Patient-centered innovation

Siemens Healthineers has made an unstoppable commitment to transform medical imaging with photon-counting CT. And now, we present the NAEOTOM® Alpha class, three photon-counting CT systems that can support diagnostic results and processes in many clinical scenarios. Proven Quantum Technology enables profound clinical impact, supported by AI-powered productivity solutions.1 Address the challenges of conventional CT with the unstoppable NAEOTOM Alpha class and lead the way to a new standard of care.

NAEOTOM Alpha.Prime, NAEOTOM Alpha.Pro and NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak are pending 510(k) clearance, and are not yet commercially available in the United States and other regions. The products/features (mentioned herein) are not commercially available in all countries. Their future availability cannot be guaranteed.

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

Clinical use

Unstoppable in transforming patient pathways

The video describes how new patient populations may benefit from the advanced imaging capabilities of Quantum Technology.

Unstoppable in assessing challenging cardiac patients

Precise quantification on coronary calcifications can help to plan procedures in the cath lab. Watch the video.

Unstoppable in contrast sensitivity

Find out in this video how photon-counting detectors with cadmium-telluride crystals can reduce contrast agent volume by about fifty percent.

"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
