User Guide
The Synapse® Mobility software is a medical image viewer that enables professionals — such as radiologists, physicians and other imaging experts — to view and analyze medical images and reports from anywhere using a remote connection, either over the internet or using the hospital's network.
The software features an easy-to-use search interface, collaboration, and advanced visualization functionality such as:
- 2D viewing
- Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) including slabbing up to 50 mm
- Multi Planar Reformatting (MPR) for axial, sagittal and coronal views
- 3D volume rendering
Each view mode enables various interactions with images, data and reports, including split view, linked scrolling, cine, pan and zoom, measurements, and more.
The solution has a client/server architecture. The centralized server hosts the main service application, which is responsible for all data processing and image rendering. The service application acquires images from a connected PACS or medical image archive, and loads these images into memory. The server and the data can reside on-premise within the institution’s network, or in the cloud.
You interact with the server-based application using an HTML5 client, a web-based user interface that runs in your browser. The HTML5 client is optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers, and supports touchscreen interactions.
Depending on the deployment model, some search and viewing functionality may not be available. The two possible deployment models are as follows:
- standalone application, with full search and viewing functionality
- software launched from a third-party application (such as an EMR or RIS); in this model, search and viewing functionality depends on configuration
Certain features are currently only accessible on devices with a mouse and keyboard.
This guide describes the functionality of this client in detail, and outlines some considerations when first getting started.
