Computed Tomography for NeurologyYou think ahead. We innovate ahead.

Our mission is to help neurology patients by best supporting their diagnosis and treatment. We are committed to providing you with fast and reliable CT imaging to make informed treatment decisions. They are, of course, particularly important in stroke, where time is brain. More than 6.5 million people die from stroke each year and more than 100 million people are currently living with the consequences of stroke, ranging from moderate to severe disability1.Ìý

We firmly believe that innovation in computed tomography can create great momentum in neuroradiology and neurology. You think ahead in advancing neurology care. We innovate ahead with technologies that support you throughout the entire patient pathway. Discover how state-of-the-art CT technologies by Siemens Healthineers can help you care for your stroke patients.

On scene: 
SOMATOM On.site revolutionizes pre-hospital stroke diagnosis

Time is crucial in stroke care, and every second can make a difference in patient outcomes. With SOMATOM On.site integrated into a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) high-quality head CT scans can be performed directly in the ambulance. This innovation provides high-end head CT imaging, supporting clinicians in stroke diagnosis and treatment decisions before the patient arrives at the hospital.Ìý
Watch the video to learn more about the Mobile Stroke Unit workflow.

Delivering timely stroke diagnosis and care

For stroke patients, time is of the essence. Every minute saved can positively impact patient outcomes. That’s why it’s key to save time along the entire stroke pathway – from the onset of stroke to treatment and follow-up.

Transforming care delivery with Mobile Stroke Units

Mobile Stroke Units permit head CT imaging before patients even enter the hospital. Hear Johann Rink, MD, describe the real-life impact that installing an MSU has had on stroke care at Mannheim University Medical Centre in Mannheim, Germany.

At the nexus of treatment innovation: hybrid CT-angio systems

Implementing a hybrid interventional suite has reduced the door-to-groin time at Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, to less than 30 minutes. Listen to Carlos Molina, MD, and Alejandro Tomaselli, MD, share their journey.

Improve ICU workflows with point-of-care imaging

Scanning patients directly in the ICU can avoid complications and improve efficiency. In this talk, Johan Wasselius, MD, explains how portable CT imaging with SOMATOM On.site has helped Skåne University Hospital, in Lund, Sweden, improve critical care workflows.

CT neuro perfusion in ischemic stroke management

Explore how our advanced neuroimaging techniques like CT perfusion (CTP) can help you evaluate the extent of stroke to make informed treatment decisions.

Innovating in neuroradiology with photon-counting CT

Our breakthrough photon-counting technology enables a profound clinical impact beyond the reach of conventional CT. The NAEOTOM Alpha class lets you visualize anatomy and characterize materials in high detail while keeping dose low. Thanks to inherent spectral imaging and an ultra-thin slice thickness (up to just 0.2 mm), you can gain insight into details of the brain that may be inaccessible with conventional CT systems. Photon-counting technology offers increased resolution, inherently available spectral imaging options, better image quality, and improved dose efficiency, which together enable a change at the front line of stroke and neurological care.

Redefining imaging at the front line of stroke care

NAEOTOM Alpha has eclipsed conventional high-end CT scanners at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Hear from Anke van der Eerden, MD, and the team how ultra-thin slice thickness has enabled a whole new level of detail while keeping dose to a minimum.

State-of-the-art stroke diagnosis and treatment

Discover the exciting possibilities that photon-counting CT offers for serving stroke patients in this talk by Aad van der Lugt, MD, from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
