Patient-centered innovation

Siemens Healthineers has made an unstoppable commitment to transform medical imaging with the NAEOTOM Alpha class, featuring three photon-counting CT systems. These systems enhance diagnostic results and processes across various clinical scenarios using proven Quantum Technology and AI-powered productivity solutions. Address the limitations of conventional CT and set a new standard of care with the NAEOTOM Alpha class.

An unstoppable shift – Expert insights on the new era of imaging

Clinical experts share the opinion that the NAEOTOM Alpha class is redefining diagnostics: merging speed, precision, and intelligence to transform workflows, empower radiologists, and accelerate the shift from reactive treatment to truly preventive, personalized care. A new era of imaging is beginning – as told by those at the forefront of imaging.

Visualization of a clinical image with Quantum HD resolution and a clinical image with Quantum Spectral Information as a symbol for profound clinical impact.

Profound clinical impact

If you can’t see it, you can’t diagnose it. If you can’t diagnose it, you can’t treat it. The NAEOTOM Alpha class delivers precise anatomical details with Quantum HD resolution with up to 0.2 mm, and Quantum Spectral imaging in every scan enables precise functional evaluation. Address limitations of conventional CT and experience the profound clinical impact of photon-counting CT.

See the unseen with Quantum HD

Enabled by the up to 0.2 mm slice thickness of Quantum HD, the visualization of small anatomical details that cannot be seen with conventional CT technology delivers conclusive insights. These support clinical decision making, with the potential to streamline patient pathways. Quantum HD images offer optimized results without a dose increase. It also supports clinicians in evaluating stent patency, detection and diagnostic characterization of tumors, confident analysis of resectability, and identification of small abnormalities.

Be conclusive in every scan with Quantum Spectral Imaging

Quantum Spectral Imaging delivers detailed spectral maps in every scan—enabling functional evaluation with high precision and conclusiveness even in patients previously excluded from CT, such as patients who cannot hold their breath or have a high calcium load. No scan mode preselection, or compromises between speed, coverage, and spectral information. The scanners support cardiovascular risk stratification: Studies have reported on the use of Quantum Spectral Imaging to maximize diagnostic information in thoracic imaging.¹

Unstoppable in clinical practice

"This technology will provide, and is already providing, the possibility to have the highest diagnostic sensitivity and, at the same time, the highest diagnostic specificity. That means I'm capable of detecting the smallest thing and I'm capable of telling you what it is (…)." ³
