New Cardiac CT Solution Powered by Artificial Intelligence

An innovative cardiac computerized tomography (CT) solution enables consistent, high-quality studies by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI).

The Canon Medical Systems (Tochigi, Japan) Aquilion One Genesis SP system enhances the Canon suite of collaborative imaging tools, providing a complete, integrated solution to aid medical practitioners address cardiovascular disease at every stage in the process, from evaluation to treatment, offering a wide range of features for complete cardiac care, including a range of innovative CT technologies:
• Improved diagnostic confidence across patients with one-beat, whole-heart acquisition and advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR), which enables clinicians to obtain sharp, clear and distinct images.
• Automated tools from acquisition through analysis such as SURECardio and Vitrea advanced visualization, which can help clinicians manage their new increase in patient volume, and also deliver proven consistency in high image quality.
• Variable Helical Pitch with three phases (vHP3), which allows three scans to be performed in a single acquisition, seamlessly transitioning between scan parameters optimized for each body region.
• Lower total cost of ownership with a small footprint that can fit into most existing CT rooms, unique scalability to fit varying technology needs, and power save mode improvements that enable the Aquilion One Genesis / SP to require less cost to operate.
• Patient-centric enhancements that help improve safety, comfort and access, including a wide bore (78 cm) and a wide (47 cm) and low (33 cm) couch.
