Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: syngo.via MI Workflows, Scenium, and syngo MBF provide PET, SPECT, nuclear-medicine, CT, and MR viewing, manipulation, quantification, longitudinal comparison, and analysis for oncology, cardiology, neurology, organ function, and selected radiation-planning support.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA materials describe verification of the release-specific Auto Lung 3D, V/Q, PET/SPECT masking, Deauville, liver-reference, CT oncology, lung CAD, and related workflow changes. Public family materials support implementation context but not universal performance across modules.
