Better care using whole organ dynamic CT protocols.

Functional Imaging

16 cm of dynamic volume coverage allowing the acquisition of anatomical and functional data within the same acquisition and with whole organ coverage.

Adaptive Diagnostics

Helps eliminate variability in scanning with the industry's best solutions.

Lowering CT dose and improving workflow are not choices that clinicians should have to make, so Canon Medical Systems CT is putting customers first by providing the industry's best solutions to solve these challenges. To make complex exams easier, lower dose and improve diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility, Canon Medical Systems is introducing its Adaptive Diagnostics CT technology.

Technologies

⁠⁠SURESubtraction™

SURESubtraction™ has the ability to remove bone and calcium from data sets while allowing clinicians to view tumors or arteries at risk. Currently available for brain, carotid, ortho and lung exams.

Using Canon Medical Systems' fully automated non-rigid registration algorithm, bone, calcium and stent subtraction can be accomplished using a low dose unenhanced scan prior to contrast delivery. Superior visualization of the vertebral arteries and internal carotids can be seen, saving time and improving diagnostic accuracy.

⁠Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction

SEMAR

Canon Medical Systems SEMAR (Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction) utilizes a sophisticated iterative reconstruction technique to reduce metallic artifact, improving visualization of implants, supporting bone and the adjacent soft tissues for a clearer and more confident diagnosis. SEMAR can be set in the scan protocol so the reconstructions are fully automatic requiring no additional operator input.

⁠Assess the whole body in one scan

Variable Helical Pitch with three phases (vHP3)

Overall faster scan times make vHP3 compliant to the needs of the patient, and shorten exam times for trauma imaging when every second is critical.
A single series reconstruction enables several studies to be interpreted simultaneously for faster reading.

  • May decrease radiation dose to the patient
  • May decrease the amount of IV contrast needed
  • May improve the workflow for complex clinical exams

⁠Dual Energy

Dual Energy uses two energies during one CT scan, providing clinicians with more data to help quantify and characterize anatomy and lesions. As a result, exam times and radiation dose are both reduced.

Volume Dual Energy

Taking advantage of the wide detector array of Aquillion ONE, 2 rotations are acquired at low and high kV, mA is automatically adjusted to maintain similar noise characteristics. Projections are matched with orbital synchronization and no table movement is required.

Volumetric CT with arrhythmia detection

⁠SURECardio™

The ability to acquire volumetric cardiac CTA within one heartbeat with no table movement required. If an arrhythmia or abnormal heartbeat is detected Aquilion ONE ViSION can automatically adjust the scan and acquire the next normal heartbeat.

SURE Cardio™

⁠Acute Stroke and Neuro

One exam with 50 cc's of contrast and 5 mSv of dose will acquire whole brain perfusion as well as a dynamic CTA with automatic bone subtraction. Entire study can be acquired in 60 seconds and with Vitrea's automatic processing, provides perfusion maps and CT DSA information ready to review in 4.5 minutes from anywhere in your network.
