Siemens Software version syngo CT 2005C manual Syngo Fly Through, Key Features

syngo Fly Through

syngo Fly Through is a Virtual CT Endoscopy Software integrated into the syngo 3D functionality. It offers the possibility to render endoluminal views of structures such as the airways and vessels from volume data sets.

Virtual CT Endoscopy simulates diagnostic conven- tional endoscopic procedures e.g., bronchoscopy and colonoscopy, that are usually uncomfortable and more invasive to the patient.

Key Features

•Add-on advanced 3D functionality (Fly icon) inte- grated in the existing, familiar 3D card.

•One-click access to perspective endoscopic render- ing at a point of interest.

•Both Shaded Surface Display (SSD) and Volume Ren- dering Technique (VRT) can be used.

•Volume Rendering Technique (VRT) presets can be stored in the VRT gallery and linked to specific exam- ination protocol or series description.

•Endoscopic viewing parameters e.g., the viewing angle, depth and the viewing distance from the endoscope can be defined and linked to a data set.

•Manual or Automatic endoscopic navigation.

•Fly path planning creates and saves a flight path in the volume data set. This offers the possibility to play back an endoscopic evaluation and to create a series of endoscopic snapshots that can be saved on the database.
