Siemens Introduces New Dual Energy Applications to SOMATOM Definition
Date:3/10/2008

ins Peter Kingma, Vice President, CT, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. "The Definition already offers enhanced resolution, speed, and power. Now, we are adding convenience of use to the mix."

One of the new dual energy applications for the SOMATOM Definition is syngo(R) DE Heart PBV (Perfusion Blood Volume), which provides color-marking of non-perfused parts of the myocardium during cardiology examinations. Moreover, syngo DE Heart PBV enables the isolated display of the heart, for example, without thorax structures. The heart perfusion is examined primarily after an infarction to determine damaged areas of the organ. For the first time, DECT can detect a stenosis and its degree, as well as the location and extent of the resulting reduced perfusion in the myocardium in a single scan.

Deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints of gout patients may damage the cartilaginous and osseous substance, particularly if the disease has been chronic for several years. With syngo DE Gout, CT can now also be used for gout detection. The new dual energy application assists the physician in clearly identifying uric acid crystals in the extremities and monitoring changes in the crystals in the course of treatment.

syngo DE Lung Vessels provides a whole series of applications to assist the physician in CT examinations of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism -- a sudden occlusion of blood vessels in the lungs. The new applications enable the detection of non-perfused blood vessels and tissue of the lungs through color-marking. The "lung isolation" application isolates the entire organ to allow the assessment of the perfusion situation without obstructing neighboring organs.

syngo DE Brain Hemorrhage assists in the distinction between new and old hemorrhages in the event of cerebral bleeding. The two energy levels of the X-ray tubes are used to fade out the contrast medium (CM). In the past, this had required two scans. The contrast medium subtrac
