Description
In April 2018, Canon Medical announced the US FDA clearance of Aquilion Precision, the world’s first Ultra-High Resolution CT system capable of resolving anatomy as small as 150 microns, providing CT image quality with resolution typically seen only in cath labs.
The system can resolve anatomy as small as 150 microns and is designed to provide more than twice the resolution, typically seen only in cath labs. Containing an all-new detector as well as tube, gantry and reconstruction technologies, the system may make it possible to help expand visualization of disease thanks to new features that offer improved image detail.
The UHR detector is newly designed to provide twice the resolution when compared with today’s CT technology, with an all-new detector as well as tube, gantry and reconstruction technologies.
The Aquilion Precision CT system features dose efficiency with detector channels that are only 0.25 mm thick. This, combined with substantial improvements in scintillator quantum efficiency, detector circuitry and other DAS components, results in a dose-efficient detector with ultra-high resolution capabilities. The system features resolution never before seen in CT imaging with the industry’s smallest Focal Spot Tube at 0.4 mm x 0.5 mm and the industry’s first routine 1024 x 1024 Reconstruction Matrix.
In March 2019, Johns Hopkins Medicine was the first in U.S. to install Aquilion Precision.
In 2019, Nancy University Hospital was the first hospital in France to use the Aquilion Precision scanner.
