All Images in a Single View

September 8, 2009

With its new diagnostic reporting software for breast imaging in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Siemens Healthcare provides radiologists with new opportunities in Women’s Health. The syngo BreVis diagnostic reporting software shows all of a patient’s examination results in a single view – for example ultrasound or radiography images next to the images from magnetic resonance imaging – impossible with previous technology. Additionally, the physician can use the new syngo BreVis Biopsy interventional software to plan and perform a biopsy when needed. It is almost fully automated and much faster than before. As such, this fast and efficient application represents a major advance for patients and users. More

Siemens presents new MR applications for Oncology - Innovations for Women’s Health with the Magnetom Espree - Pink, the new dedicated MR breast scanner

March 6, 2009

Siemens Healthcare exhibits its latest solutions in the field of Magnetic Resonance (MR) for Oncology at the European Radiology Congress ECR 2009 in Vienna. The Syngo TimCT Oncology application enables not only comprehensive patient examinations within an extreme short examination time, it can also eliminate the need for multiple examinations with other modalities. The Syngo Tissue 4D software supports tissue differentiation of prostate cancer. In addition, Siemens presents innovative technologies in the area of Women's Health: dedicated breast coils for 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3 Tesla systems as well as the new breast scanner Magnetom Espree - Pink. The 1.5T system combines a 70cm Open-Bore design with a dedicated breast care solution. Specifically designed for obese and claustrophobic patients, the large bore makes examinations more comfortable than with previous systems, or, in some cases, it makes them possible for the first time ever. Supplementary software packages such as Syngo Grace allow for the biochemical detection of lesions that go beyond imaging. More
