Qty Item Description
1 SOMATOM Force
The all new SOMATOM Force contains two Vectron X-ray tubes with unprecedented tube
current (2 x 1,300 mA) and generator power (2 x 120 kW). The StellarInfinity detector,
including TrueSignal and Edge Technology provides increased in plane resolution (1,840
channels) and ~ 50% increased z-coverage, compared to SOMATOM Definition Flash.
SOMATOM Force takes CT imaging where it has never gone before by routinely generating
ultra-thin 0.5 mm slices e.g. for most accurate stenosis, plaque and stent analysis and for low-
kV imaging without compromises, even in adults or obese patients at scan speeds up to 737
mm/s (opt.). Additionally, the all new measurement system sets the benchmark in low contrast
detectability. An object size of 2 mm, at a contrast difference of 3 HU, with a CTDIvol (Ø 32
cm) of only 12.3 mGy (with Phantom CATPHan (20 cm)) can be detected.
The all new SOMATOM Force gantry, with its powerful hollow shaft motor achieves maximum
rotation speeds of up to 0.25 seconds (opt.) resulting in 66 ms temporal resolution, enabling
you to freeze motion independent of heart rate. It features the industry leading Turbo Flash
mode, with a dynamic Field of View (FoV) of up to 50 cm, even in ultra-high pitch applications
(up to 737 mm/s table speeds, Opt.).
Besides, it enables reduction in dose, while it improves overall image quality (both high- and
low-contrast resolution) for all scans, resulting, e.g. in dose down to sub-mSv for cardiac
imaging and below. In its third generation, Dual Energy with Selective Photon Shield II (~ 30%
better energy separation, for more precise Dual Energy quantification), automatically provides
a second contrast for the best possible diagnosis without any extra dose at a Dual Energy
Field of View (FoV) of up to 35 cm at scan speeds up to 285 mm/s (opt.).

Description
The SOMATOM Force is Siemens' state-of-the-art high-end Dual Source CT that provides the possibility to scan
with Turbo Flash speed to be two steps ahead in
a) Clinical Excellence - At the top of our Dual Source CT portfolio, SOMATOM Force enables new levels of
image quality, clinical outcomes, and ultimately precision medicine. Examine patients without beta-
blockers, with no need for them to hold their breath, while providing the ability to reduce contrast agent
dosage. Make clearly quantified therapy evaluations with dose-neutral Dual Energy.
b) Workflow Performance - Automated technologies support safe, standardized, and highly efficient
workflows – allowing for appropriate dose and reproducible precision from the smallest to the tallest
patients.
c) Expert Leadership - Thinking beyond today, you’re connected to the future with an ever-growing expert
community, exclusive access to highest quality CT data in the market today and the tools to advanced your
research and clinical practice.
SOMATOM Force - the scanner that is able to scan:
- adults and obese patients at very low kV settings in order to save radiation**
- allows you routinely performing exams at 70-90 kV, even in adults. This may potentially reduce the amount of
contrast media needed. The SOMATOM Force scanner provides the ability to reduce contrast agent dosage,
which can improve patient safety
- for low dose early detection (e.g. in Lung and Colon)*
- with comparable air-to-soft tissue contrast (e.g. lung and colon) at significantly lower dose, compared to
Definition Flash)
- to scan soft tissue and the brain at new and higher low-contrast resolution
- with the Turbo Flash mode up to a FoV of 50 cm, dependent on the pitch (min. FoV 35 cm), making it suitable
for trauma and ED imaging, also in obese patients
- all organs for dynamic perfusion imaging (whole organ coverage) (opt.)
- 4D dynamic imaging at reduced doses, compared to Definition Flash (opt.)
- 4D dynamic imaging at higher temporal resolution and longer ranges (opt.)
- the whole heart in 4D dynamic myocardial stress perfusion (quantitative) (opt.)
- in Dual Energy without dose penalty at a very high precision for iodine quantification (opt.)
- in Dual Energy at a fast acquisition speed of up to 285 mm/s, at a larger FoV (35 cm) making it suitable for
ED/trauma imaging. (opt.)
- the heart in Dual Energy mode with a temporal resolution down to 66 ms (opt.)
- the heart routinely below 1 mSv, and selected patients even at 0.1 mSv (opt.)
- patients without the need for breath hold or holding still
- pediatric patients without controlled breathing
- thorax/heart/abdomen in about 0.2 s at a dose of <3 mSv
- to scan the heart even in the systolic phase with Turbo Flash mode (opt.)
Description
- to scan the body and the heart at an higher high-contrast resolution (standard: 22 lp/cm @ 0% MTF in x/y
plane (0.24 mm) and 16.7 lp/cm in z-direction (0.30 mm))
- to scan the lung at a slice width of down to 0.4 mm (opt.)
*The SOMATOM Force may achieve the same Contrast-to-Noise level (in terms of image pixel noise) in
the image at reduced dose.”
** "With the low kV / high mA capabilities of the VECTRON tube, SOMATOM Force allows scanning with a
very high tube current of up to 1300 mA at 70, 80 and 90 kV, such that a high tube output even for these
low kV settings can be achieved. Along with SOMATOM Force’s unique Turbo Flash Mode, this scan
configuration is also available for conventional spiral or sequential scanning.“
- at 66 ms temp. resolution for all heart rates (even atrial fibrillation) (opt.)
- obese patients up to 307 kg (opt.) with 78 cm bore and 2 x 120kW
- at up to 60% lower dose with iterative recon (SAFIRE)* at an unprecedented recon speed
* In clinical practice, the use of SAFIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size,
anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to
determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. The following
test method was used to determine a 54 to 60% dose reduction when using the SAFIRE reconstruction software.
Noise, CT numbers, homogeneity, low-contrast resolution and high contrast resolution were assessed in a
Gammex 438 phantom. Low dose data reconstructed with SAFIRE showed the same image quality compared to
full dose data based on this test. Data on file.
The SOMATOM Force is founded on the two fully-integrated Siemens' Stellar Infinity detector systems, with two
revolutionary Vectron X-ray sources, the Turbo Flash Spiral scanning up to 737 mm/s, the diagonal z-Sharp
technology, Dual Energy with Selective Photon Shield II and a range of proven CARE solutions from X-CARE to
the Adaptive Dose Shield.
Using Siemens' diagonal z-Sharp technology the SOMATOM Force can provide the fastest sub-millimeter
volume coverage at industry's highest spatial resolution. The high rotation time of 0.25 seconds delivers
excellent temporal resolution up to 66 ms independent from the heart rate.
The SOMATOM Force opens a door to new levels of patient friendliness with the speed to cover the entire
thorax in less than a second - if necessary even without a breath hold. A whole-body scan requires only five
seconds, while for perfusion or dynamic vascular imaging long-range scans become routine and pediatric scans
become sub-second procedures. Your patients will be off the table faster than ever before - with positive feelings
about their scan experience. Turbo Flash is also the solution for scanning your most difficult patients (i.e. obese
and trauma patients, restless children, patients who cannot hold their breath for long), thus causing no time-
consuming interruptions in your daily practice.
And now Siemens is once again redefining speed: the new SOMATOM
Force, with the new FAST CARE technology platform, allows you to maximize clinical outcomes - meaning you
will have the best possible clinical results, but with significantly fewer resources bound to the CT system. The
ultimate goal is to provide you with more time for patients and diagnosis - in effect, patient-centric productivity.
The complete examination - from scan preparation, scanning, reconstruction, and data assessment - is
streamlined, leading to a fast and reliable diagnosis with less patient burden. Ultimately, the combination of
highest image quality and highest patient-centric productivity is the lever to maximizing your clinical outcomes.
Maybe even more important - and impressive - is the significant reduction

in dose which allows e.g. for sub-mSv scanning in case of cardiac imaging
Furthermore, the third generation of dual source systems also enables the user to acquire Dual Energy data and
benefit from Dual Energy post processing without compromising image quality or dose. Due to the introduction of
the new Selective Photon Shield II, with an even further improved energy separation for more precise DE
quantification, each scan on the SOMATOM Force can now become a precise Dual Energy scan. At the same
time, X-CARE protects individual organs and the most radiation-sensitive body regions - for example, female
breasts - by accurately and efficiently minimizing exposure while preserving image quality.
With the new SOMATOM Force with FAST CARE, Siemens introduces several innovative Combined
Applications to Reduce Exposure (CARE). CARE kV, for instance, is the industry's first tool that automatically
solves the complex equation for optimal image quality at lowest possible dose for each individual CT exam while
considering tube voltage, tube current, and contrast changes at different voltages and attenuation. This allows
you to benefit from the industry's widest tube voltage range - not only 150 kV for bariatric imaging but now, if
necessary, also down to 70 kV for new safety and image quality standards, not only in pediatric imaging, but
Description
thanks to Vectron tube, The SOMATOM Force may also allow obese low kV imaging. Add SAFIRE*, our raw-
data-based iterative reconstruction and define low dose for all body regions to take best care of your patients'
well-being.
* In clinical practice, the use of SAFIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size,
determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.
The SOMATOM Force

System Overview
- SOMATOM Force Gantry

The SOMATOM Force gantry is founded on two fully-integrated Stellar Infinity Detector systems, with
two revolutionary Vectron X-ray sources, the Turbo Flash Spiral scanning up to 737 mm/s, the diagonal
z-Sharp technology, Dual Energy with Selective Photon Shield II and a range of proven CARE solutions
from the Adaptive Dose Shield to X-CARE.
The 78 cm large bore, the 200 cm scan range - with patient weight up to 307 kg (676 lbs) (opt.) - and
the 200 kW generator power, it can scan most acute patients independent of size or condition, helping
to save precious time from scan to diagnosis.
It's Ultrafast rotation time of 0.25 sec. (optional) leads to acquired (not reconstructed) 66 ms temporal
resolution to freeze any cardiac motion even in high and irregular heart rates.
The optional Dual Source Turbo Flash Spiral mode acquisition of 2 x 192 x 0.6 mm allows for increased
scan speed up to 737 mm/s e.g. for pediatric head or chest CT scans or routine sub-mSv heart
examinations in patients with stable/low heart rate and a weight of up to 90kg.
- Vectron tubes with diagonal z-Sharp Technology

The two Vectron sources provide cooling through an water-chilled e-catcher, closely mounted to the
rotating anode, for direct cooling of the anode
Utilizing the Turbo Flash Spiral scanning technology in combination with Siemens' own diagonal z-
Sharp Technology it routinely enables the industry's highest isotropic, scan field position and pitch
independent spatial resolution. This allows a highly beneficial combination of exceptional image detail
and unmatched sub-millimeter volume coverage of 737 mm/sec enabling whole body examinations
within sub-seconds and seconds, even without the need for breath hold - adapting to challenging
patients such as poly-trauma and incautious or uncooperative patients, leading to an improvement in
image quality (e.g. minimized motion artifacts) and patient comfort (e.g. no breath hold,).
In addition, the Vectron Tubes are equipped with the Adaptive Dose Shields world's first dynamic tube
collimation that protects the patient from clinically irrelevant radiation in every spiral scan.
- Stellar Infinity detector

The revolutionary Stellar detector, is designed to minimize electronic noise using Siemens' innovative
TrueSignal technology. It thus significantly improves the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). In combination with
Siemens' proprietary UFC scintillator the SOMATOM Force acquires 2 x 192 slices per rotation at
outstanding dose efficiency.
Herein the new Stellar Infinity detector hardware minimizes electronic noise and cross-talk, through its
TrueSignal technology.
By further applying Edge Technology the spatial resolution can now be increased to an unprecedented
0.30 mm (16.7 lp/cm) in daily clinical routine, which makes it finally suitable for clinical practice as the
signal-to-noise ratio is adequate without an additional increase in dose.
In combination with UHR (optional), it delivers a slice width of unprecedented 0.4 mm allowing
visualizing extremely small anatomical structures with exceptional quality, for example the complex
inner-ear bones,.
- Power Generator
The generator power of up to 2 x 120 kW delivers sufficient resources for every clinical challenge and
thus helps to acquire exceptional image quality and save precious time from scan to diagnosis.
Description
- Patient table
The patient table with a scan range of up to 200 cm and a load capacity of up to 307 kg / 676 lbs.
(optional) in combination with the 78 cm gantry diameter of the SOMATOM Force virtually adapts to any
patient independent of size or condition thus helping to avoid patient exclusions.
- FAST CARE
With Siemens' unique FAST CARE platform, the SOMATOM Force is set to raise the standard of
patient-centric productivity. Utilizing FAST - Fully Assisting Scanner Technologies -, typically time-
consuming and complex procedures during the scan process are extremely simplified and automated,
not only improving workflow efficiency, but optimizing the overall clinical outcome by creating
reproducible results, making diagnosis more reliable and reducing patient burden through streamlined
examinations. For example FAST Spine automatically labels all vertebrae and discs after the data
acquisition and prepares typical reconstruction ranges rapidly in spine examinations.
- The World’s First FAST Integrated Workflow (opt.)

The FAST 3D camera captures the patient’s shape, position, and height in three dimensions.
Using infrared measurement, it even recognizes body contours: for example, when people are wearing
masking clothes or blankets.
The 3D camera is equipped with an infrared light source and sensor as well as an RGB camera. It is
positioned above the patient table and in front of the gantry.
A live image of the patient is displayed on the Touch Panel and a planning image can be taken and
displayed.
Algorithms use the measured data to calculate:

- The body regions in z-direction
- The patient’s direction – “head-first versus feet-first” as well as “prone versus supine”
- The table height and patient thickness
- FAST Isocentering, at the push of a button, provides the correct isocenter position, enabling
the right dose modulation and consistent images.
- FAST Range supports scanning the correct body region in the topogram with no cut-off – by
aligning the automatically identified anatomical position with the protocol.
- FAST Direction helps safeguard the right scan direction of the topogram, which is crucial
when moving the table with infused patients.
The 3D camera system consists of several components.

- Ceiling flange: The ceiling flange covers the fixation to the concrete or suspended ceiling.
- Ceiling extension: The length of the ceiling extension is variable to allow an installation of the
3D camera at different room heights.
- Camera Interface Computer (CIC): The computer is connected to the 3D camera and the
syngo Acquisition Workplace.
- 3D camera: The camera is used to get the data of the patient structure in three dimensions.
FAST Topo - enables faster scan speeds in topograms, which minimizes breath-hold artifacts. It also has
the potential to decrease the topogram dose.
FAST Planning - assists the scan and reconstruction planning, based on a topogram, to provide an
easier, faster and standardized workflow in CT scanning. FAST Planning features the selection of the
anatomical region of interest from a list prospectively defined scan and reconstruction ranges, automatic
detection of the scan region(s) of interest and proposal of corresponding scan range(s) in the topogram
(in a narrow or wide lateral FoV), optimized FoV and automatic iso-center adaptation for Head scans.
FAST 3D Align - automatically corrects misalignment of anatomic structures and organs of the patient. It
Description
aligns those to fit it to the selected reconstruction plane for a highly automated reconstruction workflow.
Additionally it minimizes the black area in the image by automatically adjusting the recon field of view.
FAST 3D Align works in combination with Workstream 4D.
- Low Dose with CARE

Siemens has developed many significant products and protocols that follow the “As Low as Reasonably
Achievable” (ALARA) principle to reduce radiation dose to the lowest possible level. This desire for as
little radiation exposure as possible lies at the heart of our CARE - Combined Applications to Reduce
Exposure - research and development philosophy. The SOMATOM Force consequently offers a unique
portfolio of dose saving features; many of them being industry's first like the Adaptive Dose Shield,
CARE kV or 70kV scan modes. Using Siemens' CARE solutions radiation dose can be significantly
reduced compared to conventional CT systems.
Clinical Applications
The SOMATOM Force introduces the third generation of Siemens Dual Source Dual Energy imaging, proven by
more than 1.500 installations worldwide and a wide range of clinical publications. With the all-new Selective
Photon Shield II and a larger field of view (500 mm FoV visual, 350 mm full Dual Energy FoV), it offers up to
30% increased energy separation.
SOMATOM Force now allows DE scanning with 80 kV/150 kV, 90 kV/150 kV and 100/150 kV with Sn (tin) filtration.
Thus is adjusted even for larger patients, all the while the additional diagnostic information of Dual Energy is
available without additional dose
Adaptive 4D Spiral
With its unique Adaptive 4D Spiral plus scan mode (optional) the SOMATOM Force overcomes the coverage
limitations in dynamic CT imaging when using a static detector and allows for up to 80 cm coverage in dynamic CT
imaging. It even enables for 4D CT DSA evaluation.
3D Interventional Suite
In addition the SOMATOM Force optionally offers a built in 3D minimal invasive suite, enabling 3D guided
interventions with full control of the radiologist due to the all-new wireless in-room control.
Neuro BestContrast
Neuro head image quality is significantly improved with Neuro BestContrast, by optimizing grey/white matter
differentiation without increase in radiation dose.
HeartView
With the HeartView CT option the SOMATOM Force achieves the industry's lowest heart rate independent
temporal resolution of 66 ms. It allows to reliably scan all heart rates - even highest and irregular heart rates (atrial
fibrillation), e.g. in acute chest pain evaluation, in coronary visualization, dynamic myocardial stress perfusion
imaging and in functional analysis of the heart.
Heart Perfusion
The optional Heart Perfusion mode, for quantitative, dynamic myocardial stress perfusion imaging, is a sequence
shuttle mode to dynamically cover up to approximately twice the detector width for myocardial perfusion studies of
up to 105 mm, with sufficient temporal resolution of 66 ms even for high heart rates. This it provides sufficient
temporal resolution even for high heart rates.

2. Tube Assembly:
Source: The two Vectron sources provide cooling through an water-chilled e-catcher, closely mounted to the
rotating anode, that significantly reduces extrafocal radiation,for reliable performance when operating two x-ray
sources at an ultrafast rotation time of 0.25 sec.
- 2 x Vectron high performance X-ray source

Description
The unique Vectron X-ray source with diagonal z-Sharp technology utilizes an electron beam that is accurately and
rapidly deflected, creating two precise focal spots alternating multiple thousand times per second. This doubles the
X-ray projections reaching each detector element. The two overlapping projections result in an oversampling in z -
direction. The resulting measurements interleave half a detector slice width, doubling the scan information without
a corresponding increase in dose. Siemens' Stellar Infinity Detector hardware and the highly integrated 2 x 192-
slice detector electronics enable a virtually simultaneous readout of two projections for each detector element - 2 x
2 x 96 slices for every viewing angle - resulting in a full 2 x 192-slice acquisition. Diagonal z-Sharp technology,
utilizing the Vectron X-ray sources and the Stellar Infinity detector hardware, provides scan speed independent
visualization of 0.33 mm isotropic voxels and a corresponding elimination of spiral artifacts in the daily clinical
routine at any position within the scan field.
- 2 x 192-slice acquisition with diagonal z-Sharp technology

- routine 0.5 mm slice with 0.3 mm cross-plane resolution
- 0.4 mm slice with extra-large UHR comb (32 x 0.6 Collimation) (opt.) and a spatial resolution of 32 Ip/cm (0.16
mm)
- Industry's highest isotropic and scan field position independent
spatial resolution of 0.33 mm voxel size
- Visualization of the smallest anatomical structures with exceptional image
quality in complex inner-ear bones, lungs or small sized vessels such as the intracranial, mesenterical and
coronary system. Based on that accurate stenosis measurements or stent planning with outstanding precision
are enabled.

kV are automatically pre-selected through CARE kV in finest 10 kV steps based on patient body habitus and
examination type for lowest possible dose at constant signal to noise ratio (image quality). The generator can
maintain very high tube current (up to 2 x 1.300 mA) even during low-kV imaging thus allowing to benefit from
radiation dose or contrast media concentration reduction - from pediatric to adult patients. "Early clinical
experience based on imaging of the left ventricle and aortic root (TAVI studies) demonstrate that a
reduction of contrast media administration may be possible using SOMATOM Force´s Turbo Flash Mode
and its low kV / High mA capabilities."

8. syngo User Software:

syngo features an intuitive and thus easy-to-learn user interface developed from prototypes in close cooperation
with users. syngo visualizes the examination in individual process steps on so-called task cards, such as patient
registration or examination card. A large number of functions and input parameters as well as the language used
can be selected according to individual requirements. Frequently repeated processes can be automated and
saved.
Patient registration:
The system can accept patient data in different ways. These include entering the data via keyboard or transfer of a
work list via network. DICOM work list: Software module for accepting lists of patient data and exam requirements
from a Radiology Information Systems (RIS) via DICOM Get Work list functionality. The program enables very
efficient working and enables consistent patient data. In emergency cases, fast registration is possible. Here the
system automatically assigns an emergency number which can later be replaced by the actual patient number.
The input profile can be designed individually.
Examination card:
The SOMATOM Force is delivered with a large number of predefined examination protocols (e.g. for pediatric
applications), making examination planning a very fast and efficient procedure. Example: A three-phase
examination of the liver available as independent protocol only needs to be adapted to the patient's individual
situation. Each examination is represented pictorially as a so-called "chronicle", which views the individual phases
of the examination separately. This has the advantage that the individual phases of the examination can be
accessed quickly and selectively and changes to the protocol can be made easily in graphical mode via drag-and-
drop using the mouse. With a so-called routine window, it is possible to adapt individual examination parameters,
representing a submenu of the essential parameters and giving information at a glance about the parameterization
of the examination.
Viewing card:
On the viewing card it is possible to move interactively with the mouse through the image volume of the ongoing
examination. The images of different examinations can be displayed simultaneously for comparison. A large
number of functions are available for evaluation, documentation and archiving.
Filming card:
A virtual film sheet shows a 1:1 display of the film sheets to be printed out, thus enabling an effective preview of
filming jobs and rewindowing of the images, as well as providing a large number of evaluation functions. Layout
changes are possible interactively with up to 64 images. The printout parameters for the autofilming process
running in parallel to acquisition or reconstruction are also defined with the filming card. Freely selectable
positioning of images onto film sheet, configurable image text.
3D card:
Secondary reconstruction calculation: Real-time MPR for real-time reformatting of secondary reconstructions. Slice
orientation: coronary, sagittal, oblique and double-oblique. Secondary reconstructions can be determined from the
topogram, other MPR views or from a 3D surface reconstruction. Reconstruction with selectable slice thickness.

syngo WorkStream 4D, now also for Dual Energy Data (Called FAST DE) is the standardized workflow guide for
confident patient management. Up to 8 pre definable axial, coronal, sagittal and oblique MPR and MIP up to sub
mm recon jobs possible. The Asynchronous Recon allows for multiple image reconstructions and reformats,
parallel to scanning. With this feature, up to eight reconstruction job requests can be loaded into a scan protocol.
Immediately upon completion of the scan acquisition, these reconstruction jobs are automatically executed in the
background without delaying the start of next patient examination. WorkStream4D eliminates manual
Description
reconstruction steps and reduces the data volume up to a factor of 10, since virtually all diagnostic information is
captured in 3D slices.
CT Angio: Software for the reconstruction of angular projections from the images of a spiral data record for the
display and diagnosis e.g. of aneurysms, plaques, stenoses, vascular anomalies or vascular origins. MIP:
Maximum Intensity Projection, MinIP: Minimum Intensity Projection and Thin MIP available. Interfering or irrelevant
parts of the image can be eliminated with the integrated volume editor. The angular projections are reconstructed
around a definable axis, whereby the maximum CT values in this direction are selected for each angular projection.
The resulting images can be viewed with the CINE function as a series of images with a 3D image effect.
3D Display: Software for the three-dimensional display of surfaces of a body region from a series of continuous
slices, for display and analysis of complex anatomies, e.g. the visceral cranium, pelvis, hips, for the purpose of
planning surgical interventions. The 3D objects can be tilted and rotated interactively on the monitor and can also
be displayed in relation to multiplanar reconstruction (MPR).
Volume card: Volume scans of tissues and organs, based on a "region-growing" algorithm and interactive ROI
definition.
DynEva card: Software for dynamic evaluation of the contrast enhancement in organs and types of tissues,
enabling the reconstruction of
- Time-density curves (up to 5 ROIs)
- Peak-enhancement images
- Time-to-peak images.
Video Capture and Editing Tool: Software contains integrated solution for imaging and visualization of 4D
information, allowing the generation and editing of video files for improved diagnoses, recording and teaching. A
wide range of multimedia formats is supported, e.g. AVI, Flash (SWF), GIF, QuickTime (MOV), streaming video.
Additional task cards available as an option.

Description
range of up to 22 cm. Moreover it allows dynamic studies up to a scan range of 80 cm, e.g. after aortic stent graft
operation or for dynamic vascular (filling) studies of the peripheral vessels.
The intelligent algorithm Neuro BestContrast improves native head image quality especially grey/white matter
differentiation. Images are decomposed into high and medium/low spatial frequencies. While relevant tissue
information is contained in medium and low frequencies noise is dominated by high frequencies. Separate
processing of medium and low frequency information improves the tissue contrast without amplifying image noise
resulting in a better signal to noise ratio.
Image reconstruction and storage: Image reconstruction in full resolution (512 x 512 matrix) takes place during the
examination, with full cone beam reconstruction, diagonal z-Sharp Technology and full image quality.

11. Integrated CARE Solutions:

UFC based Stellar Infinity Detector: Dose reduction compared to conventional CT detectors. High efficiency for low
mAs requirements enable
best possible image quality with low patient dose at increased resolution and ~50% increased z-coverage, in
comparison to Definition Flash
The new and ultra-fast Adaptive Dose Shield, powered by SiDaNet (Siemens Data Network Bus): world's first
dynamic tube collimation that protects the patient from clinically irrelevant radiation in every spiral scan and newly
also in Perfusion scans, such as the Adaptive 4D Spiral for significant additional dose reductions. Both tubes are
equipped with an Adaptive Dose Shield, that is controlled and positioned through SiDaNet, and X-CARE, allow to
reduce direct peripheral exposure in Spiral CT for the most dose-sensitive body regions while preserving constant
Description
high image quality e.g. the breast during a chest CT exam or the eye lenses during neuro CT exams. Adaptive
Dose Shield becomes now also available for 4D dynamic imaging through ultrafast blade drives and the fast
control of SiDaNet bus communication.
X-CARE: Partial scanning to reduce direct X-ray exposure for the most dose-sensitive body regions, e.g. the
breasts, thyroid gland or eye lens.
Turbo Flash Spiral scanning: Ultra-fast spiral scanning in Dual Source mode with up to 737 mm/s, allows for
additional dose saving especially in ECG-triggered scans*, e.g., cardiac or chest scanning (* optional)
CARE Dose4D uses at first an automated adjustment of the dose level depending on patient size based on the
attenuation values obtained from the standard (singular) topogram along the patient z axis. In addition CARE
Dose4D uses a real-time adaptation of the tube current during the scan based on the actual attenuation of the X-
ray beam measured around the patient. It delivers significant x-ray dose reduction for all body regions scanned
compared with standard sequence or spiral scanning;
The projections are evaluated per second to optimize the mA level instantaneously. In combination with the
extreme adjustment speed of the tube current, CARE Dose4D enables consistent high quality images in every
anatomical position. Thinner axial slices and/or longer scan ranges become possible because of reduced tube
loading; It also enables ultra-low dose examinations for pediatric patients.
CARE Filter: Specially designed X-ray exposure bow-tie filter installed at the tube collimator. Dose reduction with
optimized image quality. Additional protocol dependent bow-tie filtration e.g. cardiac and pediatric body protocols.
CARE kV
Industries first automated, exam-specific voltage setting to optimize contrast-to-noise-ratio and significantly reduce
dose.
Pediatric Protocols: Special examination protocols with 70 and 80 kV and a large range of adjustable mAs values
for optimum adaptation of the radiation exposure to the age and weight of the child to be examined.
CARE Topo: Real-time topogram, Manual interruption possible once desired anatomy has been imaged.
CARE Bolus: Operating mode for CM-enhancement triggered data acquisition. The objective is optimum utilization
of the contrast medium bolus in its "plateau" phase in the target organ. This option has been especially adapted to
the increased speed and timing requirements resulting from the multirow capability and faster rotation. The CM
enhancement is observed via monitoring scans in a user-defined ROI with a trigger threshold. As soon as the
enhancement reaches its predefined threshold, the spiral scan is triggered as quickly as possible. License for
software use on one modality.

than +10m. Additional hoses for 10m and 20m distance are available to extend the distance between the CT
gantry and the indoor unit to 50m.
If the distance between the cooling-system and the gantry is longer than 50m an optional additional pump unit is
needed.
Standard distance between water/water unit and remote water/air exchanger is 40m with a height difference of not
more than +20m. For longer distance between water/water unit and remote water/air exchanger the tube diameter
must expand or an optional additional pump is needed.

Innovating for the Patient, as every patient is different they need their own distinct parameters. With the
SOMATOM Force we combine our market leading applications to make this the most distinct scanner for our
customers.
Including:
SureView - Siemens unique pitch independent dose solution
Turbo Flash Spiral - Fast spiral scanning mode with up to 737 mm/s, reducing motion artifacts.
Adaptive Dose Shield - world's first dynamic tube collimation that protects the patient from clinically irrelevant
radiation in every spiral scan.
CARE Dose 4D - uses at first an automated adjustment of the dose level depending on patient size based on the
attenuation values obtained from the standard (singular) topogram along the patient z axis. In addition, CARE
Dose4D uses a real-time adaptation of the tube current during the scan based on the actual attenuation of the X-
ray beam measured around the patient. It delivers significant x-ray dose reduction for all body regions scanned
compared with standard sequence or spiral scanning; Projections are evaluated to optimize the mA level
instantaneously. In combination with the extreme adjustment speed of the tube current, CARE Dose4Denables
consistent high quality images in every anatomical position. Thinner axial slices and/or longer scan ranges become
possible because of reduced tube loading; it also enables ultra-low dose examinations for pediatric patients.
CARE kV – The first automated, organ-sensitive voltage setting tool to improve image quality and contrast-to-
Description
noise-ratio while optimizing and potentially reducing dose.
CARE Child - Dedicated pediatric CT imaging, including 70 kV scan modes and specific CARE Dose4D curves
and Pediatric Protocols - Special examination protocols with 80 kV and a large range of adjustable mAs values for
optimum adaptation of the radiation exposure to the age and weight of the child to be examined.
CARE Profile - Visualization of the dose distribution along the topogram prior to the scan
CARE Dashboard - Visualization of activated dose reduction features and technologies for each scan range of an
examination to analyze and manage the dose to be applied in the scan
CARE Bolus - Operating mode for CM-enhancement triggered data acquisition. The objective is optimum utilization
of the contrast medium bolus in its "plateau" phase in the target organ. This option has been especially adapted to
the increased speed and timing requirements resulting from the multirow capability and faster rotation. The CM
enhancement is observed via monitoring scans in a user-defined ROI with a trigger threshold. As soon as the
enhancement reaches its predefined threshold, the spiral scan is triggered as quickly as possible.
Dose MAP - Siemens unique solution to support dose monitoring, protocol management and benchmarking
FAST Adjust - assists the user to handle system settings in a fast and easy way by automatically solving conflicts
within user defined limits by a single click on the FAST Adjust button. The limits for scan time and tube current per
scan are defined via the Scan Protocol Assistant. FAST Adjust offers an undo functionality to return to previously
set values.
Dose reduction with CT has been limited by the currently used filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction
algorithm. When using this conventional reconstruction of acquired raw data into image data, a trade-off between
spatial resolution and image noise has to be considered. Higher spatial resolution increases the ability to see the
smallest detail; however, it is directly correlated with increased image noise in standard filtered back projection
reconstructions as they are used in CT scanners today.
Iterative reconstruction approaches allow decoupling of spatial resolution and image noise.
With the next generation of iterative reconstruction, ADMIRE (Advanced Modeled Iterative REconstruction)
correction loops are introduced into the image generation process next to a more precise modeling of geometry
and hardware components.
Superb details and positive impact on reconstructed image quality in comparison to SAFIRE.
These iteration loops utilize raw-data information to significantly improve image quality.
A statistical weighting of all projections and measuring points in the raw data domain improve the reconstructed
image quality.
Additionally, intelligent model based noise cancellation iteration will take place in the image domain. This iteration
distinguishes anatomical structures from noise and results in a natural image impression* and excellent IQ.
*In terms of pixel noise structure
Thick slice reconstruction allows for PACS-ready workflow.

This new iterative reconstruction technique results in an excellent image quality with reduced pixel noise in
comparison to SAFIRE and increased image sharpness that can be translated to dose savings for a wide range of
clinical applications. ADMIRE shows a benefit in higher noise reduction performance in thicker than 3mm in
comparison to SAFIRE and therefore the impact of ADMIRE is visible on the PACS-station.
Reader-ready reconstructions deliver the desired image impression on the fly

The new IRS will support the reconstruction performance so that ADMIRE is suitable for the daily routine and it
creates Reader-Ready Reconstructions with a reconstruction speed of up to 20 images/second.
Different ADMIRE kernels and five reconstruction strengths can be chosen to tailor the results of ADMIRE to the
personal requirements.
To experience which strength fits to the clinical need or personal demand, a preview functionality is available.
*In clinical practice, the use of ADMIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size,
determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.
Description
CARE Contrast III supports a smart coupling of the CT system and the contrast medium injector to provide an
easier, faster and safer contrast workflow in CT scanning. It facilitates contrast enhanced clinical workflow by
synchronizing CT scan and contrast media injection using a single button control from either the scanner or the
injector. It speeds up clinical workflow and allows efficient and confident monitoring of patients for extravasation
during contrast media injection and scan delay countdown, even if only one Technologist/Radiographer is present.
Scanner and power injector have CE approval according to Medical Device Directive, Art. 12 for combined medical
devices. The CE approval is valid for specific combinations of scanner and injector models and their respective
software versions.
CARE Contrast III is based on the international standard for the communication between CT and injector
(CANopen Application profile for medical diagnostic add-on modules, Part 2: Injector). Due to its open interface
technology it is ready for future applications.
In addition, the injection parameters are automatically transferred to the patient protocol, the e-logbook and to
MPPS (if configured) thus completing the data for the examination therein. With this, no separate documentation is
needed resulting in significant workflow improvements: e.g. the injector information is available from the PACS
when reading the images or it is accessible from the HIS/RIS. The injection parameters are also displayed on the
contrast card.
CARE Contrast III also fulfills CANopen 425, class 4. This includes contrast protocol definition on the CT scanner
(via Scan Protocol Assistant) and linking of contrast protocols with scan protocols. Next to the synchronized start of
scan and injection from either the scanner's user interface or the injector's user interface, CARE Contrast III
automatically transfers the injection parameters from the CT scanner to the injector.
Innovating for the Radiologist, as every patient is different, Radiologists also vary, and they have their own distinct
reconstruction and imaging requirements. With the SOMATOM Force we combine our market leading applications
to make reporting consistent, fast and simple for our customers
Includes:
VRT - Volume Rendering Technique standard on the 3D card.
Workstream 4D - the standardized workflow guide for confident patient management. Up to 8 pre definable axial,
coronal, sagittal and oblique MPR and MIP recon jobs possible. The Asynchronous Recon allows for multiple
image reconstructions and reformats, parallel to scanning. With this feature, up to eight reconstruction job requests
can be loaded into a scan protocol. Immediately upon completion of the scan acquisition, these reconstruction jobs
are automatically executed in the background without delaying the start of next patient examination.
WorkStream4D eliminates manual reconstruction steps and reduces the data volume up to a factor of 10, since
virtually all diagnostic information is captured in 3D slices.
Extended FoV - allows you to capture more information in just one exam, saving valuable time with emergency
patients. Up to 78 cm field of view.
The iMAR metal artifact reduction algorithm combines three successful approaches to reduce metal artifacts: beam
hardening correction (in sinogram regions of less severe metal attenuation), normalized sinogram inpainting (in
sinogram regions of high metal attenuation), and frequency splitting (to mix back noise texture and sharp details
that are potentially lost during inpainting).
The correction process is then iteratively refined by repeating the normalized sinogram inpainting and the mixing
steps thanks to the Adaptive Sinogram Mixing.
Along with the algorithm comes the simple user interface of iMAR. Besides the typical reconstruction parameters it
only requires the user to select the desired protocol from a drop down menu which contains the following type of
implants: dental fillings, neuro coil, thoracic coil, hip implants, extremity implants, pacemakers, spine implants and
shoulder implants.
Utilizing Siemens unique Workstream 4D functionality, FAST Spine provides various modes that automatically
create anatomically orientated spine reconstructions based on a 3D volume. It provides a fast and standardized
workflow in routine spinal CT scanning. FAST Spine features automatic segmentation of the spinal canal,
automatic labeling of the vertebrae, anatomically oriented slices - (orthogonal to the spinal canal), coronal and
sagittal reconstructions which refer to the curvature of the spinal column and more. All modes offer the possibility
to adapt the results manually.
Description
Heart View – Heart View enables ECG controlled data acquisition and image reconstruction.
The package comprises:
HeartView CT option on the syngo Acquisition Workplace console for the ECG-controlled acquisition and
reconstruction of artifact free images of the heart.
The option supports adaptive prospective ECG-triggered sequence scanning and adaptive retrospective ECG-
gated spiral scanning to obtain CT images of the heart in defined phased of the cardiac cycle at a minimum
rotation time of 0.25 s (optional). With prospective ECG-triggered sequence scanning, quick scans are triggered by
ECG signals. Retrospective gating is based on a continuous spiral scan with simultaneous ECG recording. The
cardio spiral reconstruction allows volume imaging in selectable phases of the cardiac cycle.
With retrospective ECG-gated spiral scans the ECG signal can be edited for improved image quality in the case of
severe arrhythmia. A dedicated "Preview" tool enables the planning of the volume reconstruction during an optimal
cardiac phase on the basis of axial single slices. With ECG-pulsed control of the tube current, dose reduction can
be achieved with retrospective ECG-gated spiral scans. The special scan protocols “Cardio-Care“ and “Cardio-
Sharp“ offer a special filter technique for cardiac examinations for improved sharpness and a lower dose.
ECG-gated, prospectively triggered high-pitch Turbo Flash Spiral for scanning at highest volume coverage can be
used for:
- For high speed whole body examinations with up to 737 mm/s scan speed
- For fast thorax scans visualizing the aorta and the coronaries in one scan at very low contrast dose (e.g.
for TAVI/TAVR planning)
- Fast whole-body scanning of patients who cannot lie calm for longer time, e.g. geriatric and pediatric
patients (latter even w/o the need of sedation)
- For coronary CTA scanning of the heart in a quarter beat with a Dual Source acquisition mode at a
temporal resolution of 66 ms, acquired within a single diastolic phase (monophasic) allowing for lowest
possible doses down to <1 mSv
- With split-second thorax imaging of heart, chest, or both, for ultra-low dose triple-rule-out examinations
with a temporal resolution of 66 ms
ECG-controlled imaging techniques are the basis for both the quantification of calcified plaques in the coronary
arteries (calcium scoring) and 3D reconstructions of the heart and coronary arteries in contrast media studies (CT
angiography of the heart). Retrospective ECG gating also allows functional imaging of the heart. Moreover, these
techniques suppress pulsation or motion artifacts in the lung and in vessels close to the heart (e.g. ascending
aorta). The ECG signal is supplied by an ECG device integrated in the gantry.
Cardiac Best Phase Plus - is a dedicated software which automatically calculates and detects the optimal phase
for motion-less coronary visualization. The phase is defined as either end-systole, end-diastole or both time points
and is automatically reconstructed.
Also includes the DirectViewingTM tool, used for real time navigation through full volumes of up to 24 heart phases
by using an integrated fast 3D volume viewer, available both on the Examination and Recon subtask card.
Furthermore it provides VRT visualization of the coronaries with heart isolation in up to 20 phases within 15
seconds. DirectViewingTM completes the workflow of Cardio BestPhaseTM by giving you the flexibility to individually
visualize phases for all coronary arteries.
Ca Scoring #AWP scanning - for quick calcium scoring based risk assessment and coronary age calculation (for
single user at Acquisition Workplace)
FAST Phase - is an intuitive solution fully integrated in the cardiac workflow for helping to quickly set up complex
and usually time-consuming cardiac procedures reliably and repeatedly. By measuring of heart rate and rhythm the
system automatically choses the most appropriate phase of the heart cycle to scan and later to reconstruct based
on fully configurable and customizable look up tables. This reduces complexity and helps to standardize cardiac
acquisitions by making them more robust and less user-dependent.
The Dynamic Myocardial Perfusion Package contains the scanner and software features necessary to perform
dynamic myocardial perfusion evaluations. It includes:
Heart Perfusion Scanning: A dynamic scan mode to visualize ventricular myocardial perfusion for identification of
perfusion defects.
syngo Volume Perfusion CT Body for the quantitative 3D evaluation of dynamic CT data of organs and lesions by
Description
providing images of blood flow, blood volume, and permeability from one set of dynamic CT images.
syngo Volume Perfusion CT Body – Myocardium for the display and analysis of dynamic CT data of the heart.
Adaptive 4D Spiral applies a continuously repeated bi-directional table movement, moving the patient smoothly in
and out of the gantry over the desired scan range. In stroke assessment, it provides the information not just for a
limited section of the disease, but for the whole brain. It enables a reliable assessment of the type and extent of
cerebral perfusion disturbances. In addition, it facilitates perfusion studies over entire organs in both the head and
body. Enabling you to assess the entire extent of disease and visualize the function of potential metastasis. Finally,
it enables the visualization and evaluation of complex intracranial vascular structures in separate phases. Arterial
and venous phases are captured in a single scan, but can then also be evaluated separately. So you're able to not
only delineate aneurysms and other vascular diseases, but also to exclude occlusions of the aortic vessels and
assess venous thrombosis.
The FAST 3D camera captures the patient’s shape, position, and height in three dimensions.
Using infrared measurement, it even recognizes body contours: for example, when people are wearing masking
clothes or blankets.
The 3D camera is equipped with an infrared light source and sensor as well as an RGB camera. It is positioned
above the patient table and in front of the gantry.
A live image of the patient is displayed on the Touch Panel and a planning image can be taken and displayed.
Algorithms use the measured data to calculate:

- The body regions in z-direction
- The patient’s direction – “head-first versus feet-first” as well as “prone versus supine”
- The table height and patient thickness

- FAST Isocentering, at the push of a button, provides the correct isocenter position, enabling the right
dose modulation and consistent images.
- FAST Range supports scanning the correct body region in the topogram with no cut-off – by aligning the
automatically identified anatomical position with the protocol.
- FAST Direction helps safeguard the right scan direction of the topogram, which is crucial when moving
the table with infused patients.
The 3D camera system consists of several components.

- Ceiling flange: The ceiling flange covers the fixation to the concrete or suspended ceiling.
- Ceiling extension: The length of the ceiling extension is variable to allow an installation of the 3D camera
at different room heights.
- Camera Interface Computer (CIC): The computer is connected to the 3D camera and the syngo
Acquisition Workplace.
- 3D camera: The camera is used to get the data of the patient structure in three dimensions.
