Introduction

The SOMATOM CT system is used to generate tomographic images of

the organs of a patient for diagnostic purposes in accordance with

the computed tomography procedures. The tomographic images

generated with this system can be viewed on a monitor, processed,

filmed, and exported.

The system consists of the following components:

(1) Acquisition system: gantry and patient table

(2) Console: computers, input units, monitor, control box, etc.

SOMATOM Scope can be operated in the x-ray department of a

hospital or doctor’s office. The CT system must be operated in rooms

that are designated for medical use.

•Components or software functionalities that may not be part of

your system configuration are described in your user

documentation. Not all the optional components and software

functionalities may be marked as optional. The availability of

these components or software functionalities depends on your

system configuration or your purchase contract.

•The pictures of the components shown here are only examples.

The appearance of your components depends on the system

configuration.

Intended use

SOMATOM Scope is a computed tomography system. This computed

tomography system is intended to generate and process cross-

sectional images of patients by computer reconstruction of X-ray

transmission data. The images delivered by the system can be used

by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis.

Indications for use

This computed tomography system is intended to generate and

process cross-sectional images of patients by computer

reconstruction of x-ray transmission data.

The images delivered by the system can be used by a trained

physician as an aid in diagnosis.

The images delivered by the system can be used by trained staff as

an aid in diagnosis, treatment preparation and radiation therapy

planning.

This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in

high risk populations.*

*As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical

literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial

(N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for
