Additionally, the new scanner allows for automated scan preparation, improved diagnostic confidence, and customised patient dose, making it ideal for high-volume practices and emergen...

  At Siemens US Innovation Day in Chicago, Siemens introduced a breakthrough solution for the development of autonomous driving systems. The solution, part of the Simcenter portfolio, minimises the need for extensive physical prototyping while dramatically reducing the number of logged test miles necessary to demonstrate the safety of autonomous vehicles.

Siemens Healthineers has just received FDA clearance for its MAMMOMAT Revelation. It is the first mammography system capable of automatic breast density measurement during the exam itself, as opposed to during review of the images. The system performs tomosynthesis scans with an angle range of 50 degrees, the widest on the market, which helps to work with overlapping breast tissue and giving a more detailed 3D view.

At the American College of Cardiology’s 67th Annual Scientific Session and Expo, Siemens Healthineers launched its new portable cardiovascular ultrasound solution, the ACUSON Bonsai. According to a recent study, 34 million echo exams were performed in the U.S. in 2017. The ACUSON Bonsai addresses the challenge of these increased clinician workloads by providing a portable and quick system, while maintaining high-quality imaging and diagnost...

Siemens has entered into an agreement to acquire Oulu, Finland-based Sarokal Test Systems Oy, provider of innovative test solutions for fronthaul networks that are comprised of links between the centralised radio controllers and the radio heads (or masts) at the 'edge' of a cellular network. Sarokal products are used by chipset vendors, fronthaul equipment manufacturers, and telecom operators to develop, test and verify their 4G and 5G netwo...

There’s a lot of debate right now about the future of robots and the number of humans they will replace once they get their AI empowered ‘feet’ under the desk or the workbench.

Scalable digital solutions that aid companies to stay ahead of the game and utilise the full potential of digitalisation is what Siemens Digital Enterprise portfolio has to offer at this year’s SPS Drives show, and the company does not stop there. Siemens also offers opportunities to learn about how its 'digital twins' provide major advantages for machine building and plant engineering.

The FDA has cleared the MAGNETOM Terra MRI scanner from Siemens Healthineers – the first-ever 7 Tesla MRI cleared for diagnostic imaging. This advanced ultra-high-field scanner produces cross-sectional images of the head and knee, and is intended for patients over 66 lbs. The system’s neurological and musculoskeletal (MSK) applications have the potential to help physicians achieve unprecedented breakthroughs in clinical care by reveal...

Serving as an efficient transmission route in medium-voltage AC grids from 30-50kV, Siemens has introduced a new direct-current transmission system to the market; the MVDC PLUS (Medium Voltage Direct Current Power Link Universal System). Siemens has developed the transmission system for grid operators who need to enlarge their infrastructure to handle the increasing volumes of power fed into the distribution system from distributed and renew...

Siemens Healthineers has just unveiled their brand new MAGNETOM RT Pro edition for MAGNETOM Vida, a 3 Tesla MRI scanner specifically designed for planning radiation therapy procedures. It has a new magnet, a pretty large 55x55x50 field of view, and an optional 60/200 XT gradient system that the firm believes may improve geometric distortions.

Siemens Healthineers has just won the first European regulatory approval for an ultra-high-field MRI scanner to be used in clinical practice. The Magnetom Terra sports a magnetic field strength of 7 Tesla, which is considerably more powerful than 3 Tesla, the current high-end standard. MRIs of such strength have been used in research hospitals for years, so it’s a welcome sign that they’re going to be used in more routine applications...

  Siemens Healthineers has announced that the FDA has cleared Biograph Horizon Flow edition, a cost-competitive positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system that features the company’s revolutionary FlowMotion continuous bed motion scanning technology.

The FDA has cleared the ARTIS pheno, a robotic C-arm angiography system from Siemens Healthineers created for use in minimally invasive interventional procedures. The ARTIS pheno possesses not only a zen40HDR flat panel detector and GIGALIX X-ray tube for outstanding image quality, but also new 2k recording technology capable of delivering 2D imaging resolution that is four times higher in all recording processes than its predecessor system,...

As the global offshore wind power market continues its phenomenal growth, technologies are evolving to support lower project costs, and ultimately, lower cost of energy. The increasing size of wind turbines captures much of the attention surrounding that evolution, but the substructures that support the tower, nacelle and blades, are not to be overlooked, and are proving equally vital in reducing overall project costs.

Siemens WinCC OA has been selected to upgrade the SCADA system of the Heathrow rail link into the airport to increase reliability and availability. Passengers and staff using the rail link are set to benefit from Siemens technology, as part of a major upgrade project designed to optimise the efficiency of a transportation system first opened in 1998 to link the world’s busiest airport with Paddington station in central London.

The Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft and its UK manufacturer, BAE Systems, are benefitting from a ‘one stop shop’ control system solution from Siemens UK & Ireland, including a machine tool collision avoidance software programme.

Cases that are highly resilient are required for railway applications. A development contract from Siemens has been secured by the POLYRACK TECH-GROUP, for currently 2,500 constructed case systems with integrated train protection components – and mastered the tool making alone in well below the standard time.
