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 breadth of applications, however, have been increasing concerns over patient safety due to radiation exposure.
Canon Medical Systems has always shared these concerns and has been actively involved in introducing automated, easy CT dose-saving tools for decades based on the ALARA principle. This principle states that only the minimum amount of radiation necessary to accomplish the diagnostic task at hand should be used in order to keep patient risk As Low As Reasonably Possible (ALARA).
Following Canon Medical Systems' long standing philosophy for minimizing dose, while maintaining clinical workflow. FIRST can fit seamlessly into daily clinical practice.
*Optional on the Aquilion ONE ViSION Edition onlyAIDR 3D has been developed as the next step in the evolution of noise reduction technology. This iterative algorithm removes noise in the raw and image data space, by analyzing and processing the data repeatedly.
Making CT imaging safer for pediatric patients by lowering radiation dose and sedation.
Programs are offered at our Educational Center, at your place of business and online. Through the Canon Medical Systems Learning Center (CLC) portal you can access a wealth of resources for both online and instructor-led courses.
All of Canon Medical Systems' new Aquilion™ CT systems meet the XR-29 requirements, and upgrade options are available for most existing systems.
