Images, my way.

Redefining PET and CT

reading with revolutionary

ease-of-use – anywhere.1,4

Your diagnostic report will help determine the care that a waiting patient will

receive. The rich diagnostic information from your PET and CT imaging system has

been acquired, but there’s still a lot of work to be completed before you can deliver

the critical diagnosis that the patient’s physician needs.

Siemens understands that high quality image acquisition is important, but that

you need more. You need faster and easier ways to process, read and share those

PET and CT images. Enter the world of syngo.via, the new imaging software that

redefines PET and CT reading with revolutionary ease-of-use – anywhere.1,2,4

Experience reading efficiency – Convenient access to tools on the image.

Experience workflow integration – Live access to your PET and CT cases from any location.

Experience investment protection – Remote updates occur automatically and the system is expandable to meet your changing needs.

My cases – ready.

syngo.via automatically

prepares the images and

enables timely navigation

through a case, in line with

disease-specific requirements.

My places – networked.

syngo.via makes it possible to

quickly access information from

any location, from any modality,

and to share it with colleagues

and clinical partners.1,2,4

My needs – anticipated.

syngo.via keeps all of the

functionality state-of-the-art

and offers a predictable cost-of-

ownership throughout the life

cycle.

Experience unparralled image

access, ease-of-use and workflow

efficiency with the syngo.via1

imaging software based on a client-

server platform. It is designed

for your PET and CT imaging and

diagnostic needs of today, and it

has the ability to evolve to meet

your software and system needs of

tomorrow.

syngo.via

My PET and CT cases – ready.

Increasing patient and data volumes are demanding more of you and your

equipment. You can’t afford lost time searching for the right patient, prior studies

and the right tools. syngo.via lets you focus on the image, making your reading more

efficient. With syngo.via, you can experience reading efficiency.

Instant case accessvia QuickWorklist and automated case preparation

Structured reading via Case and Findings Navigators

PET and CT tools on the image via dynamic and smart menus

4

Instant case access. Your cases are ready for interpretation

and are available directly from your

QuickWorklist, including all relevant

prior studies. And your worklist can be

set to batch mode, which ensures that

the next case is ready and waiting for

you, after you complete each case.

Structured reading. The Case Navigator provides a guided

workflow, specific to the type of

modality and to the case at hand.

The necessary tools are organized

in logical order. And while you read

the case, all of your findings are

automatically tracked and stored

in the Findings Navigator for easy

reference and reporting.

PET and CT tools on the image. Oncology cases automatically load into the

oncology reading environment, including

the right layouts and tools. All user interface

elements can be hidden so you can focus on

the case. And when you need to change to a

different PET or CT tool, it’s where you need

it. Its on the image, in the corner menus and

your configurable Context Menu.

syngo.via

My PET and CT places – networked.

Your PET and CT imaging systems deliver rich clinical information with remarkable detail.

Making full use of this information by extracting and communicating all of the findings

efficiently is a matter of image access and networking. syngo.via provides a single

database and working environment for you and your clinical partners, so nothing

is lost in transition. Advanced PET and CT visualization for case preparation, reading

and results communication is now available where and when it’s needed – including

PACS. With syngo.via, you can experience workflow integration.

Reduced reading time via efficient case preparation

Advanced PET and CT reading on every PACS5 via IT integration

Live access anytime, anywhere via client-server architecture

6

Reduced reading time.With a single database, your technologist

can now prepare your cases before plac-

ing them in the reading worklist. Routine

tasks will be completed, so more time is

available for reading. All cases are avail-

able instantly, without sending studies

across the network.

Advanced PET and CT reading on every PACS.5

With syngo.via, you can freely navigate

the entire dataset, use advanced PET and

CT segmentation and quantification tools,

and document your findings – right on

your RIS/PACS reporting workplace. Cases

can now be interpreted and reported

with access to full clinical information,

without depending on parallel ranges or

switching between reporting and reading

workplaces.

Live access anytime, anywhere.On your PACS, at the tumor board meeting, in

the OR, or even from home, live access to all

cases and tools is just a login away on any PC.1,2,4

Referring physicians can access WebReports* to

review findings and related images. This creates

new possibilities, like easy second opinion and

on-call scenarios, using the Findings Navigator to

elegantly present cases, or using 3D visualization

for surgery planning and patient communication.

syngo.via frees medical images from the local

workstation to bring the power of hybrid imaging

to clinical routine.

“In an oncology department,

syngo.via helps to make case

presentations easier. With the

link between text and image,

it is quite easy, for example, to

present ten cases prepared by

different investigators, because

their findings can easily be

tracked by everyone.”

syngo.via service provides

you with peace of mind.

You can be confident that

you are on the leading edge

of technology, and that

your systems and workflow

are running smoothly.

Continued innovations keep you on the leading edgeWith our dedicated syngo.via service agreement, your core functionality and clinical

applications are always state of-the-art. We continuously provide you with managed

remote updates for software enhancements. These will be delivered automatically,

via our secure remote infrastructure, without unplanned workflow interruptions. This

means that you are able to expand your clinical spectrum with the latest applications,

when needed.

Integrated services for comprehensive supportWith our service agreement, you receive support for your workflow, not just for a single

step. Our remote maintenance and repair services ensure quick response and repair

times for better staff planning and patient scheduling. Our service team is available

for you up to 24/7. During the Principal Coverage Period, native language support is

available for most major languages. Furthermore, you will have a primary contact

person who has in-depth knowledge of your facility. In addition, our application support

and modular training offering mirror your needs, schedule, and work-flow.

15

Confident financial and department planning with predictable life-cycle costsOur comprehensive service agreement

and the flexible licensing model are key to

planning security. Software maintenance

and support services are an integral part

of the syngo.via service agreement,

which makes service costs predictable.

In addition, you can adapt your service

agreement to meet your unique needs by

adding optional services. Our concurrent

user model for syngo.via is highly flexible.

Simply choose the number of licenses

that meet your needs, not the number

of connected hardware. Should your

requirements change, you can always

expand the number of licenses or add new

clinical applications.

Foreseeable Total Cost of OwnershipAnother big plus on the business

perspective: foreseeable Total Cost

of Ownership. Because software

maintenance and support services are

an integral part of your syngo.via service

agreement, service costs are predictable

and clearly calculable. In combination with

the fl exible licensing model, this makes

precise budget planning easier for you.
