New Technology
With outstanding imaging, short
examination times, pre-installed scan
protocols, and optimized utilization of
the X-ray tube, this all-rounder meets
and exceeds all demands of daily clinical
routine.
The SOMATOM Spirit technology and
design with its small and efficient gantry,
developed and realized in 2005, has many
advantages compared to bulky gantries
that were designed years ago. Our
ongoing development of the SOMATOM
Spirit means that you will constantly
work with and profit from cutting-edge
technologies. You will benefit, not onlyfrom the ease of use and reduced dose,
but also from the excellent image quality
supported by standard and advanced 3D
postprocessing applications that speedily
deliver the information and quality you
need for confident diagnoses.
New Technology
During the engineering phase, one of
the most important considerations was
reliability. Backed by all the know-how
and expertise we have acquired over
30 years at the forefront of clinical CT, you
can expect high level performance and
reliability from your new SOMATOM Spirit.Our extensive manufacturing experience
supplemented with the feedback from
thousands of enthusiastic users has made
it possible for us to design and develop
an extremely reliable and technically
advanced system with a high uptime.

More Performance
Patient and physician will profit from the
advantages of Multislice CT. Compared to
single slice systems, Multislice CT scanners
represent a technological milestone with
respect to increased volume coverage,
higher resolution, shorter examination
times, and better utilization of the X-raytube output while Siemens real-time
CARE Dose4D reduces dose to the absolute
practical minimum. Additionally, even
corpulent patients can be comfortably
scanned due to the 40 kW generator and
3.5 MHU tube.
More Performance
The SOMATOM Spirit is an innovative
dual slice CT with a collimated slice width
down to 1 mm and a gantry rotation
speed of up to 0.8 seconds. Therefore,
routine CT examinations, such as
thorax scans, can be easily performed
in a single breath-hold.

More Performance
Whats more? SOMATOM Spirit offersa comprehensive spectrum of CT
applications: The standard application
portfolio includes real-time Multi Planar
Reformatting (MPR), 3D SSD (Surface
Shaded Display), Volume measurements,
and CT-Angiography. To customize
SOMATOM Spirit to the individual needs
of each facility, there are additionalapplications available optionally
supporting, e.g., 3D visualization and
diagnosis of lumen. Dental surgeons and
orthopaedic physicians can also profit
from special applications tailored to their
specific needs.
The SOMATOM Spirit combines newinnovations with successful and proven
functions, technologies, and components
from other SOMATOM products resulting
in highly automated scanning and data
processing.

CARE Dose4D
CARE Dose4D, an unparalleled
combination of maximum image quality
at minimum dose, is an example of our
philosophy to provide a wide range ofdose-reduction solutions. Because every
patient is unique in terms of size, weight,
and anatomy, we developed a fully
automated dose management system.
The tube current is adapted in real-time
and according to the anatomy of eachindividual patients organ.

Siemens UFC
Detector
Siemens has a long history of unrivalledexpertise regarding detector technology
from scintillators and photodiodes
to electronics where only a few
thousandths of a millimeter make the
difference.
The Ultra Fast Ceramic (UFC) Detectorsystem is the central part of all Siemens
CT scanners. Due to this component alone,
many clinical innovations have been
achieved. Speed, image quality, and low
dose are what Siemens UFC detectors
make possible.
Speed
Conventional ceramic scintillator materialhas a long afterglow effect. Siemens
ceramic UFC scintillators excel in fast
decay behavior and an extremely short
afterglow time.
Image qualityAs CT systems become faster, the role of
image quality becomes more important.
Siemens UFC scintillators acquire large
patient volumes quickly and provides high
image resolution.
Low dose
UFC ceramic scintillators allow for the
lowest possible dose. Due to theirluminous efficiency with an optimized
wavelength, the detectors allow for the
applied X-ray dose to be optionally
evaluated according to the patients
anatomy.

The Underlying Technology
SureView
The introduction of Multislice CT has
opened the door to a new era of
clinical applications. However, it also
introduced certain limitations resultingfrom the increased complexity in image
acquisition, reconstruction procedures,
and algorithms. But there are innovative
ways to overcome such pitfalls. The
solution Siemens offers is the fast
spiral image reconstruction software
SureView.
High-quality imaging at low doseTo facilitate consistent image quality at
any pitch even for long scans, Siemens
invented SureView the dedicated spiral
image reconstruction algorithm.
Easy to use
SureView features easy-to-use scan
protocols, where the user only needs
to select the scan range, mAs, scan time,
and slice width. All other parameters
are automatically calculated by the
scanner.
Excellent lung imaging in one breath-hold.
