Peter Herzog, MD, from the Clinical Radiology Department at the University Hospital of Munich wanted a solution to detect potential nodules and transfer the information across a network from multiple sites within the university. Dr. Herzog chose syngo^® Lung CAD and syngo chest x-ray (CXR) CAD*. “syngo Lung CAD and syngo CXR CAD are extremely beneficial in my daily routine, particularly since I can view the results on the PACS workstation,” says Herzog. “The software is also able to differentiate between a nodule and a rib crossing, which is crucial during evaluation.”

Herzog also noticed increased usage with his colleagues. “My colleagues also think syngo Lung CAD is advantageous as a second reader tool, and helps them to identify nodules that could easily be overlooked.” An additional benefit of using syngo Lung CAD and syngo CXR CAD is the workflow enhancement of viewing the CAD results directly on the PACS workstation. The results are sent from different locations across the University Hospital of Munich to a central server. “We are able to view lung CT and chest x-ray CAD results from six locations on our PACS workstations,” says Dr. Herzog. “CAD results are available enterprise-wide, enabling faster interpretation with our high volume workflow.”
