SYNGO.VIA

Results from the scanner are optimally displayed in the reading workflows.
Key benefits Guidance, standardization and flexibility is offered for every step of the workflow, reducing the need for further inquiry
Increasing throughput, minimizing recalls, and enhancing quality of care.
Networked MR scanner – the scanner workplace for optimized productivity
syngo.via handles images from any MR system. With MAGNETOM scanners, the integration is perfect. The networking capabilities of the MAGNETOM scanners and syngo.via will transform the technologist workplace of today. One consistent workflow is offered, from planning, to scanning to viewing, and processing.
Key features Host computer of the MAGNETOM Skyra is rich-thin-client enabled. The syngo.via client can be run with only one keyboard and one mouse – no cumbersome change of devices necessary.
syngo.via offers unique workflows to support the technologist:
• Check Protocol: pre-defined protocols are automatically displayed
• Initiate Scan: get guidance by additional text info for the optimal scan and patient set-up. Start patient registration directly out of syngo.via
• Check images: immediate availability of images, easy quality check of images
Automatic transfer of the patient data and planned protocols from syngo.via to the scanner. No need for double entry of information.
Automatic selection of the appropriate syngo.via reading workflow
syngo.via and MAGNETOM Skyra UI – both based on the proven syngo UI concept.
Key benefits
Work with different patients side-by-side without any screen overlays and possible confusions. E.g. begin with patient registration of one patient, while other patient is still scanned.
Automatic transfer of information – reduced need for clarifications
Higher throughput, reliable results, and reduced costs.
Pre-requisites Additional monitor and one syngo.via license

Direct Protocol Transfer (DPT)
syngo.via redefines protocol management – providing remote protocol planning, and automated selection
of the right protocols at the scanner. syngo.via offers a dedicated workflow for protocol planning and
distribution. The radiologist can plan the protocols from anywhere in the institutional network.
Key features Remote protocol planning from any syngo.via client to select or modify a planned
protocol (and perhaps add further explanations) for a patient examination before
the patient is registered at the MR system. The planed protocol will be automatically
transferred to the scanner via DICOM Modality Worklist.
The technologist works with the same syngo.x view directly at the scanner –
accessing the same information, without any further handwritten notes or need for
clarifications.
Automatic transfer of the patient data and planned protocols from syngo.via to the
scanner. No need for double entry of information.
In addition: Remote Protocol distribution:
• upload, change and/or delete any protocol from your MAGNETOM scanners
(available for all Tim Systems)
• send examination protocols to every other connected scanner
Key benefits Define standards of care and easily distribute the related protocols among your Tim
systems.
Save time for clarifications – while minimizing re-scans
Easy, automated, and efficient protocol handling – from anywhere
DPT works with MAGNETOM Skyra and any other Tim system.
Direct Image Transfer (DIT)
After completion of a series of images, they are transferred automatically to syngo.via. Easily view the
images with any syngo.via client immediately after they were acquired.
Key features This data will be automatically transferred to the syngo.via data base and loaded
into the related workflow. Enhanced DICOM MR enables to transfer fMRI data and
spectroscopy raw data in new DICOM standard format. In syngo.via and any PACS
supporting this standard, these data can be handled.
Key benefits Images are immediately available throughout the institution. This enables fast and
convenient feedback from everywhere.
Direct Image
Transfer Pro
A direct cable connection is build between the MAGNETOM scanner and the
syngo.via server. This ensures a guarantied performance for image transfer.
Seamless workstation integration
syngo.via. integrates smoothly with syngo MultiModality Workstation (MMWP). Open MMWP directly out of syngo.via, and vice versa.
Key features Remotely open the same patient at the MMWP easily with syngo Expert-i
The MMWP results can then be easily integrated into the syngo.via report
syngo.via client can be opened from any MMWP with one click
Key benefits Remote and easy access of all MMWP applications
Smooth integration of results into syngo.via
