Siemens Healthcare is presenting at the 2010 European Congress of Radiology ( ECR 2010 ) its latest innovations for imaging and diagnosis designed to meet these requirements.

One of the most important challenges facing hospitals and practices is the optimization of their workflows. An ever increasing amount of data from various modalities must be evaluated in less and less time. Moreover, the quality of patient care should improve and the costs for healthcare should at the same time be cut. Under the motto "Images, my way" Siemens Healthcare is presenting at the 2010 European Congress of Radiology ( ECR 10 ) its latest innovations for imaging and diagnosis designed to meet these requirements.

There are several examples: Syngo.via, a new image management and diagnostic software, supports the physician's diagnostic work with indication-specific workflows and layouts. The client-server concept here provides the required cost effectiveness and openness by departing from the costly workstation philosophy previously used. Another innovation is Syngo.plaza, the first Picture Archiving and Communications System ( PACS ) from Siemens, which combines 2D, 3D and 4D diagnostic reporting at a single workstation, thus contributing to the enhanced assessment of images acquired with various modalities. Furthermore, Siemens is also introducing the new magnetic resonance tomography ( MRT ) systems Magnetom Aera (1.5 Tesla) and Magnetom Skyra (3 Tesla). They combine the innovative Tim (Total imaging matrix) 4G technology and Dot (Day optimizing throughput) engines to increase the productivity of the scanning process by up to 30 percent. Using Syngo.via, examinations can be evaluated more efficiently and information can be utilized for further treatment faster and more conveniently. The new software makes MR applications available in the workflow so that information can be retrieved from any location and shared with clinical partners. Protocol planning can also be performed for the scan via remote access. In this case, all of the information required is transferred to the MRT scanner automatically.
