Deep Learning Reconstruction

See through the noise

The Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), an innovative approach to CT reconstruction, uses Deep Learning to distinguish true signal from noise to deliver sharp, clear and distinct images at speed. Trained using vast amounts of high-quality image data, AiCE provides enhanced anatomical resolution across the whole body1 including brain, lung, cardiac and musculoskeletal systems.

AiCE

AiCE deep learning reconstruction images feature:

  • Our best low-contrast resolution, ever1,3
  • Dose neutral industry-leading ultra-high resolution2
  • Improved low-contrast detectability, noise and spatial resolution relative to hybrid iterative reconstruction
  • Image noise texture more similar to FBP compared to MBIR reconstruction3
  • Fast reconstruction
  • Easy workflow

SUREPosition

Helps reduce rescans in time critical situations.

  • Accurately center and position the patient by scan plan GUI
    • Up-Down
    • Left-Right (option with Tech Assist Lateral Slide)*
  • Provides the ability to always perform iso-center scanning for best IQ, without re-centering and re-scanning the patient
  • System generates new (virtual) scanogram—never repeat scanogram

*Option

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.
