Consistent Commitment to Dose Reduction
Enhancing Efficiency through Autonomous CT
The ability to rapidly deliver high-resolution images has made CT a core imaging modality across healthcare today. Corresponding with its greater use and growing applications, brings heightened concerns over patient safety due to radiation exposure.
Sharing these concerns, Canon brings innovative and intelligent technologies supporting automation and dose-saving to achieve the minimum amount of radiation necessary to accomplish the diagnostic task at hand to keep patient risk As Low As Reasonably Possible (ALARA).
Enhancing Efficiency through Autonomous CT
INSTINX*, AI-Assisted Workflow Automation.
- Intuitive operation and intelligent automated workflows
- Simple and accurate scan planning
- Consistency between operators regardless of their experience
* Depending on system configuration.
1 Based on a study performed at Hakujyuji Hospital, Japan with 40 cases, 10 technologists comparing manual scan planning on Aquilion ONE with automatic scan planning on Serve for body examinations.
2 Based on an ALD evaluation of 240 3D Landmark scans (40 Head, 200 Body) 3D landmark scan data. Cases in which the relevant anatomic landmark(s) were not present (9) were excluded. 97% accuracy is based on results within +/- 1 cm of target start, end, and FOV position, confirmed by two experienced CT Technologists.
3 SURESubtraction Iodine Mapping and Bone Removal.
AI-Trained Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR)
Fully integrated, AI-trained, DLR that enhances clinical confidence and maximizes the potential of your CT system, image quality and dose reduction.
* Option
1 PIQE is designed to fully utilize the maximum resolution of the detector.
2 Requires New User Experience.
SilverBeam* Filter
Ultra-low dose scanning.
The beam shaping energy filter leverages the photon-attenuating properties of silver to selectively remove low-energy photons from a polychromatic X-ray beam, leaving an optimized energy spectrum.
* Not all options/features may be available across all systems/configurations.
1 Depending on system configuration.

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
1 Optimization of contrast usage is only recommended within the dosing ranges that appear in approved iodinated contrast drug labeling.
