Siemens Healthcare has launched syngo.share, a unified, patient-centric clinical image sharing system that empowers hospitals to efficiently manage and share clinical imaging data, including many non-DICOM formats, across multiple specialties such as radiology, endoscopy, pathology and dermatology.

syngo.share provides convenient access to imaging data in one location, connecting departmental archives, even across multiple locations, thus supporting the entire clinical care pathway of the patient, Siemens Healthcare said.

syngo.share also supports cross vendor connectivity so the user can work with installed archiving solutions and protect their investment.

The system features a modular and scalable architecture that allows customers to pick from departmental and enterprise-wide, up to regional sharing deployments, providing an IHE-XDS and XDS-I compliant repository.

Its multimedia archive capabilities support data formats including JPEG, avi or PDF, extending existing Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) such as syngo.plaza.
