Siemens mammography software combines multiple imaging types on
single workstation
4 Oct 2010
The latest version of Syngo Mammo Report, the mammography
workstation from Siemens,
for the first time combines tomosynthesis,
3D ultrasound and 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 2D
mammography.
This enables breast care specialists to interpret images from
various examinations of one patient at a glance.
When mammography indicates a lump in the breast, radiologists often
have to use additional imaging methods to acquire a detailed
diagnosis. To assess the various images from ultrasound, MRI, and
mammography systems, there is usually a dedicated workstation for
each.
The latest version of the mammography workstation Syngo Mammo Report
from Siemens enables radiologists to display images from different
examinations simultaneously. In addition to saving time, the direct
comparison of results allows for a more comprehensive diagnosis.
Furthermore, Syngo Mammo Report supports 3D applications for
ultrasound, mammography, and MRI. Three-dimensional imaging
techniques are becoming increasingly important in the early
detection of breast cancer, particularly for patients with dense
breast tissue or with a family history of breast cancer.
Syngo Mammo Report also allows users to read images from other
vendors' imaging systems. Moreover, the workstation can be
integrated into the radiology information systems of different
departments, such as the breast centre or the radiology department.
