Manufacturing of the scanners has already started at the recently inaugurated Siemens Healthineers manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. The factory achieved a key milestone as it recently shipped the first ‘Made in India’ CT scanner (Somatom go.Up), expanding the manufacturing reach in India
“With 350+ Somatom go. platform installations across the country, this manufacturing facility further strengthens our commitment to India. Somatom go. platform CT scanners will help our customers expand their radiological portfolio, become more competitive and achieve consistent, user-independent quality”, said Suraj Chandrasekharan, Head of Diagnostic Imaging, Siemens Healthineers, India.
The Somatom go. platform has an innovative way of fulfilling its customers’ desire for efficient workflows and a high level of flexibility: It can be controlled via wireless tablet, a technology which paves the way for an entirely new mobile workflow.
