The Cartesion Prime SP Digital TOF PET Detector

Chart The Right Clinical Course

Combining years of product development with the latest digital PET innovations, we've created a system that delivers exceptional image quality at high speed with accurate quantification and low dose.

SiPM Photosensors

The use of SiPM photosensors has inspired new design choices that can impact image quality, scan times, and dose efficiencies, which all lead to better patient care. Because there are many ways to design a PET detector with SiPM, the ability of a PET detector to maximize this impact goes beyond just including SiPM. Canon Medical has designed the new Cartesion Prime SP Digital TOF PET-CT detector to leverage the potential of SiPM photosensors while taking full advantage of the design of the entire PET detector from coverage to cooling.

AI based Deep Learning Reconstruction

Reduce Scan Times,
Improve Signal to Noise

Canon Medical is on the forefront of Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) development for medical imaging, as evident by the successful release of Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) for CT and MR. And now, AiCE for PET is available on Cartesion Prime SP to help clinicians achieve PET images with improved image quality under a wide variety of imaging conditions.

AiCE yields superior performance by improving image quality and denoising PET images.

AiCE for PET Features:

  • Image Quality
    Improved SNR1
  • Quantification Accuracy
    Improvement in contrast at the same noise level1
  • Count Dependency
    Reduction in counts while preserving SNR2
  • Preservation of Quantification
    AiCE did not change overall quantification of images compared to OSEM reconstruction1

Keep Patient and Operator Care on Track

By putting both the patient and the operator at the center of every design decision, a better experience can be achieved with faster, more comfortable scans and a more streamlined workflow.

A Patient-centric Design

The Cartesion Prime SP PET-CT is designed to address many aspects of the patient experience that focuses on comfort during the scan process.

The scanner includes a wide 78 cm bore with a flared gantry design, as well as a wide patient couch that creates a more open and comfortable environment. With a low minimum scanner bed height patients will be able to more easily and safely navigate getting on and off the scanner bed when assistance is needed.

A Patient-centric Design

An Operator-centric Design

Cumulative radiation risks and throughput issues are among the challenges that operators face when performing imaging procedures.

Cartesion Prime SP incorporates a variety of functions based on technologies that were developed for the high-end Aquilion Prime SP CT scanner to significantly help reduce exposure dose to the operator.

Guide Your Business With Confidence

The Cartesion Prime SP offers the ability to site a Digital TOF PET-CT in smaller rooms and with air cooling technology. Both of these design choices can help alleviate some of the challenges found with other digital PET designs that require larger spaces and water cooling to run the scanner.

With a small, lightweight system that optimizes scan times and streamlines your workflow, you'll have everything you need to boost efficiency across every aspect of your business.
