Siemens Somatom Definition AS 128 – General Information

Today, the Siemens Somatom Definition AS 128 is widely used by institutions worldwide, as it helps its users overcome the most common limitations that more conventional multislice CT machines have. 

The Somatom Definition AS is an adaptive CT scanner, which: 

• Adapts to any patient
• Adapts for complete dose protection
• Adapts for new dimensions
• Adapts to your space

This means that the Definition AS has high patient safety and great conditions for finding a solution to any clinical question – and fast. The machine can do a full body scan of 2 meters in just 10 seconds due to the 128-slice detector. 

Because of the high true temporal resolution of 150 ms combined with the highest spatial resolution, as well as advanced scanning techniques, the Siemens Somatom Definition AS 128 produces highly reliable imaging. At the lowest possible dose. The machine uses CARE Dose4D™ technology to modulate doses in real-time, which is what ensures impeccable image quality at a low dose. This is no matter if you are dealing with pediatric, cardiac, trauma, or obese patients.
