Once on the table, perfect positioning—no push, no pull.
Helps reduce rescans in time critical situations.
SUREPosition
- Accurately center and position the patient by scan plan GUI
- Up-Down
- Left-Right (option with Tech Assist Lateral Slide)*
- Provides the ability to always perform iso-center scanning for best IQ, without re-centering and re-scanning the patient
- System generates new (virtual) scanogram—never repeat scanogram
*Option
Automated & Personalized Scans
Protocol selection
After patient registration Aquilion selects the correct adult or child protocols automatically.
Dose check
Aquilion helps ensure that the radiation dose limit you defined cannot be exceeded to avoid unintended high dose levels.
SUREExposure 3D
This fully integrated automatic exposure control ensures optimum image quality and patient dose.
Real-time imaging
The system provides real-time imaging during the scan allowing you to monitor the result instantaneously—a valuable tool for saving scan time.
Contrast Management
By allowing contrast protocols to be added to your exam plan, flow rate and volume are automatically based on actual patient weight and exam type, while the injection is synchronized with the scan.
Automated kV selection
To further save iodine volume, SUREkV automatically uses the lowest kV setting for CTA examinations.
Enables multiple specialized studies within a single scan.
vHP 3-Phase (vHP3)*
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.
Automated technique for kV selection.
SUREkV
- Integrated and easy to use radiation dose management
- Automated kV selection based on patient size, SUREExposure settings and clinical task
- Clinically targeted kV selections of
80, 100, 120, 135
Aortic CTA acquired with vHP, Heart Rate of 86 bpm, 40 ml of iodinated contrast material, SUREkV (100 kV automatically selected).
Zero-click & Consistent Results
SURESubtraction*
SURESubtraction has the ability to remove bone and calcium from data sets while allowing clinicians to view tumors or arteries at risk. Currently available for brain, carotid, ortho and lung exams.
Using Canon Medical Systems' fully automated non-rigid registration algorithm, bone, calcium and stent subtraction can be accomplished using a low dose unenhanced scan prior to contrast delivery. Superior visualization of the vertebral arteries and internal carotids can be seen, saving time and improving diagnostic confidence.
*Optimization of contrast usage is only recommended within the dosing ranges that appear in approved iodinated contrast drug labeling.
Computed Tomography Clinical Applications
CT Deep Learning Spectral*
A fully integrated end-to-end spectral workflow
Harnesses the temporal benefits of rapid kV switching with patient specific mA modulation and combines them with a Deep Learning reconstruction that delivers excellent energy separation and low-noise properties.
What’s more, its fully integrated end-to-end workflow is easy to use and can be conveniently incorporated into your routine protocols.
