Scalable 20- to 128-Slice Configuration
The SOMATOM Definition AS is scalable from 20 up to 128 slices with full on-site upgradability, allowing facilities to start with a configuration matched to their clinical mix and expand capacity as patient volumes grow.
Stellar Detector Readiness
The platform is Stellar detector-ready, supporting upgrade to Siemens' first fully integrated CT detector. The Stellar detector measures smaller signals across a wider range, reducing noise and enhancing image quality at lower dose.
Dual Energy Imaging Capability
Dual Energy on the SOMATOM Definition AS delivers tissue characterisation, material differentiation, and monoenergetic reconstruction. Applications include syngo.CT DE Gout for non-invasive uric acid assessment and metal-artifact-reduced imaging.
FAST CARE Platform
FAST CARE combines Fully Assisting Scanner Technologies with Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure. FAST Planning streamlines scan preparation, while CARE kV, CARE Dose4D, and X-CARE deliver real-time dose modulation.
SAFIRE Iterative Reconstruction
SAFIRE Sinogram-Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction enables dose reduction without compromising image quality, supporting low-dose imaging across paediatric, oncology, follow-up, and lung screening examinations.
78 cm Wide Open Gantry Bore
A 78 cm wide bore accommodates paediatric, bariatric, and trauma patients with virtually no exclusions. Open CT design supports interventional access and improved patient comfort during scanning.
DICOM and PACS Workflow Integration
Full DICOM 3.0 connectivity with syngo workplace, scanner-injector coupling, and PACS, RIS, HIS, and EMR integration streamlines reporting, archiving, and clinical communication across hospital networks.
