SOMATOM go.NowImplemente un exitoso negocio de TC

“The mobile workflow: More than ever, the patient is in the center of the whole examination.”

Carla Susana Ribeiro Pinto

CT radiographer at Centro Hospitalar de São João, Porto, Portugal

Tablet

• Lightweight, high-resolution tablet gives you total freedom over how you work
• With its Scan&GO technology, you just need a few steps for the entire scan
• Start checking patients’ information as soon as you collect them from the waiting room, and then prepare the scan directly at the gantry
• Stay with the patient for longer

With the SOMATOM go.Now CT scanner, users can spend most of the time with the patient – which results in higher efficiency, higher patient comfort, and fewer motion artifacts.

On the left: A standard workflow. The CT operator spends most of the time in the control room.

In comparison, the unique new mobile workflow of SOMATOM go.Now, based on tablet-operation and automation.

New workplace design

• Thanks to gantry-integrated computers, complete flexibility over where you position the workstation
• Depending on your needs and infrastructure, you can set up the workstation in the same room, outside the scan room, or in a separate control room

Camera

• Helps you keep an eye on the patient at all times
• Makes it easy to provide better care
• Close-up perspective makes it easy to spot even micro-movements and keep the patient in the right position

Remote control

• Easy-to-use Bluetooth remote control
• Streamlines scanning and makes workflow processes more efficient

Scan&GO

• A tablet app that allows you to control scans remotely
• Choose whether to operate the scanner at the gantry or from outside the room
• Benefit from faster patient preparation and positioning

Check&GO

• An intelligent algorithm that flags up problems with coverage or contrast media distribution as they occur
• Correct issues on the go, prevent subsequent errors in multiphase scans, and avoid archiving suboptimal images
• Ultimately reduce the number of recalls

Recon&GO

• Performs zero-click postprocessing, making it part of the standard reconstruction tasks
• As a ready-to-read technology it saves time and cuts down on workflow steps

CT View&GO

• An all-in-one, cross-specialty viewing solution that provides a large variety of clinical applications
• Tools for smooth reading in just one workflow
• Customizable user interface to tailor the system to your needs

Intuitive functions in CT-guided intervention

Benefit from Guide&GO, the first tablet-based solution for CT-guided interventions. Control the entire procedure from the tablet and remote control, and navigate images using intuitive touchscreen functions familiar to any smartphone user.
 

Fast and efficient routine scanning
SOMATOM go.Now delivers the low-dose scanning that is essential for optimal patient care, e.g. in orthopedics. Its technology allows scans of long ranges while maintaining a high spatial resolution.

High-quality angiography for vascular exams
SOMATOM go.Now allows high-quality angiography exams of central arteries with good iodine contrast, sub-millimeter slices, and precise timing.

Fast and precise routine neuro examinations
SOMATOM go.Now optimizes image quality and reduces dose in routine neuro examinations. High spatial resolution improves the imaging of very small bony structures such as those in the inner ear.

Broaden your portfolio in preventive care
SOMATOM go.Now allows you to offer lung and colon screening. With sub-millimeter collimation in every scan, it provides high spatial resolution and helps improve the detection of occult lesions.

Flexible room concept

• Save on valuable space by having scanner and workstation in one single room. With the “niche” setup, operators are fully protected while the X-ray is on.
• Thanks to gantry-integrated computers, you no longer need to invest in a separate control room.
• Alternative: position the workstation outside the room or opt for the traditional control room setup

Reliable components

• Equipped with durable components that deliver outstanding reliability to keep the scanner running smoothly for longer
• Experts from the Siemens Healthineers Support Center provide ad hoc support whenever needed and quickly help identify and resolve any issues that might occur via Smart Remote Service
• Chronon® tube features a highly robust design and 8.75 MHU equivalent anode heat capacity with SAFIRE, built to surpass the performance of its predecessor.
