Siemens Somatom Emotion 16

The Siemens SOMATOM Emotion 16 CT system combines efficiency,
leading clinical applications, and simple workflow to bring better clinical outcomes
and greater financial success.
The Emotion 16 offers high-quality images with menial life-cycle cost,
and reconstruction of up to 16 images per second.
This system is very compact, needing only 18 square meters of space,
designed with a 70 cm aperture, a 50 cm scan field and a patient table
that can hold patients up to 440 pounds.
Perform routine exams as well as detailed and high resolution exams
with the Siemens Somatom Emotion 16.
