Performance Specifications
Specifications:
- TOF resolution at 238 ps (typical)
- New Improved Peak NECR > 200 kcps
TOF improves count localization, noise correlation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast recovery and effective sensitivity, especially for larger patients.
The clinical results described are the experience of the authors. results may vary due to clinical setting, patient presentation and other factors.
AI based Deep Learning Reconstruction
Reduce scan times.2
Improve SNR.
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, PET, and MR. And now, the second generation of AiCE for PET, AiCE-integrated (AiCE-i), offers three pre-trained DCNN with different levels of smoothing to meet different user preferences.
AiCE-i yields excellent performance by improving image quality and denoising PET images.
AiCE-i for PET Performance:
- 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-i did not change overall quantification of images compared to OSEM reconstruction1
1 As compared to OSEM + Gaussian Post Filtering.
2 These claims are based on the results of phantom testing (10mm sphere) comparing Noise and contrast (NEMA-NU2 2018) with OSEM+Gaussian denoise method (4 iter, 12 sub, 6 mm GF, PSF ON) at full counts (240 sec), demonstrating that AiCE-i for PET achieved reduced counts (scan duration) while preserving noise and yielding higher contrast. This device should not be used to deviate from the approved dosing, administration and scan duration instructions; see PET drug prescribing information for additional information.

AiCE-i for PET Clinical Examples
Deep Deviceless Data-Driven Respiratory Gating
- Automated motion management for PET
- Hardware set up for Respiratory gated acquisition has been eliminated
- Respiratory motion is calculated from internal motion
Motion-corrected PET images can be used to aid clinicians in detection, localization, evaluation, diagnosis, staging, restaging, and follow-up of disease.

Navigation is about looking at the paths laid out in front of you and choosing the one that gets you where you want to be. This means having options. Consistent with our Made for Life philosophy—solutions made to improve the lives of patients, clinicians and administrators—Canon Medical is proud to offer a new path to Digital TOF PET-CT that helps you navigate to your future.
Cost-effective Solution
By leveraging the Cartesion Prime SP's robust technological advancements, we have successfully moved digital PET-CT from water-cooling to an air-cooled approach.
A chiller (water cooling equipment) can add additional costs to the initial system purchase as well as construction costs to build the needed infrastructure. Additional operational costs are often associated with using a chiller along with potential impact to revenue when a chiller fails.
Cartesion Prime SP air-cooling approach alleviates many costs, risks, and complexities associated with water coolers.
