The aim of the training is to understand these key SOMATOM Drive SIEVIENS features so that you can prepare yourself to use SOMATOM Drive. • SOMATOM Drive main features • Addendum teamplay − Siemens User Services − Computed Tomography Page 3 | Unrestricted © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016 SOMATOM Drive Main Features SIEMENS Healthineers In this section, you will learn about the following main features of SOMATOM Drive. This is basic information to assist you in using the scanner. These are the topics that are listed to prepare you to use SIEMENS Healthineers ... the scanner. SOMATOM Drive CARE Dose4DTM SIEVIENS • • CARE kV • Integrated Iterative Reconstruction • CARE Screen powered by Tin Filter • iMAR • Touch Panels • FAST Planning • Cardiac CT Scanning • Dual Energy • CT Angio Examination Workflow • IT Security Computed Tomography Page 4 | Unrestricted © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016 CARE Dose4DTM SIEMENS Healthineers Usage and benefits • CARE Dose4DTM is an integrated system which automatically calculates the X-ray tube current for the individual patient and examination. You can optimize the patient dose. • The tube current will be adapted based on the attenuation data of a topogram. For optimum image quality and dose application based on patient size and body shape with CARE Dose4DTM, position the patient in the isocenter of the gantry. CARE Dose4DTM automatically modulates the tube current • during acquisition. A quality reference mAs is used to define - the baseline image quality based on the selected scan protocols. • The adaptation strength can be set depending on the organ characteristic and patient size. You can select the adaptation strength from five different settings, ranging from very weak to very strong. These can be set for different groups of patient size. Computed Tomography Page 5 | Unrestricted © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016 CARE kV SIEMENS Healthineers Usage and benefits CARE Dose4D M CARE KV On Quality ref. mAs 110| Ref. kV 100 M • CARE kV is an extension of CARE Dose4DTM which supports optimizing radiation exposure to patients.

You can use them at the same time. • The Tin Filter cuts lower energies which are highly absorbable in patients. • Lower your dose while maintaining image quality. • Ready for lung cancer screening as well as potential calcium scoring, sinus, spine and orthopedic use. • You will see protocols called “SPS” in which the Tin Filter is set as default. For example, o SinusSPS_IR o LungLowDoseSPS_IR o ColonographySPS_IR o C_SpineSPS_IR o SpineSPS_IR Computed Tomography Page 8 | Unrestricted © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2016 iMAR – iterative Metal Artifact Reduction SIEMENS Healthineers Usage and benefits • The iterative Metal Artifact Reduction (iMAR) reduces the effects of metal artifacts. • Metal objects, such as metal implants or metal markers, can cause beam hardening artifacts. Depending on density and size, these metal artifacts can lead to absorption of the radiation resulting in strong black or white streaks or in star-shaped artifacts. D • You can select the appropriate artifact correction w/o iMAR iMAR algorithm from a list within the menu.
