Syngo DynaCT Cardiac from Siemens: 3D images for cardiovascular imaging

28 August 2009

At the ESC (European Society of Cardiology) Congress 2009, Siemens will be demonstrating a new cardiac application for the syngo DynaCT Cardiac imaging application. During transfemoral aortic valve replacement, a heart valve prosthesis gets implanted via peripheral artery access. To position aortic valve prostheses accurately, the cardiologist must have very precise knowledge of the individual anatomy of the patient’s aorta. That's where syngo DynaCT Cardiac comes in: During the intervention, it generates CT-like cross-sectional images on an angiographic C-arm system and offers 3D reconstruction of the aortic root. These 3D images can be overlaid on actual fluoroscopic images and provide a kind of three-dimensional roadmap for the examiner. Thus, with syngo DynaCT Cardiac, the cardiologist can position the valve prosthesis more accurate and more quickly than before. More

Siemens exhibits innovative solutions for cardiovascular medicine at ESC 2009

Siemens sets a new standard in subtraction angiography

13 May 2009

The new application syngo iFlow from Siemens Healthcare makes it possible for the first time to demonstrate a complete digital subtraction angiography (DSA) sequence in a single color image. Previously, multiple black and white image frames had to be reviewed to visualize the contrast medium flow through the blood vessels. Now with the colors of syngo iFlow the representation of contrast from its initial entry into the blood vessels to its flow throughout can be shown in one image. More

Siemens at the European Congress of Radiology 2009: News and Highlights

04 March 2009

The changing age demographic and growth in population have lead to a greater need for more efficient health care, offering people the best possible care at an affordable price. Innovations in the technologies used and the optimization of clinical workflows play a major role in this. Themed "Ask the ultimate Power in Imaging", Siemens Healthcare will present its latest imaging innovations at the European Congress of Radiology 2009 (ECR 2009), including the new computer tomograph Somatom Definition Flash, the world's first molecular CT - the biograph mCT - and the next generation of breast magnetic resonance tomography - the Magnetom Espree-Pink. The demonstration will also feature the first automatic breast scanner Acuson S2000, the new digital radiography system Ysio and Mammomat Inspiration with 3D tomosynthesis for mammography. More

Integrated IT solution for cardiology from Siemens: Hospital in Peine interfaces cardiac cath lab with image archiving and reporting system

10 February 2009

The Peine Clinic in Lower Saxony is the first hospital in Germany to interface its angiography systems with an image management and reporting system. All data generated prior to or during an intervention in the cardiac cath lab is now automatically transferred to the new IT system. The advantage: while the examination is still in progress, operating personnel can use important examination data to prepare a report for wards or referring physicians in just a matter of minutes. Previously, this took several hours, because the data was transferred from forms to the reporting system manually and the images were also stored manually. For this innovative IT solution in the catheter laboratory in Peine, Siemens interfaced its dynamic image archiving system syngo Dynamics with the angiographic system Axiom Artis FC and the hemodynamic measuring station Axiom Sensis XP.

Minimally invasive procedures enhanced at Southmead Hospital

19 January 2009

Southmead Hospital, part of the North Bristol NHS Trust, has installed a ceiling mounted Artis zee™ interventional imaging system for vascular and non vascular interventions. The images provided by the unit have helped to improve workflow, reduce the amount of contrast used and broaden the range of procedures the hospital now undertakes. The equipment is being used for procedures including angiography, angioplasty, nephrostomy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Endovascular Aneurysm Repairs (EVAR) and biliary interventions. More
