Transforming CT
Aquilion ONE / GENESIS Edition goes beyond the evolution of dynamic volume CT. Intensive, clinically focused research and innovative technological developments have culminated in a CT system with 16 cm z-axis coverage at 0.5 mm resolution and reduced radiation dose requirements¹.
Now available on Aquilion ONE / GENESIS Edition, Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) is an innovative approach to CT reconstruction that leverages Deep Learning Neural Networks specifically trained to perform one task—reconstruct images that are sharp, clear, and distinct.
¹When AIDR 3D Enhanced and or FIRST Model-based Iterative Reconstruction are used.
