What is a large-bore simulation CT?
The Siemens next-generation dual-energy photon 4D large-bore helical simulation CT achieves industry-leading performance, including a multi-slice large-bore design, high rotation speed, superior image resolution, and an expanded high-definition field of view (HDFOV). It enables highly accurate contour delineation in terms of both image quality and precision, forming the foundation for precise treatment planning and delivery. It also allows rapid and accurate image acquisition of all body regions in various patient positions.
This system is particularly suitable for tumors with complex shapes or those located adjacent to critical organs, as well as tumors requiring multi-field irradiation or complex rotational dose distributions, including but not limited to:
• Head and neck: glioma, pituitary tumor, brainstem tumor, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, maxillary sinus cancer, laryngeal cancer
• Thoracic region: lung cancer, breast cancer
• Abdominopelvic region: liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer
• Others: metastatic tumors, bone and soft tissue tumors
1. Diagnostic-Grade Image Quality Spatial resolution up to 20 LP/cm, clearly differentiating gray and white matter, providing a solid foundation for precise target delineation.
2. Dual-Energy Scanning Platform Acquires high-contrast images with dual-energy exposure; virtual monoenergetic imaging effectively reduces patient radiation dose.
3. Direct Density™ Technology Electron density normalization technology, using a single curve for all energies, ensuring accurate dose calculation.
4. Extra-Large Bore Design 80 cm large bore with extended reconstruction field of view enables full-bore imaging and eliminates artifacts.
5. Stellar RT Photon Detector Specifically designed for radiotherapy simulation, fourth-generation packaging reduces electronic noise and achieves ultra-high resolution.
6. STRATON Zero-MHz X-ray Tube Equivalent thermal capacity up to 50 MHU with rapid heat dissipation, easily handling high-throughput continuous scanning.
7. Four-Dimensional Real-Time Dose Modulation CARE Dose 4D technology automatically adjusts dose, saving over 60% radiation while ensuring safety and efficiency.
