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

Every heart, Covered
Cardiovascular disease is on the rise. In fact, one person dies every 33 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease.* With CT positioned as a first-line diagnostic tool addressing the evolving needs of cardiac imaging, your ability to deliver high quality, consistent CT studies is critical to outcomes. Your patients deserve the best technology available, and so do you. Canon Medical—the creator of one-beat cardiac CT—delivers.

Variable Helical Pitch with three phases (vHP3)*
Enables multiple specialized studies within a single scan.
vHP 3-Phase* allows three scans to be performed in a single acquisition, seamlessly transitioning between scan parameters optimized for each body region. vHP 3-Phase* has potential for less contrast media1 and lower radiation dose by providing the flexibility to seamlessly transition:
- Between ECG Gating on and off during a cardiac scan
- Between dose and image quality during a CAP scan
- Between fast and detailed pitch during a trauma scan
*Option, Available on Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition, Aquilion ONE / Prism Edition, Aquilion ONE / GENESIS Edition, Aquilion Serve SP and Aquilion Prime SP
1Optimization of contrast usage is only recommended within the dosing ranges that appear in approved iodinated contrast drug labeling.
SilverBeam
Details of a CT at the dose on the order of an x-ray exam
SilverBeam combined with Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) DLR enabling ultra low dose lung cancer screening CTs with doses on the order of a chest x-ray examination.
SilverBeam, a beam shaping energy filter, leverages the photo-attenuating properties of silver to selectively remove low energy photons from a polychromatic x-ray beam leaving an energy spectrum optimized for lung cancer screening.
Effective Dose 0.3 mSv

Deep Learning Spectral*
World's first Spectral Deep Learning reconstruction
16 cm1 Wide-Area
Spectral CT
An extensive suite of
Spectral analysis applications2
Full Spectral Transformation
The advantage of Deep Learning Spectral reconstruction is it's ability to transform multi-energy raw data sets into two full high and low energy separated sinograms. This provides excellent energy separation for Spectral analysis with the high resolution and low noise properties you would expect from a routine diagnostic CT exam.
*Option
