syngo Fly Through
syngo Fly Through is a Virtual CT Endoscopy Software
integrated into the syngo 3D functionality. It offers the
possibility to render endoluminal views of structures
such as the airways and vessels from volume data sets.
Virtual CT Endoscopy simulates diagnostic conven-
tional endoscopic procedures e.g., bronchoscopy and
colonoscopy, that are usually uncomfortable and more
invasive to the patient.
Key Features
• Add-on advanced 3D functionality (Fly icon) inte-
grated in the existing, familiar 3D card.
• One-click access to perspective endoscopic render-
ing at a point of interest.
• Both Shaded Surface Display (SSD) and Volume Ren-
dering Technique (VRT) can be used.
• Volume Rendering Technique (VRT) presets can be
stored in the VRT gallery and linked to specific exam-
ination protocol or series description.
• Endoscopic viewing parameters e.g., the viewing
angle, depth and the viewing distance from the
endoscope can be defined and linked to a data set.
• Manual or Automatic endoscopic navigation.
• Fly path planning creates and saves a flight path in
the volume data set. This offers the possibility to play
back an endoscopic evaluation and to create a series
of endoscopic snapshots that can be saved on the
database.
