Other new features include the syngo Dynamics Patient Jacket³ for centralized patient view to enable accessibility and efficiency. syngo Dynamics Analytics³ provides access to consolidated enterprise-wide data for administrators and clinicians for tailored graphical and summary reporting. The syngo Dynamics Whiteboard³ is used to enhance communication for clinical and administrative staff to improve operational efficiency. Additionally, syngo Dynamics Mobile4 is used to access images and reports anytime, anywhere.5
Reducing dose in cardiac CT
Siemens has long offered a range of low-dose solutions for cardiac imaging. The SOMATOM Definition Flash, Siemens' dual-source CT system, operates at an extremely reduced radiation dose, capable of performing a spiral heart scan with a dose of less than 1 millisevert (mSv) in a quarter of a second in clinical routine (by comparison, the average annual background radiation dose for humans worldwide is roughly 2.4 mSv). With the addition of Siemens' CT iterative reconstruction SAFIRE,6 which can drive down doses up to 60 percent, and the new Stellar Detector - the first fully integrated detector that virtually eliminates electronic noise - the SOMATOM Definition Flash enables clinicians to reduce patient dose even further.

The automated preprocessing of Siemens' syngo.via² imaging software enables full cardiovascular assessment in less than one minute.
CT is also the ideal tool for planning aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) stent placement.
Offering nuclear cardiology solutions
Nuclear cardiologists who use Siemens' Symbia® S and Symbia T single-photon emission CT (SPECT) and SPECT●]CT systems can dramatically reduce the length of imaging protocols via IQ•SPECT, a field-upgradeable hardware/software combination that enables the reduction of cardiac imaging protocols from 20 minutes to under five minutes. These shortened exams allow a sustainable approach to nuclear cardiology that potentially enables decreased radiation dose to patients, provides high-quality diagnostic information, and allows users to better utilize an imaging resource.
Additionally, Siemens Biograph® mCT PET●CT helps assess coronary artery disease and heart damage as well as differentiate living muscle from damaged muscle. Also featured with cardiac PET at ACC '12: syngo Myocardial Blood Flow, which provides measurement of myocardial blood flow analysis with single-injection protocols and no additional scan time or dose.
