Canon Medical Systems Debuts New CT Systems at RSNA Conference
The Aquilion ONE/Insight Edition and Aquilion Serve SP computed tomography (CT) systems reportedly offer enhanced deep learning reconstruction and intuitive workflow efficiencies.
Combining imaging advances with the promise of innovative workflow efficiencies, Canon Medical Systems is showcasing the new computed tomography (CT) systems Aquilion ONE/Insight Edition and Aquilion Serve SP this week at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference this week in Chicago.
For the Aquilion ONE/Insight Edition, the company says key benefits include enhanced image resolution with deep learning reconstruction technology, the capability to perform full-body scans in seconds and a compact, air-cooled design that can be accommodated in standard CT rooms. The system’s INSTINX automation also allows for a 40 percent reduction in workflow steps, according to Canon Medical Systems.
In addition to deep learning reconstruction capabilities, the Aquilion Serve SP system enables scanning of multiple areas with one breath hold and one injection. Canon Medical Systems adds that the device’s Anatomic Landmark Detection offers a 97 percent accuracy in scan range planning.
“With … the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition and Aquilion Serve SP, we are simplifying and streamlining CT workflow, making the scan experience for more efficient for patients and operators alike,” noted Naoki Sugihara, a vice president and general manager of the CT Systems Division at Canon Medical Systems.
Canon Medical Systems noted that both CT systems are pending 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Meta-Analysis Shows Merits of AI with CTA Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis and Calcified Plaque
April 16th 2025Artificial intelligence demonstrated higher AUC, sensitivity, and specificity than radiologists for detecting coronary artery stenosis > 50 percent on computed tomography angiography (CTA), according to a new 17-study meta-analysis.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
April 15th 2025Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
Can CT-Based AI Radiomics Enhance Prediction of Recurrence-Free Survival for Non-Metastatic ccRCC?
April 14th 2025In comparison to a model based on clinicopathological risk factors, a CT radiomics-based machine learning model offered greater than a 10 percent higher AUC for predicting five-year recurrence-free survival in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Could Lymph Node Distribution Patterns on CT Improve Staging for Colon Cancer?
April 11th 2025For patients with microsatellite instability-high colon cancer, distribution-based clinical lymph node staging (dCN) with computed tomography (CT) offered nearly double the accuracy rate of clinical lymph node staging in a recent study.
