Siemens Launches SIERRA Dose Reduction Initiative inComputed Tomography
In a continual commitment to patient care andradiation reduction in computed tomography (CT),Siemens Healthcare has launched SIERRA (SiemensRadiation Reduction Alliance) and has established anexpert panel to advance the cause of dose reduction in CT.The new Low Dose Expert Panel includes 15 specialists inradiology, cardiology and physics, who are internationallyrecognized for their publications on the subject of CTdose.
The panels objective is to generate proposals for howmanufacturers may continue to develop their technologyand to help users better adapt their procedures in order tobring about further dose reduction in CT.
Our aim as a leading innovator inthe field of computed tomography is toreduce radiation exposure for all typicalCT examinations below 2 mSv, whichis as low as the average annual dosedue to naturally occurring backgroundradiation. We are committed todoing everything we can to help ourcustomers reduce doses in CT withoutcompromising the diagnostic qualityof the examination in any way, saidSami Atiya, PhD, CEO, ComputedTomography, Siemens Healthcare.
