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.

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.
Philips Seeks to Reduce Time from Heart Attack to Treatment

- Category: Philips
At the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) annual congress, Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHI) today demonstrated its HeartStart MRx Monitor/Defibrillator, which enables paramedics to transmit patient data from the ambulance to the hospital's emergency department. Upon reception of the data at the hospital, clinicians can use the ECG data to begin assessing what treatment the incoming patient will need. By allowing a hospital to begin organizing its resources before the patient arrives, the MRx can help reduce the time to treatment.
