Somatom Force

World innovation in computerized tomography.
Somatom Force, a new high-end CT scanner from Siemens Healthcare, enables gentle CT diagnostics for sensitive patient groups, e.g. very young or seriously ill patients. The device, which works with reduced radiation doses, is considerably faster and more precise than traditional devices. The NOMEN name is a combination of the Greek words “soma” (engl.: body) and “tomé” (engl.: cut).
