The Athens Medical Group has the first and only SOMATOM Pro.Pulse CT scanner in Greece
Athens Medical Group confirms its commitment to innovation and the provision of leading medical services, becoming the first in Greece to acquire the ultra-modern SOMATOM Pro.Pulse CT scanner from SIEMENS Healthineers. With the installation of the CT scanner at Athens Medical Center, high-level diagnostic services are offered, ensuring innovative diagnosis with unparalleled accuracy, scanning speed and lower radiation dose.
The Director of the Department of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Athens Medical Center, Mr. Nikos Bondozoglou, stated: “The Department of Computed Tomography of the Athens Medical Center is among the most advanced in Europe, offering highly specialized diagnostic services, covering the entire spectrum of imaging needs – from the most common to the most specialized and demanding examinations. It is staffed by distinguished radiologists with many years of experience and scientific training, as well as by highly trained technologists, with the common goal of providing immediate and reliable diagnoses. The recent addition of the ultra-modern CT SOMATOM Pro.Pulse significantly enhances the already advanced technological equipment of the Department, further upgrading the quality of our services, with even greater accuracy, speed and safety for the patient.”
The new SOMATOM Pro.Pulse CT scanner incorporates cutting-edge technology and introduces new data to medical imaging, providing exceptional accuracy and speed in imaging examinations.
One of its important applications in cardiology is the integration of ZeeFree technology, which makes the new CT scanner ideal for coronary angiography examinations with top accuracy. Thanks to its advanced algorithms, it provides “clear” images, without alterations from movements, even in cases where patients breathe, move or experience cardiac arrhythmia during the examination.
High-speed scanning capabilities significantly reduce examination time, allowing for faster diagnosis, while also offering the ability to examine large anatomical areas in minimal time, reducing the radiation received by the examinee. This capability makes the CT scanner ideal for pediatric examinations, without the need for anesthesia.
High-resolution detectors, combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, ensure unparalleled clarity with a lower radiation dose, and significant benefits for the patient, while ensuring more accurate diagnoses, whether routine examinations or complex examinations.
The ergonomic design of the SOMATOM Pro.Pulse, reduces patient anxiety and discomfort during the examination, as it allows examinations to be performed in such a position that the patient’s head is outside the machine. Additionally, it is the first CT scanner to feature a 3D camera, ensuring precise patient positioning for optimal image quality and reduced radiation.
With the addition of the most advanced CT scanner in Greece, Athens Medical Group further strengthens its leadership in the field of diagnostic imaging, confirming its commitment to continuous investment in cutting-edge technologies and services of high medical value.
