CardiologyThe full spectrum of state-of-the art cardiac CT solutions

Almost every third death worldwide is caused by cardiovascular diseases1. Cardiovascular imaging is considered to be one of the central pillars of diagnostic imaging, and Computed Tomography plays its part here significantly. With the increase in referrals for these procedures comes an increase in the complexity of the patients needing scans. We offer perfectly attuned solutions to answer your clinical questions in Cardiology – from diagnosis to therapy and follow-up. 

CT imaging solutions from Siemens Healthineers have long served as true game changers for cardiology, covering the broad spectrum from early detection and diagnostic support to personalization of therapy decision and follow-up.  

Paired with technologies that harness the power of AI, our state-of-the-art systems help reveal hidden information in your CT scans quickly and accurately. This allows you to take patient evaluation and treatment decision-making to the next level. 
 
As pioneers in cardiac CT solutions, we invite you to witness firsthand how our state-of-the-art CT systems combined with AI-powered technologies are shaping the future of cardiology. 

Highlights & Innovations

Cardiac CT made easy with innovative technologies 

syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit2

Our new automated tool leverages the power of AI to unlock hidden information contained in coronary CT angiography scans. This way, you can accurately assess plaque burden for next-level CAD management.

ZeeFree

A novel reconstruction feature that enables optimal cardiac imaging independent of the detector width. It reduces misalignments usually originating from patient movement, breathing or adjacent cardiac cycles.

Quantum PURE Lumen

Spectral reconstructions are now possible for coronary vessels at full temporal resolution. Virtually remove calcifications from CTA exams for a confident evaluation of vessel lumen, unimpaired by blooming artifacts.3

syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit2: Getting more out of your scans with Plaque Analysis

CT images contain valuable information – but a lot remains hidden without the right tools. Hear Bálint Szilveszter, MD, PhD from Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, discuss how the automatic workflow of syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit helps his institution optimize medical therapy.4

Photon-counting CT: Transforming patient pathways

See how new patient pathways may benefit from the advanced imaging capabilities of photon-counting technology and its profound clinical impact in this video with University Medical Center Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.4

Capturing heartbeat and rhythm with SOMATOM go.Top

Coronary artery disease is a major cause of mortality. Recent guidelines recommend cardiac CT as frontline testing for coronary artery disease. Gain insights from Alexandros Kallifatidis, MD, Radiologist at St. Luke’s Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, as he explains his approach to assessing patients by capturing heartbeat and rhythm for accurate diagnoses.4
