Introduction
This cookbook is designed for users of SOMATOM CT systems, providing a guide to personalized CT imaging in radiation therapy (RT).
Benefits of Image Optimization
Image optimization is crucial in RT for contouring and dose calculation. Siemens Healthineers’ CARE kV technology optimizes tube voltage and effective tube current for predefined image quality at the lowest possible radiation dose.
DirectDensity Technology
DirectDensity is an innovative technology that enables the use of a single calibration curve for all tube voltage and beam filtration settings, removing the constraint of a fixed tube voltage setting.
It allows for unconstrained use of tube voltage optimization, resulting in high-quality optimized images and a standardized workflow.
