- Category: Research
If the pressure in the eye is too high, nerve fibers die, resulting in visual field loss or blindness. Since increased intraocular pressure, also known as glaucoma, is not usually painful, the condition is often diagnosed too late.

Siemens introduces the world's smallest ultrasound device
- Details
- Category: Siemens Healthineers
The first few minutes are instrumental in emergency situations. A new portable ultrasound device from Siemens Medical Systems supports medical personnel in these efforts. The device, known as Acuson P10, is a hand-held device intended for complementary initial diagnostic care and triage, particularly in cardiology, emergency care and obstetrics. It is poised to change the physical exam by providing
immediate information to health care providers at the earliest possible patient intervention points, such as intensive care units, ambulances and medical
helicopters.
Greater Efficiency and Diagnostic Certainty in Cardiac MRI
- Details
- Category: Siemens Healthineers
Now functional cardiac analysis is performed even faster than before with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thanks to a new software module from Siemens: the new "Inline Ventricular Function" (Inline VF) enables full automatic detection of heart contours and their motion during image acquisition. Physicists can accurately evaluate cardiac functioning immediately after the scan. Previously, the image data had to be transferred to post-processing consoles, and frequently contours had to be post-processed manually.
Vascular analysis via the Internet - quick and user-friendly
- Details
- Category: Siemens Healthineers
New functions for vascular analysis expand syngo WebSpace, Siemens Medical Solution's client-server solution for computed tomography (CT). syngo WebSpace allows users to access and manipulate the CT images via an Internet or other network connection. Improved algorithms and additional tools in the new software version enable physicians to accurately analyze small vessels as well as document reports more quickly.
The image reviewing and archiving system from Siemens
- Details
- Category: Siemens Healthineers
Siemens Medical Solutions advanced its image reviewing and archiving system for cardiology even further and added new levels of efficiency to clinical processes. It is now possible to create evidence-based reports with syngo Dynamics. The physician is able to supplement his own clinical experience with the best treatment results from medical research.
Siemens introduces a new ultrasound application for evaluating the risk of heart disease
- Details
- Category: Siemens Healthineers
Siemens Medical Solutions expanded its portfolio of ultrasound applications: the syngo Arterial Health Package (AHP) calculates cardiovascular risks by measuring the carotid intima media thickness and determining the so-called vascular age - the relative age of the vessel. Together with other factors, such as cholesterol values and blood pressure, the physician can use the results of syngo AHP to better assess a patient's myocardial or stroke-related risk and establish an individual prevention and treatment plan.
