Fast scanning techniques like Compressed SPEEDER and Fast 3D mode are essential to increase throughput but can be at the expense of SNR. Canon’s AI boosted Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) solves that challenge by removing noise from images and increasing SNR1.
1 AiCE provides higher SNR compared to typical low pass filters.
Compressed SPEEDER1 is a unique approach which maintains excellent imaging performance while enabling high-speed imaging at up to four times current scan speeds by combining with 2D scans, or while enabling high resolution imaging by combining with 3D scans.
1 Compressed SPEEDER is covered by the following U.S. Patent number: 7,646,924.
Compressed SPEEDER for 3D imaging
Compressed SPEEDER for 2D imaging
Actual scan time reductions vary by case.
Fast 3D mode reduces scan times up to 50%2 for different contrast weighted images while maintaining homogeneity and fat suppression.
2 As compared to standard sequence.

Actual scan time reductions vary by case.
Reducing scan time improves the patient experience and increases throughput. With intelligent technology that advances our rapid scan technology, Vantage Galan 3T delivers productivity that goes beyond expectations.
MultiBand SPEEDER acquires multiple slices simultaneously, which enables reduced scan times. DWI scans in particular can be acquired in about half the time compared to previous sequences.
Actual scan time reductions vary by case.
k-t SPEEDER provides up to 8x acceleration, enabling you to acquire high temporal resolution cardiac cine. The high acceleration factor can also reduce breath hold times so your patients can be scanned more comfortably.
The technology based on FSE2D achieves consistent fat suppression and homogeneity while acquiring four different tissue contrasts in one scan, reducing the total number of scans you need to acquire.
With the complexity of scan planning, achieving scan plane reproducibility can be a challenge. Auto Scan Assist provides automatic slice alignment for cardiac, knee, neuro and spine taking away the variability and helping to improve and standardize the workflow with automatic positioning.
Auto Scan Assist is available for the following applications:
CardioLine+ can then automatically detect 14 different standard views of the heart for quick workflow.
ForeSee View is an essential scan planning tool designed to allow you to preview your slice planning in real time. This tool is particularly useful in anatomies that can be difficult to plan such as the pancreas, the heart, and certain orthopedic joints, reducing the need for re-scanning and saving time on scan planning for all body regions.
ForeSee View’s excellent new feature reduces the need for re-scanning and saves time on scan planning for all body regions.
The desired cross section is displayed in real time in conjunction with the positioning operation.
With an Intelligent Monitor and Dockable Table, Vantage Galan 3T delivers productivity and efficiency to your daily routine.
The Dockable Table enhances workflow and provides easy patient handling allowing medical staff to respond to any patient requirement quickly and easily.
The intelligent gantry interface has been completely re-designed to enhance workflow and save set-up time, displaying important patient related and coil information, and allowing you to ensure a proper and complete setup without leaving the patient's side.
Every inch on Vantage Galan 3T has been considered for efficient use of space while minimizing energy consumption. The system’s zero boil-off magnet can often fit into the same space as a 1.5T system, while simultaneously providing a comfortable, open environment for your patients.
Vantage Galan 3T’s power-saving ECO Mode is automatically triggered when you lower the patient couch to help you minimize your running costs. At only 70 kVA1 Vantage Galan 3T has one of the lowest rated power requirement in its class.
1 For Saturn X Gradient, 90 kVA is required
Small size, big performance. The system’s short and compact bore minimizes patient anxiety and at the same time allows a 3T scanner to be installed in a room originally designed to hold a 1.5T system. The eco-friendly cabinet design simplifies and shortens installation time.
