syngo® MBF for PET•CT - Features & Benefits
syngo® MBF for PET•CT is an easy-to-use, intuitive and user-friendly software that provides a quantitative measure for myocardial blood flow (MBF).
It is the first software from a major vendor to quantify myocardial blood flow during PET perfusion studies.
- A comprehensive results display promotes a complete view of all heart information and activity on one screen.
- With a simple click of the mouse, users can delve further into a cardiac view at any time.
- Studies are conveniently summarized for interpretation, requiring minimal manual interaction.
- Functionality within syngo MBF for the cardiac diagnostic workflow includes:
- Perfusion and flow polar plots: Side-by-side display of conventional perfusion and myocardial blood flow for comprehensive case review.
- Coronary Flow Reserve: Dedicated polar plot for CFR.
- Coronary territories can be superimposed and values for individual ROIs can be displayed.
- TAC curves: The measurements for the arterial input function and myocardial uptake are displayed as time activity curves and are available globally as well as for individual ROIs.
- Quantification Table: Blood flow values for the coronary territories for stress and rest are calculated, together with standard deviations and coronary flow reserve values.
- Perfusion images: Display of SA, HLA, VLA for stress and rest.
- Frame-by-frame view: The SA, HLA, and VLA images of the dynamic acquisition can be easily viewed frame-by-frame to control bolus capture and uptake. The frame number and acquisition time is provided.
- Quality control step: Available to verify automatic reorientation and boundary.
syngo MBF when coupled with the Siemens Biograph™ family of PET•CT scanners promotes leading-edge PET and CT cardiac imaging in one integrated system:
- Advanced 3D PET performance enables quantitative dynamic perfusion imaging at a wide range of injected doses. This enables the myocardial blood flow measurement to be acquired in parallel with conventional PET perfusion, using single injection protocols for virtually all patient sizes.
- Siemens Biograph series PET•CT scanners are high-performance, integrated PET and CT cardiac imaging systems, offering the first complete solution for myocardial blood flow with a low patient dose and fast workflow for virtually all patients.
- Siemens Biograph PET•CT scanners produce high-count PET perfusion images with high resolution enabling cardiac physicians to see a better picture of their patient’s overall cardiovascular health.
Disclaimer(s)
- Siemens is the only vendor to offer an integrated myocardial blood flow solution (i.e. PET/CT scanner plus commercially available software). Of the major PET/CT vendors to date (GE, Philips, Siemens), only Siemens is the first vendor to release a commercially available myocardial blood flow solution.
- All comparative claims based on competitive literature at the time of publication.
- syngo MBF is pending validation for 82Rb.
