Tustin, Ca, Dec. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following the launch of two new CT systems (Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition, Aquilion Serve SP) at last year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual congress, Canon Medical Systems (Headquarters: Otawara-shi, Tochigi, Japan; President and CEO: Toshio Takiguchi) will feature this year at RSNA (North Hall Booth # North Hall, #6713, #7313) enhanced CT technologies for Super Resolution and ultra-low-dose imaging. Canon Medical Systems is thrilled to announce that the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition has been awarded the 2024 Best New Radiology Device at the annual Minnies Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation in radiology. Canon’s unique approach of using Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) technologies redefines how high resolution and low dose can be enhanced using conventional CT. The capabilities of Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) and SilverBeam Filter technologies have been expanded since their shared introduction to allow a wider variety of use and provide even better delineation of anatomical and pathological structures.
Precise IQ Engine
Powered by Altivity (Canon Medical’s AI brand), Precise IQ Engine leverages DLR technology to maximize the scanner’s inherent resolution to reconstruct 1024 matrix CT with excellent low-contrast detectability and no additional dose. Initially launched with a cardiac focus, PIQE Super Resolution is now available for cardiac, body, and lung (pending 510(k)).

SilverBeam Filter
SilverBeam, an X-ray beam shaping energy filter, leverages the photon-attenuating properties of silver to selectively remove low energy photons from a polychromatic X-ray beam, creating an optimized energy spectrum for lung cancer screening. When combined with our Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) Deep Learning Reconstruction technology, SilverBeam delivers the sharpness and clarity required for confident lung imaging at ultra-low dose. We are now expanding SilverBeam across applications such as MSK, including trauma cervical spine scans (pending 510(k)).

“Canon Medical CT continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what is possible for CT imaging. The continued optimization of technologies such as PIQE and SilverBeam highlight our commitment to meeting our customers’ needs by delivering excellent image quality at low dose. We greatly appreciate that Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition continues to be recognized for both its image quality and workflow enhancements,” said Naoki Sugihara, Vice President and General Manager of CT Systems Division at Canon Medical Systems Corporation.
