Canon Medical’s Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition continues to redefine the capabilities of a premium CT by integrating AI technology on a wide-area (16-cm) CT platform to maximize conventional and spectral CT capabilities to assist physicians in making more informed decisions across the patient care cycle. The system features several game changing technologies such as Precise IQ Engine (PIQE), Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (Ace), SilverBeam and INSTINX.
Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) is Deep Learning AI Technology that makes images sharper to show finer details for better delineation of small anatomical structures for a more definitive diagnosis. The 1024 matrix allows images to be enlarged up to four times the size of a 512 image, without a loss of resolution. Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) combined with the SilverBeam Filter technology delivers high-quality chest CT at lung cancer screening dose to minimize the dosage to screening candidates. With AI-assisted workflow support from the new INSTINX platform with features such as automatic scan planning and anatomical landmark detection, the new system makes high-quality scanning easier and more efficient than ever before.
