CT Data Web-Based Client Server System

A web-based client-server system provides real-time access to computed tomography (CT) data in the office, home, and elsewhere, thereby increasing productivity and workflow.

The syngo WebSpace, a client-server computed tomography (CT) workplace system, developed by Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany), was presented at the Stanford Radiology 8th Annual International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT, held in San Francisco (CA ,USA) in June 2006.

WebSpace turns office personal computers (PC) and laptops into CT workplaces, providing real-time access to CT data at a physician's office and home, and even on the road through a simple network connection. Medical professionals can connect to the server in a matter of seconds and work with a patient's CT scans anytime and anywhere, improving productivity and diagnosis capabilities.

Conventionally, large volume thin-slice data have been stored for days on the CT scanner and time is lost when retrieving them from some picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). This system enables storage for hundreds of thin-slice data cases and large thin-slice data sets (up to 5,000 slices) that are immediately available for two-dimensional (2D), 3D, and 4D interactive reading using Siemens syngo InSpace 4D software. All rendering takes place on the server, providing users with advanced processing speed. Ideally suited for short-term storage of thin-slice CT data, the system gives users rapid access to thin-slice data, while freeing up the CT scanner database.

"Facilities employing advanced CT technology have a high demand for workplace solutions that enable fast and easy evaluation of thin-slice data sets, particularly in the U.S.,” said Scott Goodwin, vice president, CT Division, Siemens Medical Solutions.
syngo WebSpace facilitates from five to 20 concurrent sessions, depending on the server configuration, from any number of users throughout the hospital network and via secure access from remote locations. Medical facilities can access multiple servers to further expand the possible number of concurrent sessions. This provides a very cost-effective system for fast image distribution and high availability, and routine clinical post-processing.
