Siemens Medical Solutions reported this week that it has installed its first Somatom Sensation 40-slice CT scanner at the radiology department of Alamance Regional Medical Center located in Burlington, NC.

The new system replaces the 238-bed private, not-for-profit hospital's Somatom Sensation 10 CT unit, according to the Malvern, PA-based Siemens. Experts from the facility will participate in a final round of assessment and feedback for Siemens before the launch of the new 40-slice system.

Worldwide shipment of the Somatom Sensation 40 will start in July this year, Siemens said.
