Computer
syngo speaking user interface.
syngo is the common software platform for all imaging modalities. Enhanced productivity with minimized user interactions per operation step. Based on a powerful Pentium 4 / approx. 3 GHz Panoramic Recon Image Processor reconstructing up to 8694 images per second (256 x 256, 25% recFoV) in combination with a Pentium 4 based Host Computer with two CPU's / approx. 3 GHz and 4 GB RAM capacity.

Cost Effective Siting

    33 m2 floor space only, similar to a 1.5T system
    No computer room required
    Just two electronic cabinets (water-cooled) that can conveniently be placed against the wall
