Scientists at Siemens Medical Solutions have developed the world's first Dual Source Computed Tomography system
Dec 28, 2005
The new CT-system named Somatom Definition uses two X-ray sources and two detectors at the same time, and enables clinical imaging with unknown temporal resolution. It was introduced in November 2005.
Siemens Medical Solutions today unveiled the world's first dual source computed tomography (CT) system, a breakthrough that will redefine the role of CT. Siemens has pushed the technical and clinical boundaries of CT with this latest innovation, the Somatom Definition, which is faster than every beating heart and capable of imaging full cardiac detail with as much as 50 percent less radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans.
