Syntegra

Multi-modality image registration assists clinicians in more accurate identification of target tumors. Syntegra multi-modality registration software automatically superimposes physiologic data (such as PET) with anatomic data (CT or MR), eliminating the need for clinicians to manually identify and match the information. This real-time exchange of data aids in tumor identification, shortens the radiation therapy planning cycle, and results in more confident diagnoses.

Integration with Pinnacle³

As an integral part of Philips Pinnacle³ radiation therapy treatment planning system, Syntegra helps bridge the gap between diagnosis and treatment. For example—the radiation oncologist can import PET/CT tumor contours into a Pinnacle³ treatment plan and review and use the same displays and regions of interest that have been identified by the radiologist.
