INSTINX — 3D Landmark Scan

Automatic scan planning with 3D data at doses of 2D Scanogram.

Improve confidence, accuracy and consistency for scan planning with the industry first, 3D Landmark scan.

Perform a low dose helical scan at the same dose level as a 2D Scanogram by leveraging the power of the SilverBeam filter.

3D Landmark scan works in conjunction with Canon’s robust, AI-trained Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) for zero-click scan planning and improved consistency.

  • Improve confidence and consistency for scan planning
  • Dose neutral with SilverBeam1
  • No additional scans needed for bolus tracking and ROI trigger placement—just scroll through images and select the exact location for the ROI placement.2

INSTINX — Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) Automated Scan Planning

AI-trained for reliability and consistency

Take the guesswork out of scan planning, save time and ensure consistent, high-quality results with Canon’s AI-trained Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD).

Enabled by the 3D Landmark scan, ALD has been trained to accurately identify landmarks within each patient to match the anatomical scan range set in the protocol. Improve outcomes and remove variability with the robust power of ALD.

  • 97%2 accuracy in scan range setting with Anatomic Landmark Detection (ALD)
  • More consistent scan planning between technologists3
