across these changing conditions.

Its fast rotation speed and thin-slice capability support reliable imaging even in patients with high heart rates or limited breath-hold capacity. Pediatric and bariatric patients can be scanned using tailored protocols designed to manage dose and maintain clarity.

Support for cardiac imaging

The system includes tools for heart and vascular imaging, supporting detailed assessment and planning.

Key capabilities include:

• Scan speed up to 23 cm per second
  
• Rotation time of 0.28 seconds
  
• 0.5 mm slice thickness for improved spatial resolution
  
• Triple rule-out scanning for chest pain evaluation

These features help reduce motion artifacts and support coronary imaging, even in challenging cases.

Designed for emergency situations

In emergency settings, speed and reliability are essential. The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge CT scanner supports rapid acquisition with fast pitch settings of up to 1.7 and short breath-hold requirements.

Operational advantages include:

• Reduced door-to-image time
  
• Pediatric protocols with 70 kV low-dose imaging
  
• Metal artifact reduction using iMAR
  
• Automated spine and alignment tools

These features help streamline imaging in trauma and acute care environments.

Tools for oncology imaging

For oncology workflows, the system supports tumor detection and therapy monitoring while managing radiation exposure. Technologies include:

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

These capabilities help track disease progression while maintaining dose awareness.

Workflow and post-processing integration

The Siemens Somatom Definition Edge integrates with syngo.via for structured image review and post-processing. Rapid Results technology supports automated processing and streamlined reporting. These tools help:

• Reduce manual workflow steps
  
• Improve reporting efficiency
  
• Support consistent protocol use
  
• Maintain stable daily throughput

Automation features simplify daily routines and reduce variability between operators.
