Introduction
syngo Imaging is a PACS for viewing,
processing, reading, reporting,
communicating, distributing, storing and
archiving digital radiological images,
including digital mammography images.
Workplaces
syngo Imaging provides different workplaces,
tailored to your individual requirements.
❏ syngo Studio workplaces are ideal for the
radiology department. They provide all
functions required to process, report on,
and transfer radiological images.
❏ web-based syngo Studio is a workplace for
viewing radiological images and reports
inside wards and at general practitioners'
practices.
❏ syngo Studio Advanced workplaces allow
you to integrate the following additional
applications: for example, Filming, syngo
WebSpace, syngo 3-D, syngo Image Fusion
or syngo FlyThrough.
Integration with syngo Workflow (RIS)
For detailed description about
syngo Imaging and syngo Workflow
please refer to the Online Helps and the
manuals of the products concerned.
syngo® Imaging
syngo Studio and syngo Workflow Browser or
the syngo portals can be integrated on your
workplace. PACS and RIS are then combined
to a single application. Several monitors can
also be connected.

You process volume data sets of different
modalities. For example, you can render
images as Multiplanar Reconstructions (MPR),
Shaded Surface Displays (SSD), or Maximum
Intensity Projections (MIP). syngo 3-D can be
extended by the following options:
❏ With syngo 3-D Bone Removal, you can
hide bone in CT data sets.
❏ With syngo 3-D VRT (Volume Rendering
Technique), you can render CT and MR data
sets in high quality down to the finest
detail.
❏ With syngo Image Fusion, you can
compare two 3D data sets of a single
patient—even of different modalities.

Studio
❏ With syngo FlyThrough you can move
virtually through hollow structures, such as
the bronchial system or arteries.
❏ With the two-monitor license you can work
in comparison mode (parallel display of
two series) or in blow-up mode
(magnification of the image currently
displayed on the second monitor).
syngo Filming
You output images onto film or paper. The
virtual film sheet permits a 1:1 preview and
allows you to make changes interactively.
syngo TrueD
Compare studies of different modalities that
were acquired at different times, for example,
the images of a patient before and after
treatment.
syngo Colonography
You perform volumetric examinations of
colon lesions and monitor the changes over
time. The size, shape and position of
individual areas can be clearly interpreted.
You can process the images of a patient in
several task cards at once.
syngo® Imaging
When saving changes or results in an
additional task card, a new series will be
created.
