The SOMATOM go. platform with myExam CompanionMake success your daily business

Do you find these healthcare trends challenging?

Concerned that patients may leave your institution dissatisfied?

“Improving patient satisfaction with their CT experience” is ranked top priority by CT department responsibles.¹⁾

Wondering if you are operating your CT at its full potential?

“The use of protocols and radiation dose varies greatly,” studies¹⁾ that analyzed millions of CT examinations worldwide showed. And this is not because of the equipment characteristics, but mainly because of the choices of the individual users.

Curious about the use of AI in your CT? But also skeptical about it?

“Already, 77% of the devices anyone of us uses feature one form of AI or another.”¹⁾

Changes in patient expectations, technological development, and digitalization create challenging situations for healthcare providers. But the CT imaging market also holds many opportunities. You can profit, for example, by improving the diagnostic experience for patients and your work experience. Or by opening new reimbursement opportunities in advanced clinical fields.

To help you thrive, we have developed a family of CT scanners that lets you deliver better outcomes to more patients: the SOMATOM® go. platform comprises the CT scanners SOMATOM go.Now, SOMATOM go.Up, SOMATOM go.All, and SOMATOM go.Top – as well as our dedicated radiotherapy CT scanners SOMATOM go.Sim and SOMATOM go.Open Pro.

Did you know that the SOMATOM go. platform originates from the medical community? It was co-created with 500 of our customers, from CEOs to the wonderful people who care for patients every single day. Based on their input, our engineers built the CT platform – and designed it specifically to overcome the obstacles associated with acquiring, operating, and maintaining a CT scanner.

Enhance possibilities

myExam Companion: Facilitate even advanced CT imaging

With myExam Companion, the SOMATOM go. platform offers intelligent imaging that works with you. Whether routine or advanced CT applications, it smartly and intuitively guides users and supports them in unlocking the system’s full potential automatically – independent of their level of experience.

Mobile Workflow: Improve patient experience

The SOMATOM go. platform introduces an entirely new approach to operating a CT scanner. Built around a Mobile Workflow, it features a line-up of innovative solutions, including a tablet and remote control. Experience an unparalleled level of flexibility, mobility, and patient-friendliness in daily CT procedures.

FAST 3D Camera²⁾: Position patients precisely

The FAST 3D Camera helps your team provide first-time-right scans, manage tight schedules, and potentially examine more patients. It captures the patient’s shape, position, and height in three dimensions. Using infrared measurement, it even recognizes body contours. This is particularly useful, for example, when patients are wearing thicker clothes.

GO technologies: Address your workflow beyond the scanner

The SOMATOM go. platform features intuitive solutions that address your workflow not only at the scanner but also beyond. GO technologies reduce repetitive workflow steps, help standardize & simplify all departmental processes.

Initial investment and operational costs: Outsmarting installation and recurring costs

All CT scanners of the SOMATOM go. platform come with low installation costs. Thanks to gantry-integrated computers and a flexible room concept, you no longer need to invest in a separate control room. Whatever concept you will choose, you are fully protected while the X-ray is on.

And once you are up and running, we will not leave you alone. Beyond the initial investment, there are recurring operational costs affecting your bottom line. The SOMATOM go. platform is well equipped to help you with them as well. At the core of their design the scanners of the platform enable lower electrical consumption compared to previous models⁴⁾ and may even allow for reduction of the contrast media using the High Power technology.

Dose reduction potential as a result of noise reduction

Not available for SOMATOM go.Now

In clinical practice, the use of SAFIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.
