If you polled 100 Siemens CT users on which of these scanners is better, I suspect the results would be 50/50. Which CT you choose will depend on your site’s specialties, available space, and patient volume.

Siemen Sensation scanners have a larger overall footprint than Siemen Emotion scanners. They also require some outside space for the placement of the chiller unit. Being smaller, the Emotion series is often a better pick for facilities with space constraints.

Those in the market for a refurbished Siemens CT scanner know there are multiple systems and to choose from. Between slice counts, cooling systems, and X-ray tube types, making a decision can seem daunting.

The Dura 202 or 302 for single-slice units. The Dura 352 is for dual-slice, and the Dura 422 is for 6 and 16-slice scanners. The Dura 422 costs more to replace than an Akron Q, but still considerably less than a Straton.

Below we'll give a side-by-side comparison of the Siemens Sensation CT and Siemens Emotion CT from slice count to patient volume needs.

This difference gives the Sensation advantages in terms of system cleanliness and overall room noise. The Emotion has an advantage in terms of maintenance costs, as there are no chiller-related services needed.

All Siemens Sensation CTs are water-cooled and generally require an outdoor chiller. All Siemens Emotion CTs are air-cooled.

Sensation series scanners have an advantage in working in high-volume facilities. This is because their X-ray tubes have a higher heat capacity.

The Sensation series comes with either a Straton tube (8.0 MHU) or an Akron Q (5.3 MHU). The Straton (on some 16s, and all 40s and 64s) is very expensive to replace.

Both of these series began manufacture in 2000; the Sensation at the 4-slice level and the Emotion at the single-slice. The Emotion 16-slice version arrived a couple of years after the Sensation 16.
