No. of effectivechannels per row 1472 1344 TheSOMATOM Definition AS+offers much higher
receiver channels for moreraw data/ morecrisp IQ.
Number of Projections Upto4608 / 360 degreerotation Upto2320 / 360 degreerotation SOMATOM Definition AS+provides morenumber of
projections for moreraw datafor unmatched image
resolution. Philips iCT SP offers theminimum
projections / roration dueto very old GOS detector
material.

Real TimeDoseModulation During Scanning Yes- "CARE Dose 4D" principle
for saving of upto 66% radiation
dose- tubecurrent is modulated
real time& on thefly during scanning based
on attenuation of X-Ray beam
through thepatient anatomy
(Siemens Unique)
ACS Automatic Current Selection +Z DOM +D DOM -
Not real time& on thefly doseregulation. Based on
initial Topo data- potential problemarea- not proper
dosecontrol in caseof changein patient position.
TheSOMATOM Definition AS+ scans with much less
patient dose& is considered as oneof themost dose
efficient CT Scanner in theindustry.

Reconstruct ableSliceThickness Down upto 0.400 mm Minimumis 0.625 mm SOMATOM Definition AS+can go upto much thinner
slices for higher spatial resolution. This is possibledueto
UFC Detector material.
Max Spatial Resolution at 0% MTF 17.4 lp/cm at 2% MTF and high resolution up to 30
LP/cm
Only 13 LP/cmin standard mode& upto only 24 LP/cm
in Hi-Res mode.
Philips uses GOS detectors and they are30% less
efficient than UFC detectors
Even with therecently introduced detector material (
Gemstone) - which is having better after Glow &
absorption characteristic compareto their very old Hi
Light Detector Material - it is yet to catch-up the
Siemens UFC technology on all thetechnical aspects
likeShorter After Glow / Higher X Ray Absorption Rate
( for low doseimaging ) / Higher Spatial Resolution. (
Gemstonedetectors areused by GE is their discovery
