At the 101st Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 29 to Dec. 4 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Siemens Healthcare introduces a wide array of cutting-edge diagnostic and interventional systems that help health care facilities perform optimally in the wake of increasing cost pressure, an expanding emphasis on quality measures, and mounting time constraints. With its RSNA 2015 portfolio, Siemens Healthcare provides the tools necessary to deliver the best patient outcomes in the most efficient manner possible, making each day pay off for patients and for health care institutions.

At RSNA 2015, Siemens showcases the following new innovations:

Angiography

Siemens adds two new features to its established PURE® platform, which simplifies the adoption and utilization of advanced features on the Artis zee®, Artis Q, and Artis Q.zen angiography systems. Designed to aid in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), syngo EVAR Guidance² offers automated detection of vessel walls on computed tomography (CT) datasets as well as automatic placement of landmarks for 3D image guidance. Additionally, it suggests the optimal angulation of C-arms for precise deployment. Enabling better treatment of highly challenging chronic total occlusions (CTOs), syngo CTO Guidance² automatically segments coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) images in addition to providing procedural guidance.


Molecular Imaging

The versatile new Biograph Horizon™ ¹ positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET•CT) system offers premium performance at an attractive level of investment. Leveraging the standard in PET/CT technology, the system images patients using all commercially available PET tracers, enabling users to address more indications in oncology, neurology and cardiology. To help physicians visualize small lesions earlier, Biograph Horizon's 4 mm lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals scintillate faster and have a higher light output compared to BGO crystals3, providing high resolution for an outstanding level of image quality and enabling Time-of-Flight.4 The system simplifies staff's daily routine by automating manual tasks and offering fast acquisition, image delivery and case processing to increase productivity. Configured specifically for Biograph Horizon, syngo.via Molecular Imaging Workplace4 is a cost-effective image processing solution that can expand to meet changing clinical needs. And as the smallest5 PET/CT system with the lowest5 power requirements, Biograph Horizon can help minimize a facility's initial capital investment, while low operating and maintenance costs help manage the total cost of ownership.
