Patient pathways for guided CT imagingSOMATOM go.All with myExam Companion
Patient pathways
Transform care delivery with your new patient pathways
In CT imaging, each scan protocol contains many parameters. To attain optimal exam results, a subset of parameters needs to be manually adjusted for each patient and clinical indication. This can not only be time-consuming, but also result in inconsistent images because every staff member has a different level of experience and expertise – and their own work style.
Offering pre-defined patient pathways, myExam Companion easily navigates you through any clinical indication. Tap the full potential of the SOMATOM go.All CT scanner and get consistent imaging results – independent of patient, case, and user.

Coverage beyond the physical detector size: With Flex 4D Spiral Neuro, you can perform dynamic CT neuro imaging with a larger coverage than with the actual physical detector size.
Low-dose CT imaging
The secrets of low dose and excellent image quality
Integrate complex exams into daily practice: Equipped with premium technologies, SOMATOM go.All delivers results you would not expect from a routine system. Find out more about our Stellar detector, High Power, Tin Filter, spectral imaging, iMAR, and SAFIRE.
Stellar detector
• Reduced image noise in every scan
• Excellent image quality at very low dose thanks to advanced iterative reconstruction SAFIRE1)
• Excellent and homogenous image quality, even in complex areas – due to an increased channel density and a new geometry
Benefits include:
• Up to 50% less dose to achieve equivalent image noise compared with conventional detectors
• Up to 45% fewer streak artifacts through regions of high attenuation (e.g., shoulder)2)
High Power, 10 kV Steps & CARE kV
- Highest tube current in its class: up to 825 mA even at 70 kV – thanks to the Athlon™ tube
- Better iodine contrast for sharper images, even in small distal vessels.
- Considerably reduced contrast media lets you scan more patients, deliver better patient care, and reduce examination costs
- CARE kV automatically tailors tube voltage to each patient and clinical indication
- Voltage levels can be adjusted at intervals of 10 kV for less dose and high contrast resolution
Tin Filter
- Unique technology from Siemens Healthineers
- Ultra-low dose levels by cutting out lower energies
- Optimized image quality at the interface between soft tissue and air
- Direct benefits, for example, in lung and colon imaging
- Reduced beam-hardening artifacts and improved image quality in bony structures
Spectral imaging with Dual Energy
- TwinSpiral Dual Energy is the next generation of dual spiral dual energy in clinical routine
- Acquires data sets at two different energies to obtain both morphological and functional information
- High image quality thanks to improved spectral separation due to the Tin Filter and better dose distribution
- New workflow concept: two scans are integrated into a single acquisition
- Integrates GO technologies for extra advanced automation
iMAR3)
- High-end algorithm reduces metal artifacts for better image quality without increase in dose
- Can handle a wide variety of metal implants for smoother, more efficient workflows
- Facilitates imaging of metal implants like dental fillings, pacemakers, and extremity implants
SAFIRE1)
- Iterative reconstruction algorithm
- Delivers excellent image quality at low dose
- Fast and simple to use
- Can be easily implemented into daily routine
