1 AS-64 slice configuration z-Sharp Tech.

The unique STRATON X-ray source utilizes an electron beam that is accurately and rapidly deflected, creating two precise focal spots alternating 4,608 times per second. This doubles the X-ray projections reaching each detector element. The two overlapping projections result in an oversampling in z-direction. The resulting measurements interleave half a detector slice width, doubling the scan information without a corresponding increase in dose. Siemens' proprietary UFC (Ultra Fast Ceramic) detectors and the corresponding 64-slice detector electronics enable a virtually simultaneous readout of two projections for each detector element - resulting in a full 64-slice acquisition. This sampling scheme is identical to that of a 64 x 0.3 mm allowing for reconstruction of 192 slices using 0.1 mm reconstruction interval increment. z-Sharp Technology, utilizing the STRATON X-ray sources and the UFC detectors, provides scan speed independent visualization of 0.33 mm isotropic voxels and a corresponding elimination of spiral artifacts in the daily clinical routine at any position within the scan field.

1 Standard UPS for Definition AS

The standard partial system uninterruptible power system (UPS) is built directly into the power distribution cabinet (PDC) and supports the critical circuits for table and gantry electronics, console computer, image reconstruction system, and the internal Ethernet switch (to ensure connectivity). This enables safe removal of patient if outage occurs during scanning.

The UPS allows for a safe shutdown of the CT scanner in the event of power interruption. The UPS provides 5-7 minutes of power, during which the user is prompted and guided through the process to perform a safe shutdown of the system. This safe shutdown ensures that no data is lost.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Description

Siemens’ latest wide bore 64-slices CT scanner designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern radiation therapy department. 80 cm large bore CT scanner.

Powered by:

- 80 kW generator and 50 MHU STRATON X-ray tube

- Stellar RT Detector: high-end detector equipped with Siemens’ most advanced detector technology

Ready for:

- Respiratory Motion Management: provides smooth 4D workflow and complete integration at the CT console with

Varian RGSC device

- DirectDensity™*: enables user to obtain electron densities directly from the CT images, allowing patients to be scanned at any kV setting**, and simplifying physics work for treatment planning

- ADMIRE: Siemens’ latest generation iterative reconstruction technique. Ideal for noise reduction for 4D scans and crisper images for bariatric patients

- iMAR metal artifact reduction: the first technique which addresses metal artifacts based on the specific location of metal in the body

- Dual Energy: can potentially aid in better tissue visualization and characterization

*DirectDensity reconstruction is designed for use in Radiation Therapy Planning (RTP) only. DirectDensity reconstruction is not intended to be used for diagnostic imaging.

**As shown by measurements with a Gammex 467 Tissue Characterization Phantom comparing standard reconstruction (kernel D30) and DirectDensity™ reconstruction (kernel E30). HU value to relative electron density conversion for the standard reconstruction was based on a two-linear-equations approach with individual calibration for each tube voltage. For DirectDensity™ images, a single tube-voltage-independent linear conversion was used.

The iMAR metal artifact reduction algorithm combines three successful approaches to reduce metal artifacts: beam hardening correction (in sinogram regions of less severe metal attenuation), normalized sinogram inpainting (in sinogram regions of high metal attenuation), and frequency split (to mix back noise texture and sharp details that are potentially lost during inpainting).

The correction process is then iteratively refined by repeating the normalized sinogram inpainting and the mixing steps thanks to the Adaptive Sinogram Mixing.

Along with the new algorithm comes the simple user interface of iMAR. Besides the typical reconstruction parameters it only requires to select the desired protocol from a drop down menu which contains the following type of implants: dental fillings, neuro coil, thoracic coil, hip implants, extremity implants, pacemakers, spine implants and shoulder implants.

The X-ray tube’s kilo voltage (kV) determines the average energy level of the X-ray beam. Changing the kV setting results in an alteration of photon energy and a corresponding attenuation modification of the materials scanned. In other words, X-ray absorption is energy dependent, e.g. scanning an object with 80 kV results in a different attenuation than with 140 kV. In addition, this attenuation depends also on the type of tissue scanned. Iodine, for instance, has its maximum attenuation at low energy, while its CT-value is only about half in high-energy scans.

The attenuation of bones, on the other hand, changes much less when exposed to low-energy scans compared to high-energy examinations. syngo Dual Energy Scan for Single Source exploits this effect: Two spiral data sets acquired in sequence at different energies show different attenuation levels.

FAST DE Results enables a straight forward Dual Energy workflow. You can select dedicated Dual Energy applications at the AWP and they will be sent directly to the PACS without any interaction needed. Available applications for FAST DE Results are:

- DE Monoenergetic (40 keV, 50 keV, 70 keV, 100 keV, 120 keV, 140 keV, 190 keV)

- DE Mixed images

FAST DE Results is as easy as selecting a recon job and will enhance you daily workflow significantly.

If required, HP services restore at the same time system and network functionality to allow Siemens Service to seamlessly continue with any further required remote service activity.

- Defective Media Retention Service – This option lets you protect sensitive data by keeping your defective disk, without the need to return defective media.

- Integrated service management: - Seamless cooperation and processes between SIEMENS and HP to ensure optimized end-to-end issue handling.

- Enhanced HW support – Provision of necessary BIOS-, Firmware and Driver update packages to keep the HW system up to date. Required patches and updates are provided remotely to be installed conveniently during the next application maintenance or service window by the responsible IT system administrator.
