Introduction
syngo.via1 is the intelligent imaging software for See what’s relevant
multi-modality reading that helps you master growing When you open a case in syngo.via, you immediately
amounts of imaging data in less time. see the information relevant to you. syngo.via works with
In short: syngo.via is reading as it should be. intelligent anatomy recognition, images are mapped and
aligned based on anatomical landmarks, so you can
start reading straight away.
Get the most out of your images
Whether you look at CT, MI or MRI images, read
mammography or prepare for radiation therapy, with Deliver to the point
syngo.via, you read your cases regardless of modality in one syngo.via reports are clearly arranged and enriched by
place. There is no need to switch workstations. syngo.via is images such as photorealistic Cinematic VRTs2, trendings,
the intelligent software that brings together the imaging and actionable data. This supports your colleagues'
information you need to make a clear decision. medical decision-making. syngo.via can easily be integrated
into existing information systems – simplifying the
distribution of results inside and outside of your
department.

syngo.via is based on a client-server architecture. Therefore, the integration into an existing IT architecture requires IT
administration. It is also necessary for the IT administrator to assist the implementation and maintenance of syngo.via.
Additionally, a customer clinical administrator (key user) is strongly recommended. The customer IT administrator as
well as the customer clinical administrator are appointed by the customer and have to be trained by Siemens.
