MEDRAD® Centargo: Ideal Solution to Optimize Workflow For High Volume Hospitals, Synchronized with Siemens Healthineers systems
 

Amid increasing pressures in healthcare settings, MEDRAD® Centargo offers an automated contrast injection solution that shortens the turnaround time between scans and reduces manual steps for technologists. This allows medical staff to focus more on patient care.
 

Equipped with cutting-edge piston-based technology, Bayer’s Centargo CT injection system offers exceptional iodine delivery rates, precise fluid administration, and minimal flow rate variability compared to traditional peristaltic pump systems. Its superior performance is further highlighted by its three syringes designed for saline and contrast agents. This configuration ensures flexibility and accuracy in contrast dosing, which leads to consistent imaging quality—a critical factor in effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
 

In addition to its hardware advantages, this CT injector system boasts advanced software features, including DualFlow, Smart Protocol, and ISI functions. These capabilities enable personalized contrast media protocols, precise dosing, and synchronization with Siemens Healthineers CT scanners, enhancing the overall imaging process.

MAGNETOM Flow: AI-Powered MRI with Sustainability at Its Core
 

MAGNETOM Flow is Siemens Healthineers’ brand new next-generation 1.5T MRI system, built on a fully scalable platform with a helium-independent, sealed magnet design. Utilizing just 0.7 liters of liquid helium, the DryCool technology eliminates the need for refills1, marking a breakthrough in environmentally responsible imaging.
 

Empowered by AI-driven capabilities like Deep Resolve, MAGNETOM Flow enhances diagnostic precision with deep learning-based image reconstruction, improving image quality while drastically reducing scan times by up to 88%2. The system also features myExam Autopilot and myExam Assist, which automate and optimize scanning protocols for over 90% of anatomical regions3, helping standardize image quality and reduce repeat scans.
 

MAGNETOM Flow is especially valuable in neurology and oncology, offering highly detailed imaging for early detection of conditions such as stroke, neurodegeneration, brain tumors, liver cancer, and breast cancer. Its noise reduction technology ensures a quieter, more comfortable experience for patients, enhancing compliance and satisfaction.

SOMATOM Pro.Pulse: Dual Source CT for the Next Era of Diagnostic Imaging
 

SOMATOM Pro.Pulse is Siemens Healthineers’ latest high-end Dual Source CT system, equipped with two X-ray tubes and two detectors, enabling an outstanding temporal resolution of 86 milliseconds4. This allows clinicians to capture high-quality images even in patients with high or irregular heart rates.
 

The system integrates ZeeFree, an AI-based algorithm that automatically corrects cardiac motion artifacts, and Best Phase, which identifies the optimal cardiac phase for clearer coronary imaging. This makes it a powerful tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction.
 

SOMATOM Pro.Pulse also enhances tissue characterization through Dual Energy CT, delivering up to 30% higher spectral separation5. This supports more accurate assessment of lesions and abnormalities, especially in oncology. In addition, the low kV protocol can reduce contrast media volume by up to 49%6—a critical benefit for patients with renal impairment, children, the elderly, or those at risk of adverse reactions to contrast agents.
