What Physicians Need to Know

Cardiac CT/MRI Analysis
syngo.via MI Workflows offers comprehensive cardiac CT and MRI analysis. For CT, it includes 'syngo.CT Coronary Analysis' for evaluating coronary arteries, ruling out Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), quantifying stenoses, and automatic segmentation of the coronary tree. 'syngo.CT Cardiac Function' provides automatic evaluation of left and right ventricular function, calculating global parameters like ejection fraction, myocardial mass, stroke volume, and end-systolic/diastolic volumes. It also displays local parameters such as wall motion and wall thickness in AHA conform 17-segment 2D polar maps. For MRI, the 'syngo.MR Cardio Engine' provides a semi-automatic workflow for cardiac post-processing, including computer-aided detection and automatic contouring of the left ventricle throughout the cardiac cycle. It also supports MR Cardio-Vascular Reading workflows with a Cardiac Reader and MR Angiography.
Coronary Artery Assessment
The 'syngo.CT Coronary Analysis' module facilitates thorough evaluation of coronary arteries, offering automatic segmentation and labeling of the coronary tree, single-click stenosis measurement (diameter, length, area), and enhanced lesion and stent visualization. The 'MI Hybrid Coronary View' enables interactive fused VRT display of PET or SPECT quantification results with CT coronary angiography. The software supports reproducible blood flow quantification in ml/min, aiding in the detection of triple vessel disease.
Heart Failure Risk Prediction
While not explicitly termed 'risk prediction,' 'syngo.CT Cardiac Function' facilitates the assessment of congestive heart failure by providing automatic evaluation of left and right ventricular function and displaying local parameters like wall motion and wall thickness in AHA conform 17-segment 2D polar maps. It also highlights ischemia and categorizes perfusion defects as viable or non-viable.
AHA/ACC Guideline Alignment
The 'syngo.CT Cardiac Function' application displays local parameters (wall motion and wall thickness) in AHA conform 17-segment 2D polar maps, indicating alignment with established cardiac segmentation standards. Siemens Healthineers also aims to offer guideline support for various clinical use cases by collaborating with market leaders in reporting and EHR.
AI-enabled Features
syngo.via MI Workflows incorporates AI-enabled features to enhance efficiency and diagnostic clarity. The proprietary ALPHA Technology (Automatic Landmarking and Parsing of Human Anatomy) uses AI to automatically recognize anatomical landmarks, correlate studies, and align them for precise registration and easier evaluation, thereby accelerating reading workflows. The software also utilizes unique Molecular Imaging (MI) algorithms to normalize quantification results and reduce variability across devices, patients, and time. AI-powered applications support automated clinical analysis of PET and SPECT images.
Physician Tip

Leverage the automated pre-processing and AI-powered alignment (ALPHA Technology) to significantly reduce manual steps and accelerate case preparation. Utilize the multi-modality fusion capabilities, especially the MI Hybrid Coronary View, for a comprehensive understanding of cardiac conditions by integrating PET/SPECT and CT data. For cardiac CT and MRI, take advantage of the semi-automatic ventricular contouring and quantitative analysis tools for consistent and efficient functional assessment. While the system automates many tasks, a quick review of automatically generated contours and findings is recommended to ensure accuracy and adapt to the 'hands-off' workflow. The structured reporting and findings navigator can aid in efficient follow-up and comparison of patient studies over time.

syngo.via MI Workflows is built on a scalable client-server architecture and is designed for seamless integration within existing IT environments. It supports standard integrations including DICOM, HL7, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems), and RIS (Radiology Information Systems). This allows for automated pre-fetching of prior examinations, distribution of reports, and sharing of findings across care teams and devices, including mobile viewing.
