Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Often, the problem is not just the disease itself, but the fact that many people only become aware of a heart condition when symptoms have become severe or when a heart attack has already occurred.
In reality, before a heart attack happens, the body often provides warning signs through narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Today, thanks to advancements in cardiac imaging technology, heart disease can be detected much earlier.
One of the latest innovations in cardiovascular diagnostics is the **SOMATOM Force 1152-Slice CT Scan**, a next-generation imaging system that enables heart screening to be performed faster, more comfortably, and with greater accuracy. This advanced technology is available at **National Hospital Surabaya**.
Not everyone with heart disease experiences symptoms. In fact, a person may appear healthy, exercise regularly, and have no complaints at all, yet still have plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
Heart screening helps doctors to:
Early detection provides a much greater opportunity to prevent serious complications and improve long-term heart health.
The SOMATOM Force is a state-of-the-art CT scanner designed to produce exceptionally high-resolution images in an extremely short amount of time.
This technology combines Dual Source Dual Energy imaging, advanced 3D imaging capabilities, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) support to deliver more precise and efficient diagnostic results.
In cardiac imaging, speed is essential because the heart is constantly moving. The SOMATOM Force offers a temporal resolution of up to **66 milliseconds** and a rotation speed of **0.25 seconds**, allowing it to effectively “freeze” cardiac motion and generate remarkably clear images.
One of the key advantages of the SOMATOM Force is its Turbo Flash Mode technology.
With this feature, the chest can be scanned in less than one second. The system is capable of covering up to 50 cm in approximately 0.6 seconds, making examinations significantly faster than conventional CT scanners.
This speed provides several important benefits:
With conventional cardiac CT scans, patients often require medication to slow their heart rate before the examination.
Thanks to its Dual Source technology, the SOMATOM Force can produce high-quality cardiac images even when the heart rate remains relatively fast. Its exceptionally high temporal resolution enables reliable imaging in challenging situations, helping physicians obtain more accurate information about coronary artery health.
In addition to being fast and accurate, the SOMATOM Force is designed to enhance patient safety and comfort.
Its advanced Dual Energy technology and sophisticated image-processing system allow examinations to be performed with lower radiation exposure while maintaining excellent image quality. Furthermore, the amount of contrast agent required can often be reduced for many types of scans.
For patients who require regular cardiac evaluations, these benefits are particularly important.
Heart screening is highly recommended for individuals who:
Even in the absence of symptoms, early screening can identify hidden cardiovascular risks before they become serious health problems.
Heart attacks often occur without obvious warning signs. For this reason, waiting for symptoms to appear is not the best approach.
With SOMATOM Force 1152-Slice technology, heart screening can now be performed faster, more comfortably, and with a high level of diagnostic accuracy. This advanced imaging technology enables physicians to visualize the coronary arteries in great detail, helping identify cardiovascular risks before they develop into emergencies.
