On scene. On care. On time. SOMATOM On.site brings critical care imaging closer to your patient

For critically ill patients with suspected stroke or severe head conditions, a timely diagnosis is essential to decide on the right treatment. SOMATOM On.site is designed to bring head CT imaging to the point of care – whether it is integrated into an ambulance as a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) or maneuvered throughout the hospital in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

On scene: SOMATOM On.site revolutionizes pre-hospital stroke diagnosis

Time is crucial in stroke care, and every second can make a difference in patient outcomes. With SOMATOM On.site integrated into a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) high-quality head CT scans can be performed directly in the ambulance. This innovation provides high-end head CT imaging, supporting clinicians in stroke diagnosis and treatment decisions before the patient arrives at the hospital.

"The use of mobile stroke units resulted in a reduction of time-to-treatment by an average of 30 minutes, thereby preserving more brain functions"

On care: SOMATOM On.site supports in streamlining ICU workflows

SOMATOM On.site transforms critical care imaging by enabling head CT scans to be performed directly at the patient’s bedside in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This reduces the risks associated with transporting critically ill patients to the radiology department.

By scanning patients in their hospital beds, ICU staff can focus on their core tasks without leaving the unit, supporting continuous patient care. Furthermore, unscheduled interruptions in the radiology department can be reduced, enabling a more streamlined utilization of the stationary fleet. Say goodbye to complex, time-consuming workflows in critical care imaging of ICU patients by bringing the scanner to the point of care.

On time: SOMATOM On.site provides fast and reliable head CT imaging

Designed for special needs in critical care environments, SOMATOM On.site provides high quality imaging for timely diagnosis for patients at risk of stroke in the MSU or for patients in need of follow-up imaging in the ICU. Get reliable scan results regardless of the user’s experience level with intelligent guidance of myExam Companion. Thanks to proven technologies like ADMIRE, iMAR, and GO technologies, SOMATOM On.site delivers image quality comparable to stationary CT scanners – whether in the ICU or MSU.
