Siemens Healthineers has completed the first U.S. installations of its Somatom go.Up CT scanner; the scanner was installed at two outpatient facilities of the Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI).
The scanners were installed at St. Luke's Hospital's CDI unit in Chesterfield, MO, and at St. Luke's CDI facility in Frontenac, MO.
Features of the go.Up scanner include a wide detector that provides up to 64 slices of coverage and a workflow that enables users to control routine examinations using only a tablet computer. This allows a new, mobile workflow in which staff members no longer need to move between the scanner and control room, Siemens said.
