syngo Colonography with PEV (Polyp Enhanced Viewing) software is the first FDA 510(k) cleared and commercially available enhanced colon viewing technology.
PEV is the latest addition to Siemens’ portfolio of computer enhancement tools. An optional add-on to the syngo Colonography application, PEV is designed as a second-reader tool for automated identification of lesions in the colon. It allows the radiologist to make a computer-assisted ‘second pass’ over the patient data, thus attempting to increase detection accuracy and reduce reading times.
