High-quality images taken with the Viera wireless ultrasound scanner are comparable to mid-tier cart systems, and are easy to access. Images are transmitted directly to a smart device – with or without Internet access. They can be integrated seamlessly with existing PACS infrastructure or by the convenience of the Cloud. And with many preset imaging controls, including automated gain and frequency settings, Viera ultrasound is as easy to use as the camera on a smartphone. Viera ultrasound provides easy access to imaging throughout the facility, including preset modes for breast, dense breast, interventional, vascular and small parts applications. Viera handheld ultrasound is a wireless tool that leverages existing smart devices – no Internet access required when scanning. Viera ultrasound’s exceptional portability gives on-demand access to imaging. It offers an efficient way to perform guided interventional procedures, like biopsies, marker placements, and wire localizations. It also helps augment capabilities for facilities with limited imaging capacity. The Viera portable wireless ultrasound scanner is ideal for quick diagnostic looks, visual confirmations, interventional procedures, vascular access, and small parts exams and procedures. Easy access to these capabilities will help optimize clinical workflow and patient pathway. Features includes preset modes for breast, dense breast, and interventional procedures; customizable annotations package enabling efficient documentation; breast reporting package for quickly documenting services and ensuring accurate billing and audit. This portable ultrasound scanner is wireless, works with a mobile app and is compatible with most iOS and Android smart devices available today. And, unlike traditional systems, Viera ultrasound can be carried around for quick exams and guided procedures.

AI-Rad Companion Chest CT, an intelligent software assistant for radiology, was recently
awarded the CE mark. This artificial intelligence (AI)-based software helps radiologists interpret CT (Computed Tomography) images of the thorax faster and more precisely, and to document the findings in less time with the help of automatic measurements. AI-Rad Companion Chest CT is the first AI-based application on the new AI-Rad Companion platform, and is vendor-neutral, which means the software can evaluate image data from many CT system manufacturers. Siemens Healthineers plans to expand this platform so that more and more intelligent algorithms will be available for additional organs and modalities. This will enable the company to consistently expand its portfolio of effective solutions for AI-based clinical decision support. Results drawn up by radiologists can vary by some 10-20 percent, depending on the investigator. Algorithm-based diagnostics completely obviate this variability, generating constant results. That alone is a huge advantage of AI platforms like AI-Rad Companion. Using CT images of the thorax (chest), the software can differentiate between the various structures of the chest, highlight them individually, and mark and measure potential abnormalities automatically. This applies equally to organs such as the heart and lungs, aorta, and vertebral bodies. The software automatically turns the findings into a quantitative report, which can be called up via the image viewing system used by the radiologist in the clinical routine. In certain circumstances, the intelligent assistant also alerts physicians to potential abnormalities that would otherwise have been missed because they were not the focus of the original examination, e.g. chance discoveries of pathological dilations of the aorta (aneurysms). Examination using a chest CT is a procedure often used in everyday clinical practice. For radiologists, this means more examinations in a limited amount of time and usually for low reimbursement rates. AI-Rad Companion Chest CT is a tool that can actually simultaneously increase productivity and quality in diagnostic radiology. AI-Rad Companion Chest CT is a cloud-based solution and uses certified, secure teamplay infrastructure that complies with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the U.S., and with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU. The software conforms to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards. The images and all supporting information can be made automatically available in the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) in line with the radiologist’s individual requirements.

RaySafe X2 Solo is a new product line that covers the measurement needs of specific X-ray modalities. It’s based on the same technology as RaySafe X2, but instead of multi-modality capability, each model meets specific needs. RaySafe X2 Solo features a large touch screen showing all parameters simultaneously, sensors ready for measurements without special settings or modes and a base unit storing all readings and showing full waveforms. It offers  true ease-of-use, which saves valuable time and minimizes the risk of making faulty measurements. RaySafe X2 Solo removes unnecessary steps in taking a measurement – like positioning the sensor, choosing a setting, or interpreting results. The R/F and DENT sensors are both orientation-independent so the only thing to do is to place the sensor in the X-ray beam and turn on the instrument. The rest is automatic – no menus or special settings needed. RaySafe X2 Solo combines state-of-the-art sensor technology with an intuitive and proven user interface, ensuring user friendliness. Each X2 Solo includes a specific sensor to cover specific needs.
