syngo.CT Lung CAD
Overview
syngo.CT Lung CAD (Computer Aided Detection) is a fully automated computer-assisted tool designed to assist radiologists in the detection of solid and subsolid pulmonary nodules during the review of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) examinations of the chest. It functions as an adjunctive tool, highlighting regions of interest (ROI) that may otherwise be overlooked by the radiologist. The software processes thoracic CT examinations, capable of detecting solid pulmonary nodules ranging from 3.0 mm to 30.0 mm and subsolid nodules from 5.0 mm to 30.0 mm in average diameter. It is compatible with multi-detector CT scanners with 16 or more detector rows. syngo.CT Lung CAD integrates seamlessly with hosting applications like syngo.via’s Findings Navigator or Syngo MM Oncology, where CAD marks are displayed on the input CT images to facilitate review. It can be utilized as a concurrent first reader, followed by a full review by the radiologist, or as a second reader after the radiologist’s initial assessment. Additionally, it offers a “solid-only” mode to filter out suspected sub-solid or fully calcified CAD findings for focused analysis.

What Physicians Need to Know
Utilize syngo.CT Lung CAD as an adjunctive tool, either as a concurrent first reader or a second reader, to enhance the detection of both solid and subsolid pulmonary nodules, especially in high-volume settings or for subtle findings. Leverage its 'solid-only' mode for focused analysis when appropriate. Remember that while the AI highlights regions of interest, the final diagnostic interpretation remains with the radiologist. Integrate its findings within the broader clinical context and patient history for comprehensive care.
syngo.CT Lung CAD is designed for tight integration within the Siemens Healthineers ecosystem, primarily with syngo.via and syngo MM Oncology for visualization and workflow management. Its ability to deliver results directly to PACS via Rapid Results Technology is crucial for seamless incorporation into existing radiology workflows. Ensure your CT scanners meet the specified multi-detector row requirements for optimal performance and compatibility.
