Somatom Force VB30 CT has two sources of X -rays and two energy levels, helping to capture moving objects at high speed, for example, fast heartbeat, arrhythmia.
CT Somatom Force VB30 super machine manufactured by Siemens (Germany) was put into use by Tam Anh Hanoi General Hospital from 7/2. The machine can scan and regenerate up to 100,000 ultra -thin slices in one shooting, rapid evaluation of cardiovascular disease, cancer.
According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hien, Director of the Diagnostic and Dien Quang diagnostic center, Tam Anh Hanoi General Hospital, CT scan in the heart is different from other internal organs due to regular movement. In people with high heart rate, cardiovascular tomography is a challenge. The device needs to have a fast speed to avoid causing blur of images. CT scanners are usually not enough speed to take a clear heart photography. Doctors will have to prescribe medicine to slow the heart rate for these patients to have better CT photographic quality.

Somatom Force VB30 CT machine overcomes the above disadvantages. The shutter speed reaches 737 mm/s, which can take a whole body in less than 2 seconds. This speed is dozens of times faster than ordinary CT generations and many times more CT scanes. On the other hand, with the image resolution speed of up to 66ms, the machine has the ability to “freeze” the movement of the object, object, take pictures between a heart beat of the heart or a breath. As a result, the recording of all heart rate, especially high pacemakers or arrhythmia, with sharp heart images.
“From here, patients with irregular heart rate or arrhythmia, even the rhythm of more than 100 times/minute no longer have to use beta blockers (heart rhythmic drugs) when CT scan,” said Assoc. That CT scan is now easier in those who are difficult to lie still or hold breathing like children, the elderly, people with lung disease, unconsciousness, injury …
On the other hand, with two sources of X -rays at different energy levels at the same time, this CT helps collect two data sets with different levels of decline. Since then, the machine helps to distinguish many types of tissue, supporting accurate diagnosis. For example, the machine helps to distinguish calcification and non -calcified atherosclerosis, from which the doctor classifies the risk in cardiovascular patients. Or, the machine supports tumor distinctions, urinary stones; Distinguish ligament and joint damage; Detecting small lesions thanks to low -dose scan with contrast injection …
Artificial intelligence (AI) is combined in the machine to process movies after shooting. The Alpha feature helps to mark and analyze the human anatomical landmark, automatically recognize the surgical landmarks on the film, support the doctor quickly to locate the organs, soft tissue, bones, blood vessels. .. These features help minimize subjective errors when measuring and analyzing images.
In addition, the Fast Phase program automatically supports cardiovascular survey to help adjust and choose the most clear and useful images. The doctor diagnosed quickly, conveniently, more accurately, limiting the implementation of other subclinical to support the diagnosis as before.

CT Somatom Force VB30 has the ability to reproduce the maximum number of slices, only 0.4mm slice thickness. Patients only need to perform once and inject medicine, limiting posture changes. Turbo Flash mode scanning extremely fast helps reduce X -ray and contrast dose, tin filter helps protect patients from low energy radiation. The doctor may survey the same coronary, brain and the astronaus; Coronary artery and heart perfusion. Meanwhile, conventional CT models limit the shooting speed and width of the field, causing the patient to shoot many times, the diagnosis time is longer with double radiation.
In addition to cardiovascular – blood vessels, Somatom Force VB30 CT can serve in many fields of medical examination and treatment such as neck, chest, heart – heart – blood vessels, cancer, digestive, musculoskeletal, kidney – Urology, orthopedic injuries … The machine is equipped with metal noise removal feature up to 80%, so that CT scans for patients can combine bones with screws, artificial hip joints …
Mr. Fabian Martin Singer, CEO of Siemens Healthineers Vietnam judges Somatom Force can assist doctors to make an accurate and faster diagnosis, helping to optimize the regimen and improve the effectiveness of treatment for patients . Since then, the machine contributes to improving the quality of imaging diagnosis in Vietnam.
