syngo.plaza is the agile PACS for clinical routine, offering 2D, 3D and 4D reading in one place. With more than 150 installations already in clinical production worldwide, the new version of syngo.plaza is scheduled for release in December. Highlights of syngo.plaza VA20C are increased loading performance and support of central application management4 to reduce complexity and costs. Through case-specific reading and a wide application range, syngo.plaza supports users in efficiently reading complex multimodality cases. It allows a smooth transition between different applications and helps speed up the reading workflow in small and large hospitals alike.
Finally at RSNA '11, Siemens will spotlight the Cardiovascular Workplace, which provides personalization of the healthcare provider workspace by bringing together the power of syngo Dynamics for multi-modality cardiovascular imaging and information, and syngo.via for advanced visualization and auto case preparation. The Cardiovascular Workplace provides a holistic patient-centric view of the cardiovascular record and enables exam review, reporting and distribution through a single point of control. Anytime, anywhere access to reporting, imaging and user management is provided through Web-accessible applications.²
Magnetic Resonance DotTM (Day optimizing throughput) - Siemens MRI workflow solution for consistent, more reproducible results and increased productivity - is currently available on the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T and MAGNETOM Skyra 3T. It enables up to 50 percent more productivity5 by offering exam personalization, user guidance and workflow automation. Three new Dot engines - the Breast Dot Engine,6 Spine Dot Engine6 and Large Joint Engine6 - for additional clinical indications complementing the existing seven Dot engines are in the pipeline for the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T and MAGNETOM Skyra 3T. Next in Siemens pipeline is Dot for the MAGNETOM Avanto6 1.5T and MAGNETOM Verio 3T.6
After proven innovation leadership on the receive side with Tim (Total imaging matrix) integrated coil technology, Siemens will expand on the transmit side: TimTX TrueShape6 is Siemens upcoming architecture for parallel transmit (pTX) imaging.6 Based on this technology, the first parallel transmit application syngo ZOOMit6 is introduced, enabling the technologist to zoom into an MRI image, accelerating the scan. This new technology and application will be fully integrated into the MAGNETOM Skyra 3T.
