Innovate. Illuminate. Initiate.
The Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition's 16 cm wide area detector significantly improves your ability to obtain high-quality images for routine and advanced studies. With just one rotation, you can acquire an entire heart or a neonatal chest, in a fraction of a second—all with less dose and great z-axis temporal uniformity.
117 BPM Coronary Analysis, PIQE Super Resolution2
Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition
ONE rotation is all it takes to image the whole heart in as little as 0.275 seconds1 for this patient with a high heart rate of 117 BPM during a CT Coronary evaluation. Combine the power of fast rotation and wide area coverage with AI-trained Super Resolution2 Cardiac CT with Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) Deep Learning reconstruction for sharper anatomical detail, reduced calcium blooming with no dose penalty.

Stent with Chest Pain, Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) Super Resolution*
Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition
PIQE provides increased spatial resolution for clear visualization of the vessel lumen for improved assessment of in stent re-stenosis. In this clinical example, PIQE enabled confident evaluation of the vessel lumen in the presence of calcified and non-calcified plaques and stents.2
