Clinical Applications
Synapse 3D applications are developed in collaboration with radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and other specialists to produce relevant clinical solutions that lead to exceptional patient care. Each multifaceted application is adeptly coded to quickly and accurately deliver imaging results that trigger confident healthcare decisions by changing the way healthcare providers see images.
- The software uses award-winning*1 *2 Image Intelligence™ algorithms in the processing engines to yield confident results.
- Peer-reviewed research has shown that patient safety, surgical confidence,*3 and surgical effectiveness*4 were all improved when using Synapse 3D.
- There is a common UI, in which tools shared between analysis applications have the same appearance and function for consistency and ease of use.
- Application linking creates additional efficiencies by allowing you to access up to five applications without exiting the others.
