Siemens Healthineers launches new Somatom Confidence RT Pro CT scanner

28th September 2016

Siemens Healthineers has announced the introduction of its new Somatom Confidence RT Pro computed tomography (CT) scanner.

The device, launched at the recent annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology is one of the first CT scanners specifically designed to fulfil the needs of two groups of radiation therapy professionals: radiation oncologists and physicists.

Key features include the new DirectDensity algorithm, which allows personalised images of the patient to be produced for optimal tumour and organs-at-risk contouring by the clinician, while optimising images for radiation therapy treatment dose calculation performed by physicists.

Meanwhile, it also features a new version of the syngo.via RT Image Suite software, which is designed to support a smooth workflow and reduce sources of error.

As such, it incorporates all the functionality of a CT simulator, producing images to define the target and organs at risk for treatment prescription, in addition to the great image quality needed for contouring.

Dr Gabriel Haras, head of radiation oncology at Siemens Healthineers, said: "This new offering complements the dedicated Siemens Healthineers MR, CT, PET/CT and software portfolio for radiation therapy and demonstrates how it can help healthcare facilities improve their outcomes, while also lowering costs."
