Siemens SOMATOM Sensation 64 Slice CT Scanner

The award-winning sensation series has given clinics top of the line results in every installation that it has to offer. The 64 slice edition of the Sensation series is no exception to the consistent excellence from Siemens. Before the Sensation 64, there was no CT scanner with the ability to take 192 images per second of the heart. This is the scanner that broke that barrier.   

The Sensation 64 puts patient safety first with a 70% reduction in the required radiation dosage and does so with no compromise to image quality and clarity. Even the smallest and most complex images of areas like the inner ear bones and joints can be captured and viewed easily.
