The Dual Source Difference

Individualized patient care – today.

Dual Source CT can propel your Radiology department into the future starting today. Twice as fast as single source scanners, and designed to handle even challenging CT imaging procedures, Dual Source systems provide unmatched power, speed, and precision.1 Tested and perfected over 15 years, this one-of-a kind technology brings clinical excellence and workflow efficiency to your CT procedures.

One-of-a kind CT technology

The Dual Source technology is one-of-a kind and has revolutionized clinical capabilities in many ways by using two X-ray sources and two detectors at the same time. Thanks to unrivaled power, speed, and precision, Dual Source CT allows you to obtain high-quality results even in challenging and advanced imaging applications. With Dual Source technology, you can now face tomorrow's healthcare needs with confidence.  

Differential diagnostic precision 

Support accurate diagnosis, automated for safety and efficiency

Since its introduction, users have employed Dual Source CT technology to push the boundaries of CT imaging. Examine patients with no need for beta blockers2 or breath-holding, and with low dose of contrast media and radiation. Dose-neutral Dual Energy supports quantified therapy evalutions. On-board automation enables safe, standardized, efficient workflows with reproducible precision. And there is still a world of applications to explore. Discover how Dual Source CT can help you in your (differential) diagnostic precision.

Dual Source CT FAST-Bolus

Optimized contrast media management 

Introducing FAST Bolus

FAST Bolus revolutionizes bolus tracking in contrast media imaging by enabling automated and personalized scan trigger delays to improve image quality and show a more uniform contrast attenuation. With this feature, the chance of missing the contrast media bolus may be reduced, resulting in fewer non-diagnostic scans. The first publications show the potential of FAST Bolus to reduce the amount of iodine contrast media needed without impacting image quality.

Screening protocol for lung and calcium scoring

Screening protocol for lung and calcium scoring


Lung screening is already established in many countries, and calcium scoring is an upcoming trend. We are anticipating that trend with our new ECG gated flash scan at 100 kV with tin filtration. This protocol enables you to answer two clinical questions in a single scan: lung screening and calcium scoring with a beat of the heart.
