 – Physicians in a Medanta heart
catheter lab use a Siemens Artis
Zee angiography system to assess
the condition of a patient’s blood
vessels.
 – All five of Medanta’s cardiac
catheterization laboratories are
equipped with Siemens technology.
Our syngo.via software enables

Within a few short years, Dr. Naresh Trehan
has made his vision of creating “the best
hospital between Berlin and Tokyo” a reality.
One of the reasons why Dr. Namrata Gaur
is so enthusiastic about working at
Medanta is its state-of-the-art technology:
“I can access all of a patient’s electronic
health records from virtually any computer
at the hospital, even during an operation.
And that facilitates and accelerates deci-
sion-making – for the benefit of my pa-
tients.” Software from Siemens enables all
patient data, including images such as
X-rays and angiograms, to be stored on a
single platform – for all departments at the
hospital.
Siemens technology makes
work easier
What’s more, the imaging data in the elec-
tronic health records is supplied by Siemens
systems. When it comes to CT, MRI and PET
scanners as well as X-ray and ultrasound
systems, Medanta relies primarily on high-
quality products from Siemens. The com-
mitted heart surgeon knows how impor-
tant that is: “In medical school and during
my specialist residency program, I often
used Siemens systems. They provide pre-
cise results and are both user-friendly and
extremely reliable. Now I use them to
monitor my work as I operate. Is the heart
valve or bypass working, or is there leak-
age? With a Siemens cardiac sonogram,
I can see immediately and take corrective
action if necessary.” However, technology
from Siemens not only promotes positive
patient outcomes. “Thanks to the best
equipment and digital networks,” states
hospital head Dr. Naresh Trehan with
conviction, “we work very productively,
our doctors have more time for their
patients, and we can still deliver healthcare
at affordable prices.” PAGE 
