STOCKHOLM, Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The data generated from a unique single sequence on the Siemens Healthineers MRI system and SyMRI software provide quantitative MRI, tissue specific parametric maps (R1, T1, R2, T2 and PD), multiple contrast-weighted images and tissue volumes. This supports a faster scan time while providing more information to the clinician.

The SyMRI NEURO package is the first on the market to include measurements and segmentation of myelin-correlated volumes. Quantification of myelin may be useful to monitor patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis and dementia. This biomarker could also be of value in the developing pediatric brain or in psychological disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, and schizophrenia. 

"Siemens Healthineers can now also offer SyMRI as a part of the syngo.via platform in the clinical practice to the US market," says Isabelle Hachette, Global Account Manager at SyntheticMR AB. "We strive to support a faster workflow and provide objective decision support to radiologists, and we are now able to work towards this goal together with Siemens Healthineers syngo.via team in the US market."

"Through our partnership with SyntheticMR, we are further transforming syngo.via into an independent advanced visualization platform," says Oliver Klinkow, CRM Manager at Syngo.
