May 9, 2007- Siemens will introduce, at the the 28th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Heart Rhythm Society, syngo DynaCT Cardiac, which enables 3-D imaging reportedly comparable to CT in the EP lab during procedures, and which is said to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities by enabling electrophysiologists to visualize the left atrium in 3-D during complex cardiac procedures, eliminating the need for pre-procedural CT or MRI exams.
During an interventional procedure in which CT scans are required, moving the patient out of the sterile environment and onto a CT scanner can be cumbersome and pose risk of complications. syngo DynaCT Cardiac enables CT-like imaging to be performed directly in the EP lab without loss of time or added risk to the patient.
