Improved comfort and safety with wide, open and low system design.
The i-Station display provides child-friendly exam instructions and gives operators feedback for breath-holding, ECG, scan parameters and patient ID.
The couch top can be lowered to a minimum height of 312 mm for facilitating patient loading and transfer from a wheelchair or bed.
The spacious 780 mm wide bore and 470 mm wide patient couch allow comfortable scanning for large patients.
Tech Assist Lateral Slide*
Tech Assist Lateral Slide* offers safety and comfort by providing motorized positioning of the patient, reducing the risk of injury to the patient and the technologist.

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 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
11.5mm @ 0.3%, 22.6 mGy for Genesis. 1.5mm@ 0.3%, 21.8 mGy for Prime SP

Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction (SEMAR)
Bilateral Hip Replacement
A pelvic CT was performed for bilateral hip replacement evaluation post-surgery. The coronal view with SEMAR demonstrates drastic metal artifact reduction allowing physicians to confidently evaluate the prosthesis positioning as well as surrounding tissues. A soft tissue mass is seen adjacent to the right lesser trochanter.
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. Enhanced visualization of the vertebral arteries and internal carotids can be seen, saving time and improving diagnostic accuracy.
*Option
PUREVISION Detector Technology
The system’s 80 row 0.5 mm elements balance image quality, speed and patient dose delivering isotropic images in all planes.
