NeurologyShaping the future of neurovascular care with CT and AI

Our mission is to help neurology patients by supporting their diagnosis and treatment. We are committed to providing you with fast and reliable CT imaging to make informed treatment decisions. They are, of course, particularly important in stroke, where time is brain. 

We firmly believe that innovation in computed tomography can create great momentum in neuroradiology and neurology. You think ahead in advancing neurology care. We innovate ahead with technologies that support you throughout the entire patient pathway. Discover how integrated neurology innovations by Siemens Healthineers can help you care for your neurological patients.

Highlights & Innovations

Innovating in neuroradiology with the NAEOTOM Alpha class

Our breakthrough photon-counting technology enables a profound clinical impact beyond the reach of conventional CT. The NAEOTOM Alpha class lets you visualize anatomy and characterize materials in high detail while keeping dose low.

Photon‑counting CT is transforming neurovascular imaging. At Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, Prof. Johan Wasselius, MD, Head of Interventional Neuroradiology, is using NAEOTOM Alpha to visualize even small cerebral vessels and aneurysms as well as neuro devices with remarkable precision – supporting fast, confident diagnoses.

Marcel Dijkshoorn from Erasmus Medical Center explains how NAEOTOM Alpha supports excellent neuro imaging, particularly in follow‑up cases with coils, flow diverters, or clips. The improved visualization of small structures helps clinicians evaluate complex conditions with great confidence.

Transforming critical care workflows with SOMATOM On.site

Scanning patients directly in the ICU helps avoid complications and improves efficiency. Prof. Johan Wasselius, MD, explains how point‑of‑care imaging with SOMATOM On.site has enhanced critical care workflows at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden.

Clinical Practice

Explore CT Neurology imaging with the following in-depth case studies.

White paper: CT neuro perfusion in ischemic stroke management

Explore how our advanced neuroimaging techniques like CT perfusion (CTP) can help you evaluate the extent of stroke to make informed treatment decisions.

Clinical case: Following up on treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysm

The NAEOTOM Alpha class photon-counting CT scanners allow you to acquire detailed images with low noise and dose efficiency. This clinical case report showcases the benefits for following up on flow diverter treatment of an intracranial aneurysm.

Clinical case: Detection of cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistula

Ultra-high-resolution scans can make a profound difference when it comes to identifying the right treatment path. Read this report to learn about the impact that photon-counting CT imaging had on treatment planning for a patient with a long history of headaches.

Clinical case: Diagnosis of subclavian steal syndrome after sudden onset of syncope

Dual Energy CT enhances the contrast-to-noise ratio and enables the removal of bony structures from the images. In the clinical case, this improved visualization significantly aided in the assessment of multiple stenoses and occlusions in the craniocervical arteries.
