a comprehensive viewing-, demonstration-, distribution- and conferencing system for cardiac
x-ray imaging, angiography and other monochromatic medical imaging
SyncroView offers a flexible, customizable and versatile
communications platform for x-ray, other monochrimatic
medical imaging or imaging modalities with dynamic
sequences. Initially co-designed with some of Scandinavia’s
most forefront cardiologists and radiologists to ensure and
secure easy-to-use, simple and fast distribution and access
to dynamic series and single images at the desktop of
your office.
With SyncroView most dynamic sequences with variable
frame rate (ranging from 0-50/60 fps) or single images can
be viewed in monochromatic colorscaling. Image data can
be distributed over your existing IP-based network allowing
two or more users to interact, share and preview the exact
same information at the exact same time (synchronized
viewing) for details dialoging and judgements in common
or complicated medical situations.
With SynchroView image data from the imaging modality
can be mirrored on one or more remote SynchroView
workstations. Data transfer and reference communications
is silently and transparently carried out in the background.
In ‘sync mode’ the workstations are running fully
synchronized when viewing sequences or single images.
Data communication during viewing in a conference
session is limited to simple sync-pulses allowing real time
synchronized display on all connected workstations.
SynchroView is designed for multi-user conferencing. The
system allows full flexibility as all connected workstations
have the same functionality and thus can all act as
‘master’ or ‘slave’ in the on-going session. Cursors and
annotations are viewed simultaneously on all connected
workstations.

Thanks to the rigid and high performing image engine
within SynchroView all data transferred inside the system is
uncompressed with a preserved, very high resolution. This
ensures a high quality input able to single out and
generate the detail level needed with X-ray inspection.
SynchroView’s designed to work with virtually any digital or
analog format image source on the market. Single images
or dynamic image sequences can be captured from any
standard or non-standard video signal or digital version of
the DICOM-format. Also pre-recorded images material (from
hard drive, CDs, DVDs or other storage media) can be
acquired and imported into the system for viewing and
conferencing.

series of x-ray images from a angiography patient.
The intuitive SynchroView user interface (GUI is Windowsstyle
standard, see pict. 2) makes the operation of the
system very easy, even for untrained personal. The
learning curve for getting started with the application as
well as and reaching expert usage level is very flat and
attainable for most medically trained staff members.
As an add-on option any SynchroView-station can be
equipped with a network-based camera solution (with pan-,
tilt- and zoom-functions) to allow eye-to-eye contact
between all users participating in a conferencing session.
The eye-to-eye image is superimposed in the main user
interface and present att will only.
SynchroView is fully DICOM (version 3 and 4) compliant
and can interoperate directly with most imaging modalities
currently on the market. When the system setup is facing
an analog source the system automatically converts the
input to DICOM-formatted data and can then function as a
‘PACS-bridge’ storing data in the general clinic or hospital
PACS storage.
SynchroView is currently compatible (tested and used) with
a large number of RIS (Radiology Imaging Systems)
setups and PACS storage solutions through it’s
comprehensive DICOM-compliance.
The video streaming mode allows real time transmission of
images or dynamic sequences over any IP-based network
of sufficient capacity (typically ethernet LAN, broadband
connections, xDSL or ATM). An examination can be
followed live in real time over virtually unlimited distances
allowing conferencing and assistance through remote
‘second opinion’ expert input.
SynchroView has a built in, high performance CD- and
DVD-writer unit for export to, or production of, DICOMcompliant
CDs and DVDs.
Each SynchroView workstation is equipped with a local,
high performance, short term, storage solution (up to 200
examinations including dynamic image sequences). The
local storage solution facilitates fast and easy access to
the most recent data for viewing and conferencing
purposes. For a long term archiving solution an additional,
remote database driven storage solution is available when
or if a central PACS-installation is not present.
Apart from the main application area for SynchroView
(being X-ray imaging with a focus on dynamic imaging
sequences) other applicable areas are (but not limited to)
- Nuclear Medicine
- Ultrasound
- Dynamic multi planar imaging
- Single image viewing

- Synchronized cursors in conferencing mode
- Monochromatic and full color compliance
- Background non-compressed data transfers
- Analog as well as digital video sources
- Full DICOM 3 compliance
- DICOM Worklist compatible
- Open standard RIS compliance
- Local and remote video streaming
- Local, short term, storage
- Remote, long term, archiving
- CD- and DVD-writer incl. viewer
- Eye-to-eye conferencing features inapplication
