Siemens Releases PACS System for Image and Video Analysis

Through no-click integration to syngo.via--a proprietary imaging software--users can then access the appropriate syngo.via applications directly through syngo.plaza. Combined with a unified user-interface, this allows for a smooth transition between different applications, helping to speed up the reading workflow. Users can also use syngo.plaza to master complex multimodality cases through access to syngo.via and syngo multimodality workplace applications. Patient jacket functionality makes it easy to view patient history at a glance, including prior exams, reports, and digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) presentation states.

Siemens syngo.plaza offers two viewing modes for users; the first is a preconfigured intuitive interface, and the second is a customizable option that allows users to define and use the layouts they prefer. The timesaving SmartSelect tool enables users to access their most frequently used functions directly in the diagnostic screen, without taking their eyes off the images. Additionally, syngo.plaza's innovative system architecture allows clinicians to access the software either within their facility or remotely. The Siemens syngo.plaza is a product of Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany).

"Customer-focused innovation runs in our veins here at Siemens, and syngo.plaza is a true example of that,” said Arthur Kaindl, CEO of image and knowledge management at Siemens Healthcare. "For the first time, we are now offering fast and accurate multimodality reading on one single workplace, with one intuitive user interface. And we are helping to protect our customers´ investment, as already existing hardware components can be leveraged.”

The Siemens syngo.plaza offers users the ability to leverage their existing hardware components, functionality, and storage configurations. In addition, users can easily adapt to changes in their own environment, enabling their PACS to grow in-line with their needs and budget. Scalable storage allows syngo.plaza to adjust its shape to users' requirements, offering multiple solutions ranging from dedicated to shared storage, from single to multiple archives, and from a single workplace to an enterprise PACS, all without compromising performance.
