Features & Benefits

    Clinical Use

    We believe the future is in motion – and this belief shaped the development of SOMATOM go.Open Pro. This advanced CT simulator provides accurate, reproducible patient modeling that can break down the barriers to modern treatments and individualized care.

    Difficulties in providing the best care for challenging cases

    • Precision medicine, curative intent, and hypofractionated treatments have enormous potential
    • Patients with cancers such as lung, liver, and head and neck cancer miss out on this potential because their cases are too challenging for existing CT systems
    • Poor-quality, imprecise information makes it especially difficult to target tumors and protect healthy tissue

    Push the boundaries for challenging cases:

    75% of the time patients breath irregularly which leads to artifacts5

    Accuracy is essential when irradiating moving targets. Yet many traditional CT scanners cannot deliver the image quality necessary for this kind of treatment planning. During 4D acquisition, they produce either too much or too little data, which causes interpolation or motion artifacts.

    Patients often breathe irregularly during the 4D acquisition, which potentially causes image artifacts.

    World’s first CT simulator that generates contours for lung/liver cancer patients

    DirectORGANS1 (Optimized Reconstruction based contours trained by Generative Adversarial Networks) is a revolutionary OAR contouring solution. It leverages optimized and standardized reconstruction parameters to deliver input to the deep learning based contouring solution. This process runs in parallel to the reconstruction of the image for target contouring.

    The result: Save time and reduce unwarranted variations with high-quality contours that approach the level of consensus-based contours.

    Current CT simulators require a longer breath-hold (20 s)6

    15% of patients don’t have sufficient breath-hold ability to be considered for DIBH7

    Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is a widely accepted method of minimizing cardiac toxicity. Current CT simulators require a longer breath-hold (20 s)7 than is required in modern treatment techniques such as high-dose-rate therapies and fast cone beam CT.

    Long breath-hold during CT simulation is uncomfortable for patients and can limit their access to tailored treatment.

    TwinSpiralDual Energy1 is a new form of dual-energy acquisition that uses a Tin Filter to achieve optimal spectral separation. By reducing scan times, it is especially suitable for cases involving motion.

    The result: Precise target delineation thanks to improved soft-tissue contrast.

    Testimonials

    Hear what our customers are saying:

    “We have steadily increased the number of 4D CT simulations we perform weekly and we are close to plan 100% of our lung cancer patients with Direct i4D1,4. It provides excellent images with barely any artifacts. It also provides superb images in the abdominal area to assess movement of liver lesions or adrenal glands. We have found it to facilitate our workflow massively.”10

    As shwon by measurements with a Gammex 467 Tissue Characterization Phantom comparing standard reconstructionn and DirectDensity reconstruction. Image value to relative electron/ mass density conversion for the standard reconstruction was based on a two-linear-equations approach with individual calibration for each tube voltage. For DirectDensity images, a single tube-voltage-independent linear conversion was used. DirectDensity reconstruction is designed for use in Radiation Therapy Planning (RTP) only. DirectDensity reconstruction is not intended to be used for diagnostic imaging.

    The DirectBrachy positioning board is not commercially available in all countries. Its future availability cannot be guaranteed. 

    The urology stirrups (leg support) seen here are optional. The information contained here refers to products from third party manufacturers and are therefore in their regulatory responsibility.

    The CT simulator and the CT table seen here are not part of the DirectBrachy positioning board.

    DirectBrachy positioning board is only compatible with SOMATOM go.Sim and SOMATOM go.Open Pro with Multi-index RTP Overlay. Afterloader needed for brachytherapy. Shielding of the CT room is required when it its used for brachytherapy.

    Verification of mutual compatibility of medical devices combined in a system in accordance with Article 22 (MDR Regulation (EU) 2017/745) on Medical Devices is pending. The combination is not commercially available in the European Union.

    The DirectBrachy positioning board does not yet fulfill all applicable General Safety and Performance Requirements according to the European Medical Device Regulation 2017/745. The product is not commercially available. Its future availability cannot be guaranteed.
