MI View&GO

MI View&GO VA20A is an advanced medical image management and processing software designed to enhance clinical workflows by enabling comprehensive review, post-processing, and analysis of PET, SPECT, CT, and MR images directly at the scanner console. It achieves this through a suite of integrated tools and new features like 'Auto Lung 3D' and 'Interactive Spectral Imaging Plugin' to support diagnosis, disease management, and radiotherapy planning.

MI View&GO VA20A is a software-only medical device intended for use with Siemens SPECT/CT and PET/CT scanners, providing capabilities for handling PET, SPECT, CT, and MR data directly at the acquisition console. Its purpose is to enable technologists and reading physicians to review acquired images, determine data quality, prepare images for reading, and perform basic reads immediately after acquisition. The system supports viewing, manipulation, quantification, analysis, and comparison of medical images across one or more time-points, aiding trained healthcare professionals in the management of diseases related to oncology, cardiology, neurology, and organ function, as well as assisting in radiotherapy treatment planning. The VA20A version introduces several modifications and new features, including 'Auto Lung 3D', 'Gaussian Filter', 'FAST Ranges Enhancements', 'Automatic Layout Enhancements', and 'Open Apps'. It also incorporates shared software component tools like 'Tools Export Tool', 'TimeCurve', and 'Segmentation Tools', along with CT plugins such as 'Oncology Extension Plugin', 'Interactive Spectral Imaging Plugin', and 'Sim&GO Plugin'. Further enhancements include layout and user interface improvements like 4D support in all layouts, dual monitor widescreen layouts for satellite consoles, gated data display, customizable image text, and updated default windowing. These features are built upon the technological characteristics of its predicate devices, MI View&GO VA10A and syngo.via MI Workflows VB60A, without altering the fundamental technology.
