” 

Information on the coronary status is of greatest importance 

for the management of patients with suspected 

or diagnosed Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), the largest 

patient group in cardiology. When diagnosing a patient, 

you want to know: 

• What is the risk for a future myocardial infarction? 

• Is the acute chest pain caused by CAD? 

• What is the severity of disease? 

• Is there a myocardial infarction? 

• Which treatment is appropriate? 

syngo. via offers you a variety of tools and applications to 

efficiently identify the answers during related readings 

and evaluations.

syngo. CT CaScoring 

Quick and confident risk assessment and 

coronary age calculation with CT or SPECT 

Assessment of coronary artery calcium burden can be 

used as a prognostic indicator of the patient’s risk of 

morbidity from atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. 

Recent studies have indicated that calcium scoring 

shows promise as a good risk-assessment tool and it 

may be a better predictor of coronary heart disease 

compared to more traditional cardiac risk evaluation 

methods. Calcium scoring can also be used in a presurgical 

workup before performing cardiothoracic 

surgery. 

syngo. via with syngo. CT CaScoring allows accurate 

visualization and quick quantification of calcified 

coronary lesions, including number of lesions, 

volume, calcium mass, and Agatston Score. Scoring 

is easily performed for the main coronary arteries 

(RCA, LM, LAD, CX). To finally yield a refined risk 

stratification, the patient’s score is compared to a 

reference group, for example the MESA study. 

When combining SPECT with a diagnostic CT exam, a 

perfusion scan and calcium scoring can be performed 

in one examination. syngo. via with syngo. SPECT 

Cardiology Engine 4DM 1 or syngo. SPECT Cardiology 

Engine Cedars 1 will allow the quantification of the 

myocardial perfusion examination and comprehensive 

calcium scoring. When combining SPECT perfusion 

with CT calcium scoring on a SPECT/CT scanner, the 

risk stratification and subsequent patient management 

can be even more differentiated.

syngo. CT Coronary Analysis 

syngo. MR General Engine 

Rule-out of coronary artery disease 

in less than a minute 

Information about the coronary status is of greatest 

importance for the management of patients with 

coronary artery disease. Due to the Automatic Pre- 

Processing in syngo. via with syngo. CT Coronary 

Analysis, a cardiac CTA case is ready for review as 

soon as it is opened. The table and rib cage are automatically 

removed and the main coronary arteries, 

major coronary branches, and SV grafts are automatically 

segmented and labeled. The centerlines 

are automatically computed and the comprehensive 

layout for display of multiple CPRs permits the review 

of the coronary tree with the blink of an eye. The 

Single Click Stenosis function 1 gives you all relevant 

information at a glance, such as the diameter and 

area of the stenosis. The profile curve helps to locate 

other possible stenoses and the plaque lens visualizes 

plaque composition. syngo. via with syngo. CT Coronary 

Analysis further provides the robust and intuitive 

VesselSURF tool, which allows for immediate 3D 

vessel assessment of axial slices, even without the 

existence of centerlines or in occluded vessels. 

All your findings and key images are collected on-thefly 

in the Findings Navigator as you read the case. 

Your result: Rule-out and reporting of coronary artery 

disease in less than a minute. 

Detect even minor abnormalities 

in MRI exams 

In MR exams, syngo.via combines images from functional 

data and dynamic signal assessment at rest and 

stress in the same view. When scrolling up and down 

within a series, you will see linked data from the 

other acquisitions displayed at the same anatomical 

position – making it easy to compare all available 

data and detect even minor abnormalities.

To take full advantage of the quantitative and dynamic 

imaging capabilities of PET, the syngo.PET Myocardial 

Blood Flow 2 application is available. It evaluates 

myocardial blood flow (MBF) during rest and peak 

stress (in ml/g/min) and calculates the resulting coronary 

flow reserve (CFR). This quantitative approach 

improves confidence in the evaluation of myocarsyngo.PET 

Myocardial Blood Flow 2 

syngo. CT Cardiac Function 

Full spectrum of myocardial perfusion 

analysis in SPECT and PET exams 

In symptomatic patients, you need to determine 

whether a decrease in bloodflow is occurring at rest, 

stress, or both. Is there a perfusion defect? Is the 

damage reversible? syngo. via with syngo. SPECT 

Cardiology Engine 4DM 2 or syngo. SPECT Cardiology 

Engine Cedars 2 can answer these questions by automatically 

analyzing and quantifying the stress and 

rest myocardial perfusion and comparing the results 

to a normals database, also for gated datasets. Slice 

displays are customizable to provide visualization of 

the 2D cardiac slices in the desired layout. Polar plots 

(raw, normalized, blackout, severity) with segmental 

quantitative scores can also be displayed to help 

assess the severity of disease. 

Myocardial perfusion using PET has been shown to 

have high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis 

and characterization of coronary artery disease. The 

syngo.mCT Cardiology Engine 4DM 2 and syngo.mCT 

Cardiology Engine Cedars 2 allow for comprehensive 

evaluation of PET perfusion and viability studies. 

dial ischemia and functional estimation of coronary 

stenosis as well as the characterization of balanced or 

triple vessel disease. With syngo.PET Myocardial Blood 

Flow 2 , such quantitative evaluations can be performed 

routinely as part of dynamic perfusion scans.

syngo. Interventional QCA 

CT as a one-stop shop for assessment 

of myocardial perfusion 

In recent years, CT has been moving toward being a 

one-stop shop that allows for assessment of myocardial 

perfusion in addition to pure anatomy to analyze the 

hemodynamic relevance of a stenosis. syngo. via with 

syngo. CT Cardiac Function provides dedicated First 

Pass and Late Enhancement visualizations that facilitate 

the detection of myocardial perfusion defects. 

The Compare Layout easily allows users to differentiate 

between fixed and reversible defects by simultaneously 

displaying the rest against the stress scan. 

Alternatively, this mode may be used to distinguish 

scar tissue by loading a late enhancement scan. 

For dual energy scans, syngo.CT DE Heart PBV calculates 

material-specific iodine maps of the myocardium 

that also help in the detection and quantification 

of perfusion defects. Furthermore, syngo. via allows 

users to easily load dynamic myocardial perfusion 

data obtained with the SOMATOM® Definition Flash 

for the quantitative assessment of blood volume and 

blood flow. 

Simplified reading and analysis 

of cardiac MRI examinations 

Working with cardiac MRI data on a conventional 

workstation is challenging: Multiple applications are 

needed; synchronization and navigation capabilities 

may be insufficient. Cardiology-specific features may 

not be available. The syngo. via-based syngo. MR 

General Engine offers a rich suite of various functionalities 

to cover all of your routine reading and postprocessing 

needs. Be it managing images from different 

cardiac views, or phases or searching for useful 

information from other acquisitions, the MR Cardiac 

Reading workflow of this Engine links all the images 

and information to the series that is currently viewed. 

With its automatic layout formatting, the MR Cardiac 

Reading workflow ensures that a cardiac MR case is 

ready for review as soon as it is opened. Every detail is 

in the combined view. Images are presented by type 

or anatomical view. They are automatically recognized 

and sorted by order and location to provide a quick 

overview of even the tough cases. Through the guided 

approach, automated short and long axis contours are 

created and further parameter analysis is suggested. 

So your MR images are ready for reading.

syngo. Interventional QCA Bifurcation 

syngo.Interventional IZ3D 

Optimal assistance for stent planning 

Once you detect a stenosis, imaging helps you plan 

the intervention. To close the gap between diagnosis 

and interventional procedure planning, syngo. via 

with syngo. Interventional QCA supports you in the 

assessment of coronary artery dimensions. This 

scientifically validated 2D coronary quantification 

software provides quantitative coronary vessel analysis 

and is optimized for small vessels like coronary arteries. 

Featuring single vessel analysis including calibration, 

vessel border detection, and quantification of the 

severity of stenosis, it can assist you in the selection 

of the optimal balloon and stent. For CT datasets, 

syngo.via with syngo.CT Coronary Analysis assists 

you on the pre-procedural planning of the coronary 

stents as it provides the curved length, area, and 

diameter of a lesion for easy and efficient planning. 

Accurate analysis of bifurcation lesions 

A major challenge for interventional cardiologists is 

coronary artery bifurcation lesions. Using the conventional 

QCA without a dedicated bifurcation option 

for the evaluation of dedicated stenting devices has 

limitations due to vessel diameter changes over the 

bifurcation. Another complication lies in defining the 

true reference vessel size (healthy vessel) within the 

bifurcation area. syngo. via with syngo. Interventional 

QCA Bifurcation helps you to overcome these limitations 

and achieve the most accurate bifurcation 

analysis. 

3D reconstructions of the artery of interest help to 

eliminate foreshortening and out-of-plane magnification 

errors. syngo. via with syngo. Inter ventional 

IZ3D offers automated detection and 3D analysis of 

single and bifurcated coronary arteries from angiographic 

X-ray projection images. Multiple X-ray 

projections are used to calculate the true geometric 

shape in 3D space and create an interactive 3D view 

of the artery of interest. This way, it enables improved 

analysis results and a clear visualization of the 

geometry of difficult lesions and segment anatomy. 

Sharper images of calcified 

lesions and stents 

Even though a stenting procedure was successful, 

patients might get symptomatic again over time. So 

you need to follow-up on the patency of the stents. 

Evaluating stent patency or possible occlusions is 

facilitated by the Image Sharpening Tool of syngo. via 

with syngo. CT Coronary Analysis. Blooming artifacts 

that often appear around small, high-contrast objects 

are reduced without the need for an additional sharp 

reconstruction. The image is displayed as if it was 

reconstructed with a sharp reconstruction kernel thus 

saving valuable time.

Functional and volumetric evaluations are the cornerstone 

of every cardiac MRI examination in ischaemic 

heart disease as well as in cardiomyopathies and 

myocarditis. Precise analysis of all relevant volumetric 

parameters such as ejection fraction, stroke volume 

and segmental analysis of wall thickening needs to 

be performed. syngo. via with syngo. MR Cardiac 4D 

Ventricular Function processes MR cine images of the 

heart and generates the required quantitative results 

for the diagnostic process. It loads the entire dataset 

and sorts it automatically, allowing you to see immediate 

results when you open the case. Additionally, 

the preprocessed segmentation of the left ventricle, 

which is based on an award-winning algorithm, is 

instantly displayed. Ventricular volumes, ejection 

fraction, and myocardial mass, as well as myocardial 

thickening for all myocardial segments are calculated 

automatically and displayed in standardized graphs 

and tables. All data are structured into workflow steps 

with dedicated reading layouts. These workflow steps 

also guide you through the MR cardiac function analysis 

for the left and right ventricle. As an example, 

syngo. MR Cardiac 4D Ventricular Function includes an 

interactive reporting template. 

Low-dose evaluation of ischemia or 

cardiomyopathy with CTA 

syngo. via with syngo. CT Cardiac Function allows you

More syngo. via 

features for sustainable 

cardiovascular reading 

syngo. MR Cardiac 4D Ventricular Function 

Multimodality reading, immediate case 

review, and insightful disease orientation 

Since syngo. via provides multimodality reading, it can give you additional and 

potentially decisive diagnostic information in your cardiovascular workup. Should 

any additional image data from, for example, MRI, Ultrasound, Angiography, 

Dual Energy or CT Perfusion be available for your patient, you can easily drag and 

drop the data into your cardiovascular reading layout. syngo. via preprocesses the 

images and lets you start reading your case immediately. Your cardiovascular case 

automatically loads into the appropriate reading environment, including the right 

application, layout, and tools. All user interface elements can be hidden so you 

can focus on the case. And when you need to change to a different tool, it’s where 

you need it: on the image, in the corner menus, and on your configurable context 

menu. Last but not least, with syngo. via, you can create disease-specific reports right 

away 1 . They visualize the diagnosis and provide important facts and results from 

your evaluation at a glance – including key images and findings details, such as 

calcium score, ejection fraction, stroke volume, and LV and RV volumes. 

On-the-fly collection of your 

findings and key images 

All your findings and key images are collected on-the-fly in syngo. via’s unique 

Findings Navigator while you read the case. You never need to repeat what 

you have already finished. With the Findings Navigator, retrieving and toggling 

between findings for detailed information is as easy as a single click. It will always 

bring you back to the same context as when you first collected the finding: the 

same 2D or 3D image, the same layout, and the same window. The Findings 

Navigator facilitates accelerated reading and your list of findings can be elegantly 

used as bookmarks for easy sharing and presentation of your results during 

clinical demonstrations. 

1 

The disease-specific report created in syngo. via is not the final diagnostic report. The final 

diagnostic report is generated and signed off within the RIS. Archiving of diagnostic reports 

is the responsibility of the RIS.

syngo. via Mobile Applications, i.e., syngo. via WebViewer and syngo. via WebReport, are optional 

components of syngo. via. For further information about availability or restrictions refer to the 

syngo. via Overview Brochure.

Unique information sharing and effective 

communication with colleagues and patients 

Cardiovascular imaging is a team effort. Whether it is in the 3D laboratories, at the 

scanner, or workspace in the cardiologist’s office, multiple users need to be able to 

access and manipulate cardiac datasets concurrently. For instance, when a cardiac 

CT scan is performed, the technologist at the scanner can prepare the calcium 

score. At the same time, the reading physician can take care of the vascular and 

functional evaluation and can confidently confirm the findings. Furthermore, 

MR Cardiac data can be pulled up easily in order to support the diagnosis and to 

plan future treatment. Sharing results with colleagues and referrers is easy. The 

client server architecture enables real time second opinion and on-call support 

remotely. Using the Findings Navigator or the Collaboration Mode allows the 

physician the ability to discuss or present a case quickly and efficiently – and all 

of the information is then automatically dropped into dedicated cardiac reporting 

templates. Finally, syngo.via Mobile Applications 2 allow new ways to discuss the 

case with colleagues, referrers, and even patients. For example, surgeons can 

plan an intervention by navigating through the case in 3D, instead of looking at 

static 2D images. Physicians and referrers within and outside the hospital can review 

findings, related images, and reports. 

For iPhone and iPad country specific laws may apply. Please refer to these laws before using for 

diagnostic reading/viewing. 

23

syngo. via is more than 

processing images. 

Live access anytime, anywhere 1 via client-server architecture 

Innovative integration with modalities and RIS/PACS 

syngo. via is based on a client-server architecture and represents a complete departure 

from the workstation paradigm: The server processes and renders the data from 

the connected modalities. The client provides the user interface. Since the majority 

of the data processing is performed by the server, the client can run on standard offthe-shelf 

computers 2 . This means you can access syngo. via from virtually anywhere 

within the network infrastructure and perform your tasks. Therefore, for example, 

pre-interventional 2D and 3D images as well as measurements and treatment planning 

data can be at hand in any 1 lab where an intervention ultimately takes place. 

Up to five concurrent readers can even use the same applications enabling fast parallel 

reading. Workplaces are not “bound” to a physical location, but virtually “follow” 

you. Whether at the reading physician’s office, at a workstation in a different department, 

reporting from PACS, at a case demonstration, or even at home 1 , you benefit 

from syngo. via’s client-server technology and get quick multimodality information. 

By using common IT standards, syngo. via connects to RIS/PACS and modalities of 

all major vendors. Hence, you can freely navigate the entire dataset, use advanced 

segmentation and quantification tools, and document findings – right on the 

RIS/PACS reporting workplace. Cases can now be interpreted and reported with 

access to full clinical information, without depending on secondary captures or 

switching between reporting and reading workplaces. Even greater synergies can 

be achieved by connecting syngo. via to RIS/PACS and modalities from Siemens: 

Instant data-streaming allows a faster modality connection, and thus faster availability 

of images. When using syngo. plaza (Siemens PACS), images are displayed 

simultaneously in syngo. via – without additional clicks. Last but not least, 

the unified syngo user interface makes it easy to work with Siemens systems.

Capability to combine advanced visualization, 

quantification tools, and structured reporting 

The capability to combine syngo. via with syngo Dynamics Cardiovascular Imaging 

and Information Solution (CVIIS) continues the Siemens Healthcare philosophy 

to provide comprehensive and innovative solutions to cardiovascular specialists 

through a single point of control. syngo. via automatically prepares multimodality 

cases for reading, provides insightful disease-specific step-by-step guidance, and 

comes with advanced visualization tools. syngo Dynamics CVIIS is used for the 

acceptance, transfer, display, storage, archive, and manipulation of digital medical 

images from echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, nuclear medicine, OB, 

and ultrasound departments, as well as for quantification and report generation. 

It also provides the ability to manage patient information, order entry, whiteboard 

scheduling and business analytics 3 . A personalized workspace offers a flexible 

monitor configuration with access to additional workflow-enhancing software 

and networked applications. 

The integration of both products thus offers cardiovascular specialists a natural 

transition between advanced visualization software and quantification tools combined 

with structured reporting in the department and enterprise environment. 

syngo. via – a modular, multimodality solution 

syngo. via is a modular solution combining client-server architecture and a variety of 

standard and optional software applications. Every syngo. via configuration includes 

applications that provide an extensive range of functions and tools required 

for a variety of clinical fields. syngo. via includes what you need to read and share 

images and results. Additionally, a broad variety of optional clinical applications 4 

for a higher level of automation and quantification is available for syngo. via. 

These applications are commercially available either as single applications or as 

Engines – sets of applications for the specific imaging technologies. There are two 

levels of Engines: Engine and Engine Pro. The Engine level addresses the needs 

of users who regularly work in a specific clinical field. The Engine Pro level can 

be ordered on top of the Engine level, and provides advanced functionality and 

automated workflows for high-end reading and processing. The result is a reading 

and evaluation solution tailored to your workflow requirements, installed modalities, 

and clinical focus. The powerful applications and engines can be purchased at 

any time – making syngo. via a modular, multimodality, client-server solution that 

can grow with you today, as well as tomorrow.
