Keeping operational!Remote scanning assistance with syngo Virtual Cockpit

We support in this period of global uncertainty

Remote configuration of diagnostic imaging equipment helps reduce staff exposure to infectious patients.

Siemens Healthineers wants to support you as partners and customers, employees' friends and families in order to "flatten the curve" and support Healthcare systems in this period of time. With social distancing being seen as one of the most influential measures to do this, Healthineers’ teams have worked together in order to find a way in which we can support in this endeavor by staying operational and keeping up your patient throughput.

For this we provide increased global access to our remote scanning assistance technology, in hopes to bring you some relief.

How remote scanning assistance can help for CT, MRI & PET

syngo Virtual Cockpit is a software for remote scanning assistance. It enables you to provide comprehensive scanning assistance to imaging personnel – regardless of their physical location5. Even from home with a simple Laptop. In cases requiring advanced skills and recourses, technologists can always call on an expert for live support.
