In March 2011, all Somatom Definition AS configurations from entry level 20-slice to a premium 128-slice AS+ will come equipped with dose-reducing CARE technologies as standard features and workflow-optimizing FAST technologies as options. The technology platform and all its applications will be available within six months, as either standard or optional features on new systems. Natural consequences, according to the company, are faster, safer, and more reproducible results. The key is automation, as algorithms take over time-consuming tasks, suggest parameters for those affecting image quality and dose reduction, and standardize processes. It also cuts radiation dose and exam times. FAST CARE (which stands for Fully Assisting Scanner Technologies and Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) simplifies workflow during scanning and the preparation of image reconstructions. Seeking to drive down patient radiation dose, Siemens Healthcare unveiled a new technology platform for its CT scanners, one that not only cuts dose but speeds the exam and promotes more efficient patient handling.
