Siemens Healthcare in its booth highlighted syngo TrueD, a multimodality application for oncology. TrueD registers data sets obtained using PET/CT, SPECT/CT, CT, and MR, allowing exams of patients scanned at different times -- before and after therapy, for instance -- to be compared. Differences found in these comparisons may inform decisions about whether to continue or modify treatment. In addition to registration and visualization, TrueD performs quantitative measures that can document changes at up to three time points. Rigid and nonrigid methods for structure comparisons include navigational tools that support visual alignment and matching landmarks.

Rigid and nonrigid methods for structure comparisons include navigational tools that support visual alignment and matching landmarks.
During the show, Siemens also highlighted a PACS for radiology and a PACS for cardiology. Its syngo Suite, a web-enabled RIS/PACS for radiology, features speech recognition or dictation and postprocessing and computer-aided detection applications. The workflow engine pulls relevant information from the RIS and PACS, providing a role-based, context-sensitive, and knowledge-driven reading environment. The cardiology PACS, syngo Dynamics, offers access to imaging studies at diagnostic workstations networked throughout the hospital.
Deep Learning Detection of Mammography Abnormalities: What a New Study Reveals
June 19th 2023In multiple mammography datasets with the original radiologist-detected abnormality removed, deep learning detection of breast cancer had an average area under the curve (AUC) of 87 percent and an accuracy rate of 83 percent, according to research presented at the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference.
Detecting Intracranial Hemorrhages: Can an Emerging AI Advance Have an Impact?
June 9th 2022A 3D whole brain convolutional neural network could provide enhanced sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing intracranial hemorrhages on computed tomography, according to new research presented at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference in Kissimmee, Fla.
