Siemens Healthineers has announced a partnership with TeamViewer related to the launch of its new WeScan remote diagnostic imaging service.
Designed to help healthcare providers perform MRI exams if they lack qualified radiology staff, WeScan connects institutions to a remote pool of imaging technologists who help operate the MRI scanner using Siemens' syngo Virtual Cockpit remote scanning software, the companies said. TeamViewer's remote connectivity technology was incorporated into the WeScan service to support the on-demand scanning process from outside a customer's network, according to the vendors.
