Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) is Canon Medical’s high resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction for MRI. PIQE increases matrix size, removes noise, and delivers sharp anatomical images to take MR imaging to the next level.
Integration of broad technologies and Deep Learning Reconstruction boosts imaging capability
AiCE intelligently removes noise from images which results in higher SNR and enables increased resolution, as well as faster scan time when used in combination with unique accelerated scan applications.
Achieving quick and high SNR images is now possible with Canon’s intelligent new technologies
AiCE combines with rapid scanning to boost productivity In combination with unique Canon scan acceleration technologies like Compressed SPEEDER, you have the ability to focus on faster scans and restore SNR by removing noise during image.
AiCE is applicable to a broad range of anatomies, contrast and applications, providing higher levels of imaging in every situation
All Contrast × Almost all Sequences × Any Parameter × All Body regions × All RF coils
Minimizing image artifacts to enhance diagnostic capability
Exsper
Exsper is a robust parallel imaging technique that provides accelerated scans. Designed to suppress unfolding errors even in small FOV images, delivering exceptional imaging performance with its highly reliable and fast scanning technology. Exsper can be combined efficiently with other applications such as AiCE.
IMC is a motion correction technology for reducing motion artifacts caused by sporadic movements. Powered by Altivity, IMC utilizes Deep Learning based methods for motion correction in addition to traditional model-based correction.
RDC DWI (Reverse encoding Distortion Correction DWI) is intended to reduce distortion in phase encoding direction due to B0 field inhomogeneity, or eddy current, in DWI sequence.
Quantifiable MRI imaging to enhance diagnostic capability
Quantitative imaging techniques provide a wide range of options for referring physicians and staff. New techniques like MR Elastography and Fat Fraction Quantification (FFQ) for liver staging and quantification and contrast free Arterial Spin Labeling increase the imaging tools available for imaging various disease sets that were previously handled in other imaging modalities.
MR Elastography (MRE)
MRE is the only MRI technology that has been validated for staging liver fibrosis. The role of MRE has been increasingly recognized in multidisciplinary clinical guidelines for noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment, particularly in suspected cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Imaging is rapidly becoming the standard for fat quantification. Canon’s fat imaging and quantification can simultaneously, in a single breath held exam, provide quantitative maps of the liver to measure proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2*.
Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MRI provides non-invasive methods to measure tissue perfusion without the use of external contrast agents. pCASL utilizes a fast spin echo (FSE) readout which makes it less sensitive to susceptibility artifacts and provides better image quality than other solutions.
