SOMATOM go.Up
Expand your successful CT business

In CT imaging today, it is not just about providing answers to patients but

also about running a business. This means that healthcare providers have to
differentiate themselves in an intensely competitive market.

We developed the SOMATOM go. platform to help you achieve daily success.
As a member of this family, SOMATOM go.Up comes with technology that is
completely new to scanners of its kind. It makes advanced procedures available
for daily practice. In addition, it includes an innovative workplace design and
an entirely redesigned service model to reduce costs. On Page 73, we provide
an overview of the unique, segment-leading features that SOMATOM go.Up
brings to your institution.

Among other things, SOMATOM go.Up opens up the field of preventive care
for your routine operations. It features myExam Companion, which helps
you to adapt and individualize scan parameters, making it easier and faster
to perform all possible scans. You benefit from advanced clinical results and
can expand your successful CT business to include even advanced fields like
spectral imaging with TwinSpiral Dual Energy.

SOMATOM go.Up takes you beyond routine. Enhance your portfolio, enter
the fields of preventive care and radiation therapy planning – and substantially
expand the services you can offer your patients. Equipped with premium
technologies, SOMATOM go.Up enables, for example, cardiac assessment via
calcium scoring examinations.
