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 to help clinicians achieve PET images with improved image quality under a wide variety of imaging conditions.

AiCE yields superior performance by better differentiating signal from noise and generating consistent high-quality images.

AiCE for PET Features:

Image Quality
45% improved SNR¹
Quantification Accuracy
82.9% improvement in contrast at the same noise level¹
Count Dependency
75% reduction in counts while preserving SNR²
Preservation of Quantification
AiCE did not change overall quantification of images compared to OSEM reconstruction

¹ as compared to OSEM + Gaussian Post Filtering
² as compared to OSEM + Gaussian Post Filtering at 100% counts or without scan duration reduction
* Based on bench test results (10 mm sphere)
