SOMATOM go.Now
1 SOMATOM go.Now
Powerful scanning every day. SOMATOM go.Now is equipped with targeted technologies and features that
will redefine the way you approach routine CT.
Make success your daily business
The expenses that come with a CT scanner always pose a certain amount of risk, particularly to
smaller institutions. In routine CT imaging, it’s not only about providing answers to patients, but
also about running a business. The SOMATOM® go. platform therefore comes with workflow and
usability innovations that improve efficiency independent of the individual user’s level of
experience. It makes advanced procedures available for daily routine. In addition, it includes a
completely redesigned service model and innovative features to reduce cost. The SOMATOM go.
platform addresses the needs of routine operations and beyond. It makes high-quality care
accessible and helps our customers run a successful CT business – allowing them to keep an eye
on profitability, stay competitive, and avoid unnecessary cost.
The SOMATOM go. platform started with our customers. Based on many conversations with
healthcare professionals, we realized that we needed to pursue new ideas and approaches to
computed tomography. We therefore conducted extensive interviews with 500 customers from 11
countries to find out about their everyday needs and challenges. In co-creation sessions, we asked
them what their ideal CT scanner for routine tasks would look like. Having gathered a wealth of
new insights, we commissioned a group of 50 Siemens engineers to build the best routine CT
scanner possible. The result is a completely new CT platform specifically designed to overcome
the obstacles associated with acquiring, operating, and maintaining a CT scanner. This is the
SOMATOM go. platform.
The SOMATOM go. platform is built on a groundbreaking concept of mobile operation and
workflow automation. By allowing users to deliver high performance every day, it helps our
customers establish and run an operational CT business efficiently.
The SOMATOM go. platform helps our customers integrate complex exams into daily practice.
They will be able to offer routine lung cancer screening, angiography, and more. Equipped with
premium technologies, the SOMATOM go. platform delivers results you would not expect from a
routine system.
The SOMATOM go. platform comes with highly reliable components, a cost-saving workstation
design, as well as a completely reworked service and training model. In short, it is an all-in-one
solution for financial certainty.
Stellar detector
The Stellar detector lowers image noise in every scan, while advanced iterative reconstruction from
SAFIRE delivers excellent image quality at very low doses*. This provides excellent and
homogenous image quality, even in complex areas, such the base of the skull, making it especially
relevant for routine neuro imaging. Higher spatial resolution improves the imaging of very small
bony structures such as those in the inner ear. This high-end technology together withan advanced
3D anti-scatter collimator is fully integrated in order to keep the electronic noise low, increasing
dose efficiency and improving spatial resolution. The smart configuration of the detector elements,
simplifies the access and eases up maintenance and increases scanner uptime.
Page 10 of 21
Item Description
* In clinical practice, the use of SAFIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical
task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a
physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for
the particular clinical task.
Inherited from high-end dual source scanners, the Tin Filter cuts out lower energies to reduce dose
and optimize image quality at the interface between soft tissue and air. This has direct benefits in
lung and colon imaging, for example. Clinical experience also shows that Tin Filter technology
reduces beam- hardening artifacts and improves image quality in bony structures, making it also
extremely useful in orthopedic examinations.
New mobile workflow*
A central element of optimizing performance and generating daily revenue is an entirely new
approach to operating the scanner. Built around a new mobile workflow, the SOMATOM go.
platform features a line-up of innovative solutions – tablet, remote control, camera, and a new
workplace design – that bring an unparalleled level of flexibility and mobility to daily CT routines.
The solutions also enhance patient comfort for potentially higher levels of patient satisfaction.
Tablet
The lightweight, high-resolution tablet gives you total freedom over how you work. With Scan&GO
technology, you just need a few steps
for the entire scan. Start checking patient information as soon as you collect them from the waiting
room, and then prepare the scan directly at the gantry to stay with the patient for longer. Since the
images are sent wirelessly from the scanner to the tablet, operators can return to the patient after
the scan and stay there while pre-viewing the images and communicating with radiologists for
instant feedback if required.
Remote control
The easy-to-use Bluetooth remote control complements the tablet operation by streamlining
scanning and making workflow processes more efficient. It simplifies patient positioning by
removing the need to use hard -to-reach controls on the gantry. Adjust the table position so
everything is ready to go once the patient arrives, and start the X-ray scan remotely. Then, end
examinations smoothly by moving the table into the unload position as soon as the scan is over.
New workplace design
Thanks to gantry-integrated computers, the SOMATOM go. platform gives our customers complete
flexibility over where they position their workstation. Depending on their needs and infrastructure,
they can set it up in the same room, outside the scan room, or in a separate control room. By using
the unique “niche” concept, for example, customers can position the console in the same room as
the scanner while being perfectly safe from radiation. Thus, they can stay longer with their patients
and solve any positioning problems quickly.
By helping you keep an eye on the patient at all times, the gantry-integrated camera makes it easy
to provide better care. Its 90° viewing angle gives you a superb view of the tunnel on the stationary
monitor. The close-up perspective makes it easy to spot even micro-movements and keep the
Page 11 of 21
Item Description
patient in the right position. In addition to the camera, the Halo assembly includes ambient mood
lighting and a digital visual countdown to help improve patient well-being and help them comply
with breath-hold times.
The gantry connector box is a key-locked storage box at the side of the gantry including also the
on-off gantry switch and an interface for USB ports and memory storage SD devices.
Standard accessories include paper roll holder, mattress for patient table, head holder, cushion set
for head holder, patient restraint set, straps, head rest, knee support cushion.
The excellent reliability of the SOMATOM go. platform also extends to the heart of the scanner: the
Chronon® tube. Featuring a highly robust design and 3.5 MHU anode heat Capacity (8.75 MHU
equivalent with SAFIRE), this X-ray tube is built to surpass the performance of its predecessor.
* Powered by Smart Remote Service. Siemens Healthineers Connect Plan is subject to regional
adaptions/restrictions.
** Excluding X-ray tube and tube. Additional tube and tablet coverage solutions optionally
available.
*** PEPConnect is subject toregional restrictions.
SOMATOM go.Now offers easy diagnosis in fewer workflow steps. It delivers sub- millimeter slices
over the full detector width, is equipped with a long-lasting tube, and features CARE i-Tilt for the
protection of sensitive organs while acquiring data from a non-tiltable gantry.
SOMATOM go.Now also offers solutions from high-end scanners. The Stellar detector is built on
proven technology, while advanced iterative reconstruction with SAFIRE in synergy with the Tin
Filter delivers excellent image quality at very low doses. SOMATOM go.Now has a generous scan
range of 125 cm table that can hold up to 160 kg. It is exceptionally thin, which means less
attenuation and less radiation needed to penetrate it. The standard table is fixed at a specially
selected and fully operational height, and is equipped with newly designed accessories.
Technical specifications

- Easy-to-use scan protocols: users can select scan volume (range), mAs, scan time and slice
width. Other parameters are automatically calculated and altered by the CT scanner to
accommodate the change made by the user.
- Multiply your clinical performance: any pitch value between 0.09 and 1.5 can be automatically
selected by the CT scanner, with constant IQ and no slice broadening.
FAST Planning
FAST Planning assists the scan and reconstruction planning, based on a topogram, to provide an
easier, faster and standardized workflow in CT scanning. FAST Planning features the selection of
the anatomical region of interest from a list prospectively defined scan and reconstruction ranges,
automatic detection of the scan region(s) of interest and proposal of corresponding scan range(s)
in the topogram (in a narrow or wide lateral FOV), optimized FOV and automatic iso-center
adaptation for Head scans.
FAST Planning makes CT scan set-up simple and intuitive, even for less experienced technicians.
This function can be used in critical clinical situations where there is no time for extensive manual
preparation. In addition, FAST Planning helps increase patient safety. The automatic parameter
setting allows precise organ coverage without overscanning, and limits the need for rescans due to
incorrect positioning. Moreover, the high degree of standardization increases reproducibility and
reliability, boosting diagnostic confidence.
FAST ROI
The FAST ROI feature automatically identifies regions of interest and calculates HU values in
bolus-tracking examinations.
The comprehensive iterative reconstruction method SAFIRE brings real raw data based iterative
reconstruction to the SOMATOM go. Dose reduction with CT has been limited by the currently
used filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction algorithm. When using this conventional
reconstruction of acquired raw data into image data, a trade-off between spatial resolution and
image noise has to be considered. Higher spatial resolution increases the ability to see the
smallest detail; however, it is directly correlated with increased image noise in standard filtered
back projection reconstructions as they are used in CT scanners today.
Iterative reconstruction approaches allow decoupling of spatial resolution and image noise. With
SAFIRE, two correction loops are introduced into the image generation process. These two
iteration loops utilize raw-data information to significantly improve image quality. The first loop,
where the data is re-projected into the raw data space (sonogram data) is utilized to correct
imperfections in the original reconstructions and reduce artifacts from the data. Additionally, in the
second loop, image noise is removed in the iterative corrections without degrading image
sharpness. The noise texture of the images is comparable to standard well-established convolution
kernels.
The new technique results in a significantly superior image quality with reduced noise and
increased image sharpness that can be translated to dose savings
To get immediately started with scanning at the right dose level, dedicated SAFIRE default scan
protocols with a reduced dose will be provided.
* In clinical practice, the use of SAFIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical
task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinicalpractice. A consultation with a radiologist and a
physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for
the particular clinical task. The following test method was used to determine a 54 to 60% dose
reduction when using SAFIRE.
Noise, CT numbers, homogeneity, low-contrast resolution and high contrast resolution were
assessed in a Gammex 438 phantom. Low dose data reconstructed with SAFIRE showed the
same image quality compared to full dose data based on this test. Data on file.
CARE Dose 4D
CARE Dose4D uses at first an automated adjustment of the dose level depending on patient size
based on the attenuation values obtained from the standard (singular) topogram along the patient z
axis. In addition CARE Dose4D uses an adaptation of the tube current based on the actual
attenuation of the X-ray beam measured around the patient.
CARE Filter: Specially designed X-ray exposure bow-tie filter installed at the tube collimator.
Pediatric Protocols: Special examination protocols with 80 kV and a large range of adjustable mAs
values for optimum adaptation of the radiation exposure to the age and weight of the child to be
examined.
CARE Topo: Real-time topogram, Manual interruption possible once desired anatomy has been
imaged.
CARE Bolus: Operating mode for CM-enhancement triggered data acquisition. The objective is
optimum utilization of the contrast medium bolus in its "plateau" phase in the target organ. This
option has been especially adapted to the increased speed and timing requirements resulting from
the multirow capability and faster rotation. The CM enhancement is observed via monitoring scans
in a user-defined ROI with a trigger threshold. As soon as the enhancement reaches its predefined
threshold, the spiral scan is triggered as quickly as possible..

Item Description
CARE Child - Special pediatric clinical protocols with 80 or 110 kV selection and a wide range of
mAs settings. The X-ray exposure is adapted to the child's (and small adult's) weight and age,
substantially reducing the effective patient dose
HD FoV*
For special clinical demands it is important to visualize areas outside of the regular 50 cm CT scan
field with sufficient accuracy to image the anatomy under evaluation. For this reason, special
reconstruction algorithms have been created to allow for visualization of objects/for soft tissue
beyond the 50 cm scan field. The HD FoV algorithms allow an image creation using an extended
FOV (e.g. contour visualization for dose calculation). Thus, it allows for better visualization for
obese patients and patients that are positioned outside the CT isocenter.
* Scans on a Gammex 467 phantom with water inserts show HU accuracy of ± 20 HU and a skin
line accuracy of ± 2 mm up to the full extended FOV. Clinical results may vary. Data on file.
Workstream4D
WorkStream 4D further enhances the workflow by offering direct generation of sagittal, coronal,
oblique or double-oblique reconstructed images directly from CT raw data as part of the CT
protocol. Unlike other automated MPR offerings, WorkStream 4D does not require thin slice data to
be reconstructed prior to the production of reformatted images. This enhancement saves time
when compared to alternative MPR techniques.
In Addition, WorkStream 4D allows the user to produce oblique and double oblique reformats as
either MPR or MIP images which substantially improves workflow both for routine and CTA
examination when compared with alternative techniques.
Use the measured data as effectively as possible with Interleaved Volume Reconstruction
(IVR).
Extract the maximum amount of diagnostic information from measured data
Enhance spatial sampling in z-direction, independent of pitch
Evaluate smallest structures such as lesions or fractures
X-CARE
X-CARE - Partial scanning to reduce direct X-ray exposure for dose-sensitive body regions, e.g.
the eye lens.
CARE i-Tilt
Additional flexible inline 3D reconstructions are available with CARE i-Tilt.
Combining i-Tilt for inline virtually tilted results with X-CARE, CARE i-Tilt keeps dose low for dose-
sensitive body parts, even with data acquired from a non-tiltable gantry (SOMATOM go.Now)
correct HU values are maintained without compromising on spatial resolution. By analyzing signal
quality and integrating information from neighboring detector elements into areas with low signals,
it can significantly reduce image noise.
DoseMAP
DoseMAP - Siemens CT Dose Management Program - creates transparency in dose values and
makes it possible to assess the dose situation. It improves security by setting dose alerts.
DoseMAP has three components for complete and comprehensive dose management: Report,
Analyze, and Protect.
