Achieve PIQE imaging for MRI

Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) is Canon Medical’s high resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction for MRI. PIQE increases matrix size, removes noise, and delivers sharp anatomical images to take MR imaging to the next level.

Denoising k-Space Upsampling Ringing Reduction

PiQE is a Deep Learning based application which allows to generate high spatial resolution images from low resolution images, while maintaining image quality and mitigating ringing artifact.

PIQE:

  • Generates high spatial in-plane resolution images
  • Allows you to triple the matrix dimension in both in-plane directions, i.e., 9x higher
  • Decreases image noise
  • Increases image sharpness
  • Can accelerate scanning by reducing the acquisition matrix and maintain image quality and clinical matrix size

PIQE is 510(k) cleared on 1.5T systems for brain and knee regions. 3.0T systems have additional clearances for body, breast, MSK, neuro, and cardiac regions.

“With the images being clearer and with better SNR, better sharpness, we feel that the radiologists are more comfortable with these images, and have less doubt when they interpret the images”

Take the PIQE Challenge

See if you can find the images
acquired in a shorter scan time.

MR history has taught us that higher resolution requires more scan time. With Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) high-resolution imaging does not always mean longer scan times.
