syngo® Ultrasound Workplace provides more flexibility for cardiologists
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA., September 2, 2006
New technology supports offline image processing and reporting
Image acquisition, post-processing and reporting – up to now cardiologists had to perform these tasks directly at their ultrasound system. Increasingly flexible and more efficient workflow processes in clinical environments and medical practices make it a necessity to be able to evaluate image data independently of the system – for instance, at the computer in the doctor’s office. The new Siemens syngo Ultrasound Workplace now offers an offline solution for physicians that allows for ultrasound image processing as well as new measurements and comprehensive analyses of cardiac functions on any computer.
