Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) is presenting its entire range of product and services portfolio at Arab Health 2024 with several brand-new highlights, specifically in computed tomography and magnetic resonance, where the company is introducing visitors to its latest innovations.

At the 2024 edition of Arab Health, Siemens is highlighting the SOMATOM Pro.Pulse high-quality CT scanner with Dual Source technology that delivers the temporal resolution and scan speed needed to reduce motion artifacts in challenging patients. It also features myExam Companion which enhances the scanning experience for both users and patients. Siemens is also highlighting the MAGNETOM Free. MRI system featuring the world's first 80 cm bore that sets a new paradigm in patient comfort. Also being highlighted at the event is Biograph Vision.X PET/CT system with the industry's fastest time of flight (TOF) performance of 178 picoseconds (ps) providing outstanding performance gain of up to 20%, which in turn can translate to faster scans as well as lower injected dose and radiotracer costs.

Siemens is showcasing NAEOTOM Alpha, the world’s first photon-counting CT scanner that is designed to transform the information from X-ray photons passing through a patient's body and received by a detector, into a detailed 3-D. The images delivered by the system can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis or can be used by trained staff as an aid in diagnosis, treatment preparation, and radiation therapy planning. Additionally, Siemens is presenting the ACUSON Family of ultrasound systems that are designed to meet the clinical, operational, and financial needs in almost any clinical area. The ACUSON Family includes ACUSON Sequoia, ACUSON Redwood, ACUSON Juniper, and ACUSON P500 ultrasound systems. From ultra-premium to compact, these systems offer 12 new transducers to expand clinical flexibility, and new advanced tools for improved diagnostic accuracy and workflows.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
