Siemens Healthineers has introduced a new Dual Source CT (computed tomography) scanner that is more accessible for smaller and rural facilities as well as outpatient diagnostic centers: the Somatom Pro.Pulse1.

西门子医疗公司推出了一种新型双源CT（计算机断层扫描）扫描仪，更适用于小型农村设施以及门诊诊断中心：Somatom Pro。脉冲1。

Lifecycle costs are lower than other Dual Source systems due to an improved cooling system and more efficient power consumption. Therefore, this system breaks one of the main barriers for the adoption of Dual Source, Siemens Healthineers’ signature technology – which is the lifecycle cost.

由于改进的冷却系统和更高效的功耗，生命周期成本低于其他双源系统。因此，该系统打破了采用双源西门子医疗保健公司签名技术的主要障碍之一-这是生命周期成本。

“With our new advanced Dual Source CT scanner we aim to make this high-class technology available to more patients. CT exams performed on this system follow an intelligent and intuitive workflow appealing to various levels of experience. This enables standardization and reproducibility for clinicians and thus saves personnel capacities,” said Philipp Fischer, head of Computed Tomography at Siemens Healthineers. .

“通过我们新的先进双源CT扫描仪，我们的目标是使更多患者能够使用这种高级技术。在该系统上进行的CT检查遵循智能直观的工作流程，吸引不同层次的经验。这为临床医生提供了标准化和可重复性，从而节省了人员能力，“菲利普菲舍尔说，西门子医疗器械计算机断层扫描负责人。。.

“We are happy to finally be able to use this high-end technology in our facility. The clinical role of CT is expanding into a key player in early detection and therapy planning. Therefore, we need a high-performance system allowing exams for an even broader patient group. With Somatom Pro.Pulse we are able to perform high quality cardiac imaging, and in other areas of radiology,” said Dr.

“我们很高兴最终能够在我们的设施中使用这种高端技术，CT的临床作用正在扩大到早期检测和治疗计划的关键角色，因此，我们需要一个高性能的系统，允许检查更广泛的患者群体，使用Somatom Pro.Pulse，我们能够执行高质量的心脏成像，并在其他放射学领域，”博士说。

Dual Source computed tomography – CT scanners with two radiation tubes and detectors each – allows for very high temporal resolution. High temporal resolution and scan speed is important for CT scans of the heart, to limit image artefacts from breathing or motion of the heart. This enables scanning patients with various challenging clinical conditions, such as patients with high or irregular heart rates, inability to hold their breath or to stay still, as well as with difficulties following clinicians’ instructions.

双源计算机断层扫描-CT扫描仪具有两个辐射管和每个检测器-可实现非常高的时间分辨率。高时间分辨率和扫描速度对于心脏的CT扫描是重要的，以限制来自心脏的呼吸或运动的图像伪影。这使得能够扫描具有各种具有挑战性的临床状况的患者，例如心率高或不规则，无法屏住呼吸或保持静止的患者，以及遵循临床医生指示的困难。

The use of tin filters keeps the radiation dose low while maintaining optimum image quality especially in clinical indications like ultra-low dose thorax scans for screening. .

使用锡滤光片可保持低辐射剂量，同时保持最佳图像质量，特别是在临床适应症（如超低剂量胸部扫描筛查）中。。.

With the intelligent workflow of myExam Companion, Somatom Pro.Pulse simplifies exams while personalizing scanning for each patient. myExam Companion combines patient data such as gender, height and age and collects information that is relevant for CT scans such as heart rate or breath-hold capabilities.

借助myExam Companion，Somatom Pro的智能工作流程。Pulse简化了检查，同时为每位患者个性化扫描。myExam Companion结合性别，身高和年龄等患者数据，收集与CT扫描相关的信息，如心率或屏气能力。

The scanner then optimizes the scan parameters and tailors a patient-specific scan protocol. The FAST (fully assisting scanner technologies) 3D camera automatically performs precise and consistent patient positioning. Both features help reduce the time clinicians spend on routine tasks. .

扫描仪然后优化扫描参数并定制患者特定的扫描协议。快速（全辅助扫描仪技术）3D相机可自动执行精确一致的患者定位。这两个功能都有助于减少临床医生花在日常任务上的时间。。.

With around 20 percent lower power consumption than previous Dual Source generations, the system is more sustainable and keeps running costs low.

与以前的双源发电相比，功耗降低了约20%，系统更具可持续性，并保持较低的运行成本。
