Deep Learning Innovation

Computed Tomography

CT scanners designed for patient's safety and satisfaction with technology that meets your needs now and in the future.

Advanced technologies and ergonomics are standard on every configuration. So state-of-the-art capabilities are readily available or scanning the widest range of patients—from pediatric to bariatric. Industry-leading, automated dose reduction capabilities improve patient safety and increase your quality of care.

Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE)

Sharp, clear and distinct images. At low dose.

Harnessing the enormous computational power of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) is trained to differentiate signal from noise, so that the algorithm can suppress noise while enhancing signal. Because it is trained with advanced MBIR, it exhibits high spatial resolution. But unlike MBIR, AiCE DLR overcomes the challenges (image appearance and/or reconstruction speed) in clinical adoption.

A better balance between image quality and dose.

^PUREViSION Optics*

^PUREViSION Optics provides significantly improved imaging efficiency from photon generation to detection. An optimized beam spectrum combined with a more efficient detector result in a better balance between image quality and dose.

^PUREViSION Optics

Patient specific beam shaping filters provide an optimized X-ray spectrum and more homogenous distribution, improving low contrast detectability by up to:

22% improved LCD at equivalent dose—brain*
18% improved LCD at equivalent dose—body*
31% dose reduction at equivalent low contrast detectability*

*A non-prewhitening model observer study was conducted comparing Aquilion ONE GENESIS Edition to the Aquilion ONE. Dose reduction values were established by comparing low contrast detectability under baseline conditions for abdominal and brain examination. Based on the detectability index performance metric, a measure of signal to noise that takes into account the magnitude and texture of both the signal and the noise for a given LCD task.
