SOMATOM Definition AS CT Scanner

Maximize Outcome. Minimize Dose.

The Definition AS is a CT scanner capable of adapting to virtually every patient and every clinical question. Scalable from 20 up to 128 slices, it can be configured to your specific clinical needs and upgraded on site as your demands grow.

Built on the FAST CARE platform, it is designed to maximise clinical outcome and patient-centred productivity while keeping radiation dose as low as possible. It can also be upgraded with the Stellar detector for better signal detection and lower noise.

The Definition AS is a good fit if you:

  • Run a hospital or a busy diagnostic centre
  • Want to start or grow cardiac CT
  • Handle trauma and emergency cases
  • Scan everyone from children to bariatric patients
  • Want a scanner you can upgrade as you grow

Key Features

What you get with a refurbished Definition AS.

Stellar Ready

Upgradeable to the Stellar detector, which processes the signal without losses, cuts electronic noise and enables true 0.5 mm slices with up to 102 dB dynamic range.

Entry into Dual Energy

Adds material information to the image, for example non-invasive gout assessment and monoenergetic images that reduce metal artifacts.

Single-Click Planning

FAST Planning, FAST Spine and the FAST Cardio Wizard set scan and recon ranges automatically, so results are reproducible between operators.

Low-Dose CT

CARE kV, X-CARE, Adaptive Dose Shield and SAFIRE reconstruction (up to 60% dose reduction in phantom tests) keep dose low in every scan.

Open for All Patients

A 70 kV mode for paediatric imaging, a 307 kg table for bariatric patients and up to 42 cm dynamic coverage with Adaptive 4D Spiral.

Sliding Gantry Option

The gantry can run on rails for trauma, CT-guided surgery and angiography, or be shared between two rooms, in all 20 to 128 slice configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we get about the Definition AS.

It depends on the slice configuration, tube condition, software options, year of manufacture and the installation work at your site. Share your requirements with us and we will send a detailed quote for the units we currently have.

A 64 slice system covers routine CT and basic cardiac work well and costs less. A 128 slice system is better if you expect a steady cardiac CT volume, perfusion studies or a high daily patient count. Tell us about your case mix and we will suggest the right option.

Yes. The Definition AS is fully upgradeable on site from 20 to 128 slices, and can also be upgraded to the Stellar detector, so you can start with a lower configuration and move up as your patient load grows.

Yes. A dedicated 70 kV scan mode supports low-dose paediatric imaging, and the high-capacity table carries patients up to 307 kg.

Yes. We offer preventive maintenance, AMC and CMC contracts, tubes and other spare parts, and technical support, so your scanner stays up and running.
