Of the three new scanners, the jewel in the crown (or perhaps we should say the Shamash candle in the menorah) is the SOMATOM Definition Flash, manufactured by Siemens. Equipped with two roentgen tubes (instead of the standard single tube), it is the world’s fastest, most accurate, lowest-dosage CT machine and can produce 1,500 slices within 4 seconds (and is 400 times faster than the machine at Rambam that it has replaced). Most importantly for patients’ health, it uses a tenth of the radiation used by older CT devices. Rambam uses the machine for both routine and sophisticated examination of cardiac and trauma patients and for such interventional procedures as biopsies.
Two novel and strong “workhorse” CT scanners, one produced by Siemens and the other by Philips, were also delivered to Rambam that night. They were already at work the next day performing various routine diagnostic tests and quick scans of trauma cases.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "The threat of cyberattacks against Israel comes from Iran and other elements. Our vital systems are targets for attack and this will only increase as we enter the digital age. We are bolstering our ability to deal with these threats via the Israel National Cyber Bureau (INCB) that we established, and we are building a digital Iron Dome for Israel. To the outstanding pupils that are studying in the special program, I say: 'You are the future interceptors for the State of Israel.' We are one of the world's leaders in the field of cybernetics and we must maintain this position; therefore, we will continue to cultivate the generation of the future."
INCB head Dr. Eviatar Matania said: "We realize that many elements in the world are interested in Israeli minds in the field of cybernetics, as well as in how they are developed. We must improve methods of operation and it is our intention to do so. This program is an example of the actions that we are advancing in the field of cybernetics in order to develop the high-quality human capital in the State of Israel."
Following the ceremony, Prime Minister Netanyahu personally met with the pupils in the program who showed him some of their work.
