title: Siemens Somatom Definition Flash. The latest in dual-source CT.
abstract: The Siemens Somatom Definition Flash is the latest dual-source CT scanner to hit the market. It provides very fast scanning, minimizing the effects of patient movement. This makes it especially valuable in trauma, pediatric, and cardiac scans. It also provides very good dose reduction. We assess the flash's benefits and limitations, as well as how it compares to other high-end scanners.
