SOMATOM Pro.Pulse
Still, too many patients do not receive high-quality CT imaging for a conclusive diagnostic assessment. SOMATOM Pro.Pulse with Dual Source technology delivers the temporal resolution and scan speed needed to reduce motion artifacts in challenging patients.
Key Innovations
Technology designed for precision, speed, and operational excellence.
The Dual Source Difference
With two tubes and two detectors, gain the power and speed to scan challenging patients without beta-blockers, even with high or irregular heart rates.
ZeeFree Cardiac Imaging
Smart algorithms automatically align image stacks to correct for breathing motion, delivering crisp images of coronary arteries even if the patient breathes.
myExam Companion
Intelligent imaging guidance that supports users in performing everything from routine to complex cardiac or stroke scans, ensuring standardization.
AI-Powered Patient Positioning
The gantry-integrated FAST 3D Camera uses AI to facilitate precise patient positioning, while CARE Moodlight creates a calming atmosphere.
Robust Athlon™ Tubes
High tube power reserves of 825 mA even at 70 kV allow you to considerably reduce contrast media and examination costs.
Cost-Efficient Installation
Air-cooling technology and an integrated power generator mean no structural changes or separate technical rooms are required.
