Siemens SOMATOM X.cite

Family: Siemens SOMATOM X · Modality: CT

Single-source premium CT with an 82 cm ultra-wide bore and the myExam Companion guided-workflow layer. Positioned for radiation oncology simulation, bariatric, trauma, and interventional CT rooms where the 82 cm aperture matters — and as a high-end clinical scanner where a dual-source Force isn't required.

Platform highlights

  • 82 cm bore — widest in the Siemens CT portfolio. RadOnc-sim, trauma, and interventional workflows are primary drivers. Accommodates immobilization devices, large patients, and in-gantry procedures.
  • Vectron tube (premium generation) — 120 kW generator, up to 150 kVp for dense anatomy and iodine-reduction protocols.
  • myExam Companion — guided-workflow software layer that reduces operator decisions by standardizing protocol selection, positioning, and follow-up handling across technologists.
  • 128 acquired slices on the Stellar detector generation.
  • SnapShot Freeze + adaptive cardio — cardiac gating available though X.cite is not positioned as a Force-class coronary system.

Specs

  • 128 slices · 82 cm gantry aperture
  • 0.3 sec minimum rotation
  • Vectron tube (high-end)
  • 120 kW generator · up to 150 kVp
  • ADMIRE iterative reconstruction
  • myExam Companion guided workflow
  • Optional PET/CT integration in Biograph configurations

Clinical positioning

  • Radiation oncology simulation — the 82 cm bore is the reason RadOnc departments specify X.cite over a 70 cm clinical scanner; flat-top table and immobilization clearance drive the choice.
  • Bariatric imaging — dense-anatomy kVp range + aperture.
  • Interventional CT — biopsy, ablation, drainage where in-gantry working room matters.
  • High-volume outpatient CT where standardized workflow (myExam Companion) drives throughput consistency.
