Date:11/30/2008

the business needs of healthcare providers, Siemens continues to deliver groundbreaking innovations. Healthcare providers around the world trust Siemens and our solutions, and have helped us achieve a market-leading position in diagnostic imaging."

The Innovations@RSNA launch area will showcase the following technologies:

Computed Tomography

Siemens introduces the SOMATOM(R) Definition Flash, a new dual-source CT that requires only a fraction of the radiation dose that systems previously required to scan even the tiniest anatomical details faster than ever before. The fastest scanning speed in CT (i.e., 43 cm/s) and a temporal resolution of 75 ms, enable complete scans of the entire chest region in just 0.6 seconds. Also, the SOMATOM Definition AS platform introduces a further expansion with its new 20-slice configuration, a large 31-inch (78 cm) gantry bore, optional 660 pounds (300 kg) patient weight capacity and high-scan speed, designed perfectly for high-patient throughput.

Magnetic Resonance

Siemens' latest innovation in MRI, the MAGNETOM(R) Espree - Pink, is a dedicated MR breast scanner which combines the Open Bore design of the MAGNETOM Espree with the Sentinelle Vanguard for Siemens, a breast coil solution that offers exceptional breast imaging and biopsy access. Enabling feet-first and head-first positioning and excellent access to perform biopsies, the system has unparalleled openness with a 70 cm Open Bore and the shortest system on the market (125 cm) for increased comfort. This MR system provides a comprehensive portfolio of routine and advanced applications for breast care, including syngo(R) VIEWS for routine imaging, syngo GRACE for spectroscopy, and syngo BLADE for motion-free imaging results.
