The FDA has given 510(k) clearance to Siemens’ third-generation iterative reconstruction CT software, called ADMIRE.
ADMIRE (Advanced Modeled Iterative Reconstruction), supplements Siemen’s previous raw-data based iterative reconstruction algorithm, SAFIRE (Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction), which can allow for dose reduction up to 60 percent, according to a Siemens press release.
ADMIRE is available on Siemens’ SOMATOM Force dual-source CT system.
