This patient underwent a CT scan for simulation. Gold Fiducial markers are seen in the prostate.
SEMAR reduces the artifact caused by the markers.

A CT simulation scan of the chest and abdomen was performed with free breathing. AiCE reconstructions demonstrate low noise, improved image texture for improved lesion detection.

Respiratory Gated Chest

Aquilion Exceed LB

A respiratory gated scan of the chest was performed for CT simulation. Accurate contouring of the esophagus and surrounding structures can be performed easily with AiCE.

Respiratory Gated Chest – Small Lesion

Aquilion Exceed LB

A respiratory gated scan of the chest was performed in this patient with a small lung lesion. The wide 90 cm gantry bore was easily able to accommodate the patient’s position to gain access to this small lesion.

RT Neck

Aquilion Exceed LB

A scan of the neck was performed with the patient in the treatment position and reconstructed with AiCE and SEMAR. SEMAR reduces the artifacts from the dental fillings

Liver SBRT

Aquilion Exceed LB

This abdomen scan was performed for stereotactic body radiotherapy treatment (SBRT) planning of the liver tumor and abdominal mass.
Liver SBRT simulation require high quality images and multiphasic CT for visualization of the tumor extent in the liver.
In this case AiCE reconstruction allows clear delineation of the tumor in all scan phases.

Respiratory Gated Chest

Aquilion Exceed LB

A small tumor is seen in this respiratory gated scan of the chest reconstructed with AiCE. The scan is performed while the patient is breathing in a natural rhythm. Reconstructions are made at multiple respiratory phases in order to help the physician define the range of motion of the tumor and surrounding anatomy.
