Features & Benefits

What top innovation will you get?

Speed up your process efficiency in multiple trauma cases with automated rib and spine labelling.

CT Acute Care Engine – syngo.CT Bone Reading
  • Comprehensive diagnosis when time is tight
    Multiple trauma cases with suspected injuries to the thorax and spine call for a complete evaluation of the ribs and vertebral bodies to assess possible fractures. syngo.CT Bone Reading1 revolutionizes this process: The application identifies and labels the ribs and displays the entire rib cage rolled on a 2D planar reformat. In addition, the vertebral bodies are tagged and the spine is presented in a stretched view for a straightforward overview of the anatomy.
  • The Automatic Pre-Processing function performs these steps for you and has the case ready for review when opened. Lesions and fractures can now be spotted and assessed immediately.

What else is new for you?

Enhance your clinical capabilities with the CT Acute Care Engine’s intelligent features – for fast and comprehensive treatment decisions in trauma situations.

CT Acute Care Engine – syngo.CT Rapid Stent Planning
  • Automatically complete manufacturer-specific graft order forms
    Pre-procedural planning for the treatment of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms requires a precise assessment of several anatomical parameters. Numerous vendors offer a variety of stent grafts, each of which requires its own set of measurements.
    syngo.CT Rapid Stent Planning1 introduces the automatic completion of manufacturer-specific stent order forms. This optional extension makes the most effective use of the unique Rapid Results Technology: Protocols guide the user through all length and diameter measurements, which are then automatically stored in the corresponding order form. At delivery, syngo.CT Rapid Stent Planning provides three order forms: Gore Excluder, Zenith Flex, and Medtronic Endurant in PDF format. In addition, new order form templates can be generated to match the requirements of other vendors.2

 

CT Acute Care Engine – Rapid Results Technology
  • Standardize and automate image creation
    When assessing coronary artery disease, the manual preparation of reformats and visualizations of the coronary vessels is time-consuming and rarely standardized. With Rapid Results Technology (RRT), you can automatically generate visualizations of the coronary and general vessels in a variety of types and orientations. Design your own protocols that best suit your daily work. Save time for reading other cases by allowing RRT to create just the right amount of information – standardized and reproducible. With the new edition, RRT lets you send the results of your executed protocols directly to your PACS with no extra effort.

 

CT Acute Care Engine – syngo.CT Neuro Perfusion
  • Assess dynamic CT data for the management of acute stroke patients
    In acute stroke, it can be challenging to differentiate the core infarct from tissue at risk for infarction (penumbra). This is crucial, however, because the latter is potentially salvageable with additional therapy. With a range of unique features, syngo.CT Neuro Perfusion helps you easily assess the potential treatment benefits. It visualizes tissue at risk in 3D color maps based on the mismatch between blood volume and flow. You can also select individual mismatch parameters like Siemens’ Time-To-Drain. Refined algorithms offer automated gray-matter segmentation so you can immediately focus on the relevant tissues.
