This "super CT scanner" Somatom Force VB30 from Siemens Healthineers (Germany) - the world's leading country in cutting-edge medical technology, was first deployed in Vietnam at Tam Anh General Hospital in Hanoi in February 2025. To date, more than 4,500 cases have been screened and diagnosed early for dangerous diseases, from liver and lung cancer, risk of stroke, cerebral vascular malformations, coronary artery stenosis, heart valve disease, dangerous heart muscle...
After only 4 months, the second "super machine" has arrived at Tam Anh Medical Center in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, promptly serving the demand for high-quality medical examination and treatment that is expected to increase dramatically when the city expands into a "super city".
Currently, this "super CT machine" is still rare in the world , only available at a few leading medical centers in the US, Germany, the Netherlands... with the latest version, full functions and genuine, specialized software like this generation of machines at Tam Anh Hospital.
At the launch ceremony of the second "super machine" system, Mr. Fabian Martin Singer, CEO of Siemens Healthineers said that the Somatom Force VB30 machine has many outstanding advantages such as: Very high scanning speed, which is especially useful for patients with arrhythmia and tachycardia. Resolution, super thin slices, only 0.4 mm, useful for detecting small lesions in the body. This "super machine" also has the ability to reduce the maximum radiation dose, suitable for children, even newborns.

In particular, with the ability to scan extremely low doses thanks to the tin filter and the automatic dose reduction Turbo Flash mode of this system, it can be used with children, including infants.
Artificial intelligence (AI) application software helps automatically calibrate and select the clearest and most useful images to help doctors diagnose quickly, conveniently, and more accurately, limiting the need for additional clinical tests to support diagnosis as before.
