Changing views on workflow solutions – with Sliding Gantry
When you need to avoid patient or applicator movement and want to benefit from excellent image quality in radiation therapy, let SOMATOM CT Sliding Gantry empower you to make treatment decisions with great confidence.
- What if you would increase process efficiency by using Sliding Gantry CT?
The CT gantry slides on rails over the patient, so table and accessories remain stationary. - What if you went beyond precise patient positioning?
- Imaging for brachytherapy without patient and applicator motion
- Evaluation of anatomical changes and replanning to support adaptive concepts in particle therapy - A successful story of strategic partnership between Siemens Healthineers and Varian: CT Sliding gantry in Varian PT room
