Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Microsoft

Application

Azure AI Bot ServiceApplication

Integrated development environment for building conversational bots, integrating with Microsoft Copilot Studio for low-code bot building.

Microsoft 365 CopilotApplication

AI assistant embedded in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams that grounds its answers in a customer's own business data and ships with pre-built agents.

Microsoft CopilotApplication

Microsoft's assistant for chat, search and work inside Windows and the Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft Security CopilotApplication

Security-operations assistant that summarises threat signals and helps analysts detect, investigate and respond to incidents in natural language.

Siemens Healthineers

Application

AI-Rad CompanionApplication

Multi-modality imaging decision support that pre-reads CT and MR studies — highlighting findings and taking measurements automatically — delivered as extensions on the teamplay digital health platform.

Deep ResolveApplication

Deep-learning MR image reconstruction software that denoises and super-resolves acquisitions to accelerate MRI scans while maintaining or increasing resolution.

EclipseApplication

Varian's radiotherapy treatment-planning system, covering photon, proton, electron and brachytherapy dose calculation. Its AI Contouring is embedded rather than bolted on: deep-learning structure delineation that generates contours from CT and MRI for over 200 anatomical structures, including organs-at-risk, lymph nodes and brain metastases, built on RTOG, ESTRO and DAHANCA guidelines. The v18.1 release that carries AI Contouring is CE marked with its 510(k) pending, and is not sold in the US or in all markets.

EthosApplication

Varian's adaptive radiotherapy system, marketed as an Adaptive Intelligence solution: AI segmentation contours the day's anatomy and AI planning re-optimises the treatment while the patient is on the couch, so the plan follows the tumour rather than the plan made weeks earlier.

Optiq AIApplication

AI imaging chain for Artis angiography systems that applies deep-learning noise reduction to live fluoroscopy and DSA in real time, delivering higher-quality low-dose images during image-guided procedures.

RapidPlan Knowledge-Based PlanningApplication

Knowledge-based treatment planning inside Eclipse: models learned from a clinic's own prior plans estimate the achievable dose-volume histogram for a new patient, so a planner benchmarks against past practice instead of starting from scratch. Pre-loaded DVH estimation models from named institutions ship with it.

myExam CompanionApplication

AI-guided scanner operating interface that turns clinical questions into optimized acquisition and reconstruction parameters, with an AI-powered Autosuite (AutoAlign, AutoBolus Detection, AutoLabeling) across CT, MR, radiography and SPECT/CT systems.

syngo.CT Coronary CockpitApplication

AI-based software for coronary CT angiography that automatically segments and labels the coronary tree and quantifies plaque types to support coronary artery disease management and PCI planning.

No counterpart

Microsoft sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Siemens Healthineers yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
