Synapse 3D

At a Glance

The new Synapse® 3D Clinical Application Suite: Demonstrated workflow speed and efficiency with diagnostic algorithms that are designed for Synapse PACS and Synapse Cardiovascular.

Deciding which advanced visualization software to choose can be challenging, especially when capital dollars are difficult to come by. What if you didn’t have to make a choice? Instead of one application, you could have all 20 applications, or a package of applications that meet your multi-modality and multi-vendor needs without all the extra workstations, licenses and training? Advanced visualization is a critical part of patient care. That is why Synapse 3D Clinical Application Suite features impressive clinical tools to meet your general, cardiac and advanced radiology needs.

Radiology

Synapse 3D Radiology Clinical Application Suite

  • 2D Viewer – For viewing US, XR, CT, MR and NM images
  • 3D Viewer – Allows orthogonal or oblique (includes double oblique) analysis using image analysis tools: organ, vessel, bone, and other extraction, vessel analysis with stenosis and plaque (including stent tools), measurements (linear, volume, SUV), and volume rendering. Templates, full editing and flexible displays are at your disposal.
  • 4D Viewer – Visualize your multi-frame in cine.
  • Dynamic Data – Create time-intensity or time-activity curves with ROI tools. Re-binning/re-framing is available.
  • 3D Comparison – Simultaneous display of similar images.
  • 3D Compositor – Fusion up to 5 3D series in the same space.
  • PT-CT Viewer – Specific reading protocol and displays for PET-CT. Includes SUV calculation along with many of the other measurement tools available in Fusion Viewer. Images are registered for reading accuracy.
  • Fusion - Allows blend or overlay fusion of MR, PET, CT, SPECT, and any combination of these. Images are registered and synched for reading accuracy. Includes double-oblique and many analysis tools.
  • Sector MPR – CT and MR is displayed with a virtual transducer to allow either free analysis or centesis simulation. Target areas include heart and upper and lower abdominals.

Advanced Cardiology

Synapse 3D Cardiology Tools: Efficiency in workflow

  • Calcium Scoring – Segmentation of the heart allows calculation of the calcium score based on the Agatston score method with flexible thresholds.
  • MR and CT Cardiac Functional Analysis – Cardiac segmentation and ventricular extraction of the software chamber views, EDV, ESV, EDVI, ESVI, SV, CO, PFR, TPF, CI, EF, myocardial mass, BSA and heart rate. Bulls eyes (both polar map and topographic) allow other calculations such as ventricular radius in ED and ES, regional EF, wall thickness in region, ED and ES, wall thickening and wall thickening ratio, and wall motion. Other measurements (such as right ventricle and atria) are available through manual segmentation methods. In both MR and CT Cardiac Function, the user is able to go directly into Coronary Analysis for further analysis.
  • Coronary Analysis (CT) – Using Fujifilm Image Intelligence, the arteries are automatically segmented and then labeled according to AHA guidelines. Coronary analysis is performed using optimal tools for the plaque and stenosis measurement as well as stent planning analysis, all with comprehensive and intuitive editing tools. If a cardiac coronary angiogram (cath) was performed, the images correlate in synchronization to the CTA images.
  • Cardiac Fusion – Right from Coronary Analysis and using MR or CT Functional Analysis or Rest and/or Stress Nuclear Cardiology studies, the anatomy is fused with function for a complete cardiac picture.

Advanced Radiology

Synapse 3D Advanced Radiology

  • Cerebral Analysis – Displays analysis results of CBV (Cerebral Blood Volume), CBF (Cerebral Blood Flow), MTT (Mean Transient Time), and TTP (Time To Peak) for CT.
  • Vessel Extraction (CT) – Using subtraction technique for CT, brain vessels are extracted to allow visualization and vessel analysis.
  • Lung Analysis – Semi-automatic extraction of lung fields and lung lobes as well as segmentation of lung nodules for analysis. Color mapped display of lung field regions with flexible histograms and thresholds.
  • Liver Analysis – Extraction and display of: Liver region, portal vein, arteries, biliary and tumor/lesions. Each extraction has separate volume calculations as well as hepatectomy simulation by allowing extraction of the vascular territories in the liver.
  • 2D Fat Analysis - For the 2D fat analysis, the area of the subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in one plane (2D) can be calculated. Includes calculation for the area of the subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in one plane, calculation for the perimeter of the surface in one plane, frequency distribution of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, automatic detection of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, report output for fat measuring calculation of the BMI value.
  • 3D Fat Analysis - For the 3D fat analysis, the area of the subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in multiple planes can be calculated. Includes calculation for the area of the subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in one plane, calculation for the perimeter of the surface in one plane, frequency distribution of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, automatic detection of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, report output for fat measuring calculation of the BMI value.
