Siemens Healthcare has announced it has received FDA clearance for its SOMATOM Perspective computed tomography scanner, according to a news release.
The SOMATOM Perspective is a 128-slice CT designed for community hospitals, critical access hospitals and outpatient centers, according to the company. One feature exclusive to the SOMATOM Perspective is its eMode feature, which Siemens said was created to determine and automatically select system scan parameters so that the CT operates with as low a load as possible.
"In our continued pursuit of customer excellence and innovation leadership, Siemens is proud to offer the SOMATOM Perspective CT system, which provides a high level of patient care at an outstanding total cost of ownership for all customers," said Kulin Hemani, U.S. vice president of CT for Siemens Healthcare, in the release. "Siemens designed the SOMATOM Perspective with customers' critical needs in mind, offering user-friendly features that expand the clinical portfolio, improve uptime and help enable efficient utilization as well as significant patient dose savings."
