8 Perfection in Image Detail
“The SOMATOM Emotion delivers unbelievable
high-end image quality and detail. And the
intelligent programs offered allow me to
concentrate my efforts on diagnosis and on
my patients. Simply amazing.”

G. Mostbeck, MD
Otto Wagner Spital, Vienna, Austria

Perfection in Image Detail


From the very beginning of CT technology, image quality has been the
first priority. This is still true today and was a constant focus during
development of the new SOMATOM Emotion 6- and 16-slice CT systems.
This focus, along with over three decades of CT experience, is clearly
demonstrated in every image from the SOMATOM Emotion. Perfection
in image detail is achieved through a superbly designed imaging chain
that precisely balances the tube, detector and supporting electronic
technologies, and the compact system geometry for constant, optimal
image detail. The unsurpassed image quality is one of the key reasons
that makes the SOMATOM Emotion the world’s most popular CT system.*

“With the SOMATOM Emotion CT we are able to
scan 90 patients per day on average. Moreover
we optimized our hospital workflow with
the fast scan protocols of SOMATOM Emotion.”

Dr. Yurdasiper
Yunus Emre State Hospital, Eski˛sehir, Turkey

Savings in Every Scan


From the time of installation, even before you have made your first scan,
the SOMATOM Emotion makes the first step in savings. The modern,
compact design permits easy and efficient installation and requires very
little of your expensive floor space. Requiring a total of only 18 square
meters – including a scan room as small as 15 square meters – the
SOMATOM Emotion has the potential to save you money over the entire
life of your CT system.

22 The Underlying Technology
“Siemens is a technology leader in CT, and
has been so for a long time. The way they
integrate innovations into my clinical routine
is simply fantastic.”

G. Mostbeck, MD
Otto Wagner Spital, Vienna, Austria

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.
