Siemens Healthineers has shipped its first “Made in India” CT scanner from its new state-of-the-art medical imaging factory in Bengaluru, inaugurated on September 19, 2019. The Somatom go.platform with the Somatom go.Now and Somatom go.Up scanners offers unique automated workflows that helps users achieve profound clinical results. Manufacturing of the scanners has already started at the recently inaugurated Siemens Healthineers manufacturing facility in Bengaluru.

“With 350+ Somatom go. platform installations across the country, this manufacturing facility further strengthens our commitment to India.  Somatom go. platform CT scanners will help our customers expand their radiological portfolio, become more competitive and achieve consistent, user-independent quality”, said Suraj Chandrasekharan, Head of Diagnostic Imaging, Siemens Healthineers, India.

The Somatom go. platform has an innovative way of fulfilling its customers’ desire for efficient workflows and a high level of flexibility: It can be controlled via wireless tablet, a technology which paves the way for an entirely new mobile workflow. Users can control all routine and advanced examinations using just the tablet. The standardised work steps are designed so that the users can run the scan with just a few inputs. Automated post-processing makes it even easier to operate the scanners. The standardisation also gives radiologists additional assurance with regards to the diagnostic quality of the images.
