Siemens Somatom Sensation 16

The Siemens Somatom Sensation 16 Slice CT is among the most popular full-body,
multi-slice CT scanners available.
This scanner has the ability to perform 3D full body
and cardiac scans in excellent image quality. It is the ideal choice
for imaging centers on a budget.
In less than 20 seconds you can perform cardiac studies
with .75 slice up to 105 ms temporal resolution for a clear picture of coronary arteries.
With the Sensation 16, consistent high image quality for diagnostic precision,
streamlined workflow, and advanced applications that are easy to use were made
for the care of your patients.
