March 14, 2019 — Siemens Healthineers will introduce the Somatom go.Top Cardiovascular Edition, a new version of its establishedcomputed tomography (CT)system, at the 68th Annual Scientific Session and Expo of theAmerican College of Cardiology (ACC), March 16-18 in New Orleans. The Somatom Go.Top Cardiovascular Edition is designed to deliver personalized patient dose control in all types of routinecardiovascular imaging. The cost-effective, 128-slice scanner offers outpatient cardiology offices as well as hospitals access to not just coronary CT angiography (CCTA), but also advanced tests, including the HeartFlow FFRCT (fractional flow reserve computed tomography) Analysis.
The system’s tablet-based mobile workflow not only simplifies and streamlines cardiac image acquisition, but it also enables the technologist to remain with the patient to help ensure comfort and calm – key factors for a successful cardiac exam. The CARE kV feature automatically selects the optimal kV setting for each patient with the precision of 10 kV increments, for personalized reduced radiation dose control as well as improved contrast enhancement. The system also has a fast native temporal resolution required for optimal visualization of coronary arteries.
HeartFlow FFRCT分析是由HeartFlow公司开发的一种个性化心脏测试，使临床医生能够更好地评估堵塞对血液流动的影响，并确定患者的最佳治疗方案。
GO technologies help reduce workflow inconsistencies and variabilities that can result in poor image quality. For example, the Check&GO algorithm helps identify problems associated with anatomical coverage and contrast media distribution as they occur.
