June 9, 2016, Siemens Healthineers -- At the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), June 11-15 at the San Diego Convention Center, Siemens Healthineers offers molecular imaging solutions without compromise, including a new release of its established syngo®.via for Molecular Imaging preprocessing, reading, and reporting software for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET) and – for the first time – single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The company also introduces a new mobile configuration of its Biograph Horizon™ PET/CT system, offering premium performance at a low total cost of ownership.

syngo.via for Molecular Imaging
The new version of the syngo.via for Molecular Imaging software solution from Siemens Healthineers enables preprocessing, reading, and reporting for both PET and SPECT, enabling physicians to use the intuitive user interface to allow for synergies across departments using syngo.via.


The new iteration of syngo.via for Molecular Imaging offers four new features. For SPECT, organ processing for nuclear medicine helps physicians visualize and quantify the physiological characteristics of organs such as the lungs, kidneys and stomach. For PET, the Molecular Tumor Volume (MTV) and Total Lesion Glycolysis (TLG) features together enable physicians to measure the standardized metabolic activity of the entire tumor mass, potentially improving the preoperative identification of high-risk patients and the prognostic value in predicting overall survival; and hybrid gating 4D visualization of PET and CT supports therapy planning and delivery.

And syngo.via MI Workplace – the company’s cost-effective, scalable configuration of syngo.via for Molecular Imaging – is designed to bolster the performance of PET and SPECT scanners. In addition to image processing, syngo.via MI Workplace may increase diagnostic confidence by quantifying disease parameters in a wide range of clinical areas. Available with the Biograph Horizon PET/CT system and with all Symbia™ SPECT and SPECT/CT systems, syngo.via MI Workplace may increase a facility’s clinical capabilities and can be expanded to accommodate an ever-evolving exam mix.

Mobile Biograph Horizon PET/CT
Siemens Healthineers also debuts the mobile configuration of its recently introduced Biograph Horizon PET/CT system, which delivers high-end functionality at an attractive total cost of ownership. This new mobile-ready version of Biograph Horizon is intended for cost-conscious health care facilities that do not yet possess the patient volume to support installation of a fixed PET/CT. The mobile configuration also may be ideal for consolidated health systems looking to tailor their imaging delivery strategy in diverse service areas.
