The variety of typical cancers requires a comprehensive portfolio of clinical applications such as a general tool for the most frequent tasks in CT oncology: the assessment of lung, liver, and lymph nodes. syngo CT Oncology provides an automated workflow. It includes fully automated lesion matching for fast, accurate follow-up. syngo CT Oncology also features functional imaging, enabling the fusion of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) images with CT data. The most important role for CT in oncology is the follow-up of tumors to evaluate if the tumor is growing or shrinking and whether the therapy is effective or not. In addition to the RECIST¹ and WHO² standards, syngo CT Oncology automatically measures the tumor volume. This leads to the highest accuracy and reproducibility of measurements.

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, but early detection and removal of polyps can prevent it very effectively. CT-Colonography (CTC) is an alternative to conventional endoscopic colonography as it is noninvasive and provides higher patient comfort. It has been proven in major clinical studies³ to be an adequate alternative to endoscopic colonography. syngo Colonography PEV (Polyp Enhanced Viewing) offers the full spectrum of tools to run CTC reading efficiently in clinical routine.

Besides changes of the tumor’s anatomy, the tumor’s vitality plays a key role. Information on tumor perfusion and function is particularly important for monitoring certain new therapy approaches. syngo Volume Perfusion CT Body enables whole organ and tumor perfusion by evaluating perfusion parameters like blood flow, blood volume, and permeability.

Siemens oncology CT applications are available on any suitable reading workplace throughout a facility’s network via syngo WebSpace and syngo Expert-i.
