Siemens Healthineers at RSNA 2018We enable you to deliver high-value care

Siemens Healthineers introduces AI-Rad Companion Chest CT as first application based on its new AI-Rad Companion platform
Erlangen, Nov 25, 2018

• AI-Rad Companion Chest CT is an AI-based software assistant for computed tomography.
• It identifies and measures organs and lesions on CT images of the thorax, and automatically generates a quantitative report.
• It can help increase productivity and quality in radiology.

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, USA, Siemens Healthineers will be presenting its first intelligent software assistant for radiology, which can identify organs and potentially disease-relevant changes. AI-Rad Companion Chest CT is a software assistant that brings artificial intelligence (AI) to computed tomography (CT). Teams of Siemens Healthineers scientists trained the underlying algorithms based on extensive clinical datasets. Using CT images of the thorax (chest), the software can differentiate between the various structures of the chest, highlight them individually, and mark and measure potential abnormalities. This applies equally to organs such as the heart and lungs, the aorta and the vertebral bodies. The software automatically turns the findings into a quantitative report.

AI-Pathway Companion from Siemens Healthineers supports decisions along the clinical pathway, with artificial intelligence
Erlangen Nov 25, 2018 

• Expanding precision medicine along the clinical pathway with AI-based decision support
• Intelligent integration of relevant data helps to accelerate diagnostic and treatment decisions
• Enables personalized and standardized patient management
• Provides transparency of clinical pathway performance with data analytics

At the Congress of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2018) in Chicago, USA, Siemens Healthineers is presenting AI-Pathway Companion for the first time. It is a clinical decision support system based on artificial intelligence that supports physicians in making diagnostic and therapeutic decisions along the clinical pathway. While numerous applications in the healthcare market make the workflows of individual clinical or administrative departments more efficient, the AI-Pathway Companion is designed to help optimize the processes along the clinical pathways and thus the overall success of patient management. The AI-Pathway Companion provides physicians in multi-disciplinary disease boards with the clinical status of each patient, based on data integration and artificial intelligence, and makes suggestions for next steps. The first clinical application will apply to prostate cancer.

Mammography reading software from Siemens Healthineers with AI-based decision support for faster results
Erlangen, Nov 25, 2018

• Interactive clinical decision support can accelerate workflows and help to transform care delivery.
• Lesion and case scores provide accurate information on probability of breast cancer to support precision medicine.
• SmartSort technology reduces workload with automated case prioritization.

Siemens Healthineers now offers new AI-based features with its mammography reading and reporting solution Syngo.Breast Care. It provides physicians with an innovative type of interactive decision support for faster, more accurate interpretation of mammography images. This enables radiologists to deliver results within a shorter period of time, transforms their reading workflows and ultimately improves care delivery.

Remote Scanning Assistance with Syngo Virtual Cockpit from Siemens Healthineers makes workforce management in radiology more flexible
Erlangen, Nov 25, 2018 

• Syngo Virtual Cockpit improves access to healthcare by enabling personnel to be deployed more flexibly, even for complex examinations.
• The ability to deploy experienced technologists across multiple locations reduces the number of undesired variations in reports, making more accurate diagnoses easier to achieve.

Siemens Healthineers will present the Syngo Virtual Cockpit for the first time at this year’s Congress of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago. Medical staff can use this software solution to connect remotely to scanner workplaces to assist personnel at a different location, especially where more sophisticated examinations are required. Syngo Virtual Cockpit can be used with CT and PET/CT scanners as well as with MRI and MRI PET systems from Siemens Healthineers. With the ability to deploy experienced technologists across multiple locations healthcare providers can transform care delivery and achieve a higher level of standardization that leads to more accurate diagnoses. 

New MRI portfolio from Siemens Healthineers expands the reach of BioMatrix Technology
Erlangen, Nov 25, 2018

• 70-cm open-bore systems, Magnetom Lumina (3 Tesla) and Magnetom Altea (1.5 Tesla), added to portfolio.
• New Magnetom Amira with BioMatrix expands clinical applications, delivering both consistent quality and financial certainty.
• All-new in-bore infotainment system Innovision revolutionizes patient experience.
• Turbo Suite for up to 50 percent faster routine clinical exams.

At the Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, USA, Siemens Healthineers will be presenting its latest MRI portfolio, based entirely on the innovative BioMatrix Technology. By extending the availability of BioMatrix Technology, Siemens Healthineers is transforming care delivery in radiology and improving productivity while ensuring consistent quality. At the same time, Siemens Healthineers is considerably enhancing patient satisfaction during examinations.

With Multix Impact Siemens Healthineers improves both access to high-quality X-ray imaging and patient experience
Erlangen, Nov 25, 2018

• Intuitive control and ergonomic design ease the workflow for technicians.
• Positioning camera and preconfigured organ programs allow even less experienced technicians to take accurate low-dose images.
• Innovative technologies help ensure improved patient experience.

At the congress of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, USA, Siemens Healthineers is introducing Multix Impact, an innovative floor-mounted radiography system. It offers excellent value for money and makes access to high-quality imaging technology much easier. The intuitive to use operating system and modern wireless detectors used by the Multix Impact optimize clinical processes in radiography by improving both productivity and patient experience.

With Mobilett Elara Max, Siemens Healthineers boosts patient safety in mobile X-ray imaging
Erlangen, Oct 22, 2018

• Antimicrobial surfaces and the easy-to-clean system design reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections.
• A comprehensive IT security concept helps to protect sensitive patient data.
• The smooth maneuverability and flexible positioning facilitate easy access to the patient and increase efficiency.

With the presentation of Mobilett Elara Max, Siemens Healthineers is setting new standards in mobile X-ray imaging. The easy-to-clean system surfaces with an antimicrobial coating reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections. A comprehensive IT security concept protects sensitive patient data and the secure integration of Mobilett Elara Max into the hospital’s IT environment provides access to all relevant data at any time. Thanks to the smooth maneuverability and flexible positioning of the X-ray arm, the system facilitates easy access to the patient and optimizes workflows in radiology, thus increasing efficiency. Through its consistently high image quality, it provides diagnostic confidence directly at the patient’s bedside.
