Reed said: “The global exchange of data and ideas could transform research endeavours for those with limited resources, encouraging collaboration and perhaps even facilitating the set-up and management of international multicentre studies. Siemens already provides access to a set of prototypes in the fields of cardiovascular and Dual Energy CT, ready to be added to by Siemens and contributions from external partners in the future. The Prototype Store allows users to easily manage prototypes and trigger new prototype installations. The new syngo.via Frontier enables hospitals or research facilities to create their own prototype software, which can be made available to other clinics for their ongoing research. This enables researchers to easily send and retrieve data for inclusion in research.” Rather than operating on a standalone basis, syngo.via Frontier is integrated with the clinical syngo.via server meaning research prototypes can be accessed by any syngo.via user in the facility. “Traditional research software is often installed on a computer away from the everyday reading location. “Research in medical imaging is important, whether that is evaluating new scan protocols, monitoring for treatment success, or testing and analysing new advanced imaging software,” said Ben Reed, syngo business manager for the UK and Ireland at Siemens Healthcare.

It can also be used for the development and testing of MR prototypes. This paves the way for hospitals and research facilities in the UK to evaluate a greater number of new CT techniques and contribute to international scientific discussion. The advanced software solution provides direct access to new research prototypes, delivers the means for individual prototype development, and enables users to obtain access to an international online community and share experiences with fellow researchers. Siemens Healthcare has launched syngo.via Frontier, a new innovation in CT clinical imaging research. Syngo.via Frontier provides direct access to new research prototypes, delivers the means for individual prototype development, and enables users to obtain access to an international online community
