  5. CT for Cardiology

Computed Tomography for CardiologyInnovation that matters.

Computed Tomography is a pivotal tool in the battle against cardiovascular diseases, which are responsible for nearly one-third of global deaths.1 CT plays a significant role in addressing the complexities of cardiac cases, from early detection and diagnostic support, to personalized therapy and follow-up.听

The comprehensive suite of one-of-a-kind imaging solutions from Siemens Healthineers deliver the accuracy and speed needed to support cardiologists to make informed, confident decisions.听

As pioneers in cardiac CT solutions, we invite you to witness firsthand how our state-of-the-art CT systems combined with AI-powered technologies are shaping the future of cardiology.

The video describes how new patient populations may benefit from the advanced imaging capabilities of Quantum Technology.

Cardiac CT made easy with innovative technologies

Quantum PURE Lumen

Spectral reconstructions are now possible for coronary vessels at full temporal resolution. Virtually remove calcifications from CTA exams for a confident evaluation of vessel lumen, unimpaired by blooming artifacts.2

ZeeFree

A novel reconstruction feature that enables optimal cardiac imaging independent of the detector width. It reduces misalignments usually originating from patient movement, breathing or adjacent cardiac cycles.

Simplified Cardiac Workflow

Complex examinations such as cardiac CT are now simplified with our intelligent and intuitive mobile tablet workflow powered by myExam Companion. This allows users with any experience level to perform cardiac scans easily.

Photon-counting technology for cardiac CT

Reach more cardiovascular patients with photon-counting CT

NAEOTOM Alpha with Quantum Technology delivers Quantum HD Cardiac images with 0.2 mm slice thickness. This breakthrough technology not only visualizes previously undetectable details in the heart but does so without dose penalty. Dive deeper into the benefits of photon-counting technology for cardiac CT.

Clinical benefits for Dual Source Cardiac CT imaging

Clinical benefits of Dual Source CT for cardiac imaging

How can you achieve high image quality at minimal radiation dose and contrast media in a coronary CT angiography (CTA) in patients with high heart rates or renal insufficiency?听

Dual Source CT, with its high native temporal resolution of 66 ms, reduces motion artifacts even in high heart rates and also reduces the need for betablockers.听

Download the white paper to explore clinical scenarios where fast native temporal resolution makes a different in cardiac imaging.听

Cardiac ZeeFree comparison

Optimal Cardiac CT imaging with ZeeFree 

With ZeeFree, a novel cardiac CT reconstruction feature employing intelligent algorithms to automatically align image stacks, you get images that are optimally aligned to display the morphology as intended, without misalignment of stacks. Zeefree operates on a detector width-independent algorithm, and is adaptable to both retrospective ECG-gated spiral and prospective ECG-triggered sequence acquisitions. Learn more in the white paper.

Transforming patient pathways with Quantum Technology

See how new patient pathways may benefit from the advanced imaging capabilities of photon-counting technology and its profound clinical impact in this video with University Medical Center Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.2

Overcoming the barrier of calcifications with the NAEOTOM Alpha class

Cardiac CT accuracy has been a challenge due to calcifications. This has usually led to overestimation of stenosis measurements with CT. With the NAEOTOM Alpha class, this is changing. Herwig Schuchlenz, MD interventional cardiologist at University Hospital Graz, Austria explains how precise quantification on coronary calcifications can help to plan procedures in the cath lab.2

Dual Source CT: 
Individualized patient care with SOMATOM Pro.Pulse

Clinical indications for cardiac CT are evolving rapidly. In this dynamic landscape, Dual Source technology delivers the flexibility in individualized cardiac acquisition 鈥 from systolic imaging to full functional assessment at low dose. Step into the early clinical experiences with SOMATOM Pro.Pulse, our latest Dual Source CT, through the eyes of Stephan Schulz, MD, Head of Radiology at Radiologische Allianz, Hamburg, Germany.2听

Capturing heartbeat and rhythm with SOMATOM go.Top

Coronary artery disease is a major cause of mortality. Recent guidelines recommend cardiac CT as frontline testing for coronary artery disease. Gain insights from Alexandros Kallifatidis, MD,听 radiologist at St. Luke鈥檚 Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, as he explains his approach to assessing patients by capturing heartbeat and rhythm for accurate diagnoses.2
