Siemens CT-Scan devices have gained a lot of attention in medical imaging centers due to their high image quality and advanced technologies. In response to your questions, the following explanations are provided:
Scientific features of Siemens CT scanners
1. Advanced imaging technology: Siemens CT scanners use modern technologies to create high-resolution, high-precision images that help diagnose diseases more accurately.
2. Number of slices: Different models of these devices come with different numbers of slices (e.g. 64, 128 or more), which allow for faster and more detailed imaging.
3. Radiation dose reduction: Using advanced techniques, the radiation dose received by the patient during imaging is reduced, leading to greater patient safety.
Types of imaging that can be performed with Siemens CT scan machines
CT Angiography: This procedure is used to examine blood vessels and detect problems such as stenosis, blockage, or aneurysm.
• CT scan of the heart: To evaluate the coronary arteries and heart function.
• CT scan of the brain: To detect tumors, hemorrhages, and other brain abnormalities.
• CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis: To examine internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines.
Patient weight bearing in Siemens CT scanners
The weight capacity of CT scanners varies depending on the model. Some imaging centers in Tehran use machines that are suitable for patients weighing over 100 kg. For example, Dr. Taghiloo Imaging Center uses an open CT scanner that has no weight limit and is suitable for patients with high weight.
However, some centers may have restrictions on accepting patients weighing over 100 kg. For example, in some centers, patients weighing over 100 kg and athletes may face difficulties in undergoing MRI and CT scans.
Comparing Siemens CT Scan Machines with Other Brands
• Image quality: Siemens devices provide high-quality and high-resolution images due to the use of advanced technologies.
• Imaging speed: Due to the high number of slices, these devices are capable of faster imaging, which is useful for patients in critical conditions.
• Radiation dose reduction: The technologies used in Siemens devices help reduce the radiation dose received by the patient, which is an important advantage over some other devices.
• Ergonomic design: Some Siemens models have designs that provide greater comfort for patients and reduce problems such as fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia).
Hot flashes in Siemens CT scanners
Claustrophobia, or fear of enclosed spaces, can occur in some patients when using older CT scanners. However, the more modern Siemens machines, with their more open designs and more space, help to alleviate this problem. For example, open CT scanners are more suitable for people who are claustrophobic.
Conclusion: Siemens CT scanners are a good choice for imaging centers, utilizing advanced technologies, high image quality, suitable imaging speed, and reduced radiation dose. Considering the specific needs of patients, such as high weight or fear of enclosed spaces, choosing the right model of these devices can help improve patient experience and diagnostic accuracy.
