Siemens syngo.fourSight Workplace brings a new dimension to volume imaging by delivering true stereoscopic views of 3D images for a 3D experience that is more immersive, detailed, and real-to-life than ever before. While conventional 3D ultrasound technologies use two-dimensional monitors for the evaluation of 3D images, syngo.fourSight Workplace uses a specially designed 3D monitor combined with high-end professional graphics solutions to create the most stunning 3D/4D images of the fetus in true 3D. Providing additional information to the physician and assisting in communication with surgeons and patients, this quality improvement may also aid in treatment and surgical planning.

syngo.fourSight Workplace offers busy OB practices, hospitals and imaging centers the flexibility needed to address a broad range of imaging applications. Its comprehensive toolset for volume image manipulation includes Thick Slice Imaging, MultiSlice imaging and various rendering modes, including Amnioscopic Rendering, a Siemens-exclusive technology which provides a user-movable light source to produce photo-realistic 3D images.

Best-in-class Image Quality and Performance for Improved Diagnostic Confidence

Siemens will also be featuring the 2.0 release of the ACUSON S2000™ ultrasound system – Women’s Imaging, which represents the pinnacle of innovative technologies and workflow –enhancing clinical applications to dramatically improve the efficiency and quality of ultrasound exams. Latest acoustic technologies deliver a powerful system optimized for superb 2D, Doppler and 3D/4D imaging for the most demanding requirements in maternal-fetal medicine. The system features Siemens-exclusive knowledge-based workflow applications, such as eSieScan™ workflow protocols, enhancing examination processes and increasing the consistency of exams, while at the same time reducing keystrokes to enable shorter exam times and improve patient throughput.

The ACUSON S2000 system – Women’s Imaging also boasts the unique Skeletal Rendering application. This Siemens-proprietary 3D/4D rendering technique results in true volumetric imaging with accurate spatial resolution for enhanced visualization of the fetal skeleton.

Comprehensive Portfolio for the Clinical Routine

The compact, portable, easy-to-use ACUSON X300™ ultrasound system, premium edition (PE) – Women’s Imaging offers a complete OB/GYN imaging solution for the clinical routine. It delivers exceptional clinical performance in B-mode, color Doppler, PW Doppler, and 3D/4D imaging. With Dynamic TCE™ tissue contrast enhancement technology and TGO™ tissue grayscale optimization technology, the system provides one-button optimization of B-mode images to shorten exam time, reduce repetitive motion, and provide greater consistency between users. fourSight™ 4D imaging technology enables streamlined, intuitive workflow and advanced acquisition, data rendering, and post-processing functionality for trans-abdominal and endovaginal 3D/4D exams.
