As the demand for faster and more certain diagnosis increases, workflow
concepts and clinical applications become increasingly important.
The SOMATOM Emotion beautifully illustrates Siemens’ attention
to even the smallest details of your CT day. Through this constant
commitment to detail, we are able to offer developments that make
your workday easier and clinically more successful. The SOMATOM
Emotion offers optimum workflow enhancements, from patient
preparation and scanning, through to post-processing and reporting.

is simply fantastic.”

The Underlying
Technology
It has always been the philosophy of Siemens Healthcare that
innovations that lead to increased image quality and decreased patient
dose should be included throughout the Siemens CT portfolio. For this
reason many of the leading concepts that have maintained Siemens’
leadership at the cutting edge of high-end CT technology are offered
also on our entry-level and mid-range systems. Examples of such
technology include our leading detector material, Ultra Fast Ceramic
(UFC), true real-time dose modulation with CARE Dose4D, and
reconstruction techniques that remove the traditional trade off between
speed and image quality that are a standard limitation of other systems
in the market place today.
