still in use, available expected from October 2024
The SOMATOM MCT 172 is a computed tomography (CT) scanner produced by
Siemens Healthineers. CT scanners are used in the medical field to
create detailed cross-sectional images of a patient´s internal
anatomy, which can be very useful for diagnosis and treatment
planning. The SOMATOM MCT 172 is part of Siemens´ SOMATOM CT scanner
series. Here are some key features and specifications typically
associated with the SOMATOM MCT 172:
- Slice Count: The "MCT" in the name suggests that it´s a multi-slice
CT scanner. The number "172" typically represents the number of slices
it can acquire in a single rotation. This means it can capture 172
cross-sectional images (slices) of the body simultaneously, which
allows for faster and more detailed imaging.
- Detector Technology: The SOMATOM MCT 172 likely features advanced
detector technology for improved image quality and reduced radiation
exposure to patients.
- Application Versatility: These scanners are used for a wide range of
clinical applications, including routine diagnostic scans, cardiac
imaging, and various advanced studies such as angiography and
perfusion imaging.
- Dose Reduction Features: Siemens CT scanners often come with dose
reduction technologies, such as CARE Dose, which helps reduce
radiation exposure while maintaining image quality.
- High-Performance Computing: Advanced reconstruction algorithms and
powerful computing capabilities help produce high-quality images
quickly.
- User Interface: Siemens CT scanners typically have user-friendly
interfaces for technologists and radiologists, making the operation
and image interpretation more efficient.
- Integration: These scanners can often be integrated into hospital or
clinic networks for seamless data transfer and storage.
- Upgradability: Depending on the specific model, the scanner may
offer options for software and hardware upgrades to keep it current
with evolving medical imaging technology.
