syngo DynaCT
Siemens was first to introduce soft tissue imaging in the interventional suite as a breakthrough innovation for neuro applications. Continuous development in collaboration with institutions worldwide has made syngo DynaCT available for applications in the entire body. What started as a breakthrough is now a worldwide trend in interventional imaging. As of June 2015, hundreds of institutions around the world have installed syngo DynaCT in their angio suite.
"Our experience with syngo DynaCT is extremely positive. ... It has an incredibly high impact on our daily practice."1

Case Studies
Minimally Invasive Spinal Osteosynthesis
An 88-year-old female patient suffered from lower back pain. She was operated on before due to a traumatic fracture of L5 which required cementoplasty.
Stent Placement across Cerebral Aneurysm
65-year-old male with hypertension and history of myocardial infarction and coronary stenting with incidental left internal carotid artery aneurysm.
Cerebral trauma
Female patient with brain trauma for 3 days, mental imbalance and loss of consciousness.
Protocols and Sequences
syngo DynaCT in multiple phases for HCC
A 69-year-old male with HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) and HCV (Hepatitis C virus)-positive hepatic cirrhosis.
Follow-up after stent-assisted aneurysm coiling
73-year-old female patient. Left middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm that was treated with stent-assisted coil embolization in 2005. Because of her history of contrast allergies, we decided to complete a syngo DynaCT run with IV injection...
syngo DynaCT of the pulmonary arteries
Patient with history of recurrent pulmonary embolism and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Pulmonary angiogram and syngo DynaCT were acquired for diagnostic work-up.
