Introducing the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition
February 28th, 2024
Canon Medical Systems launched the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition at RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) 2023, held in Chicago, USA, in December. The all-new premium CT scanner is built with INSTINX workflow and the latest Deep Learning Reconstruction technology. The scanner simplifies complicated scans, elevates those that are more routine and is easy to operate regardless of level of experience or how specialized the scan. With the INSIGHT Edition, Canon has streamlined the system design and workflow experience to enable fast, safe, and efficient CT exams while keeping the needs of the patients top of mind.
“With the launch of the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition, Canon continues to expand and strengthen the capabilities of its premium CT,” remarked Roy Verlaan, European Director CT at Canon Medical Systems Europe. With first installations in two top European healthcare facilities - the University of Strasbourg, France, and the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in the UK – the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition represents a major innovation in medical imaging with a focus on improving healthcare outcomes and operational excellence, he continued.

Exceptional performance
The Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition's all-new imaging chain features the CoolNovus X-ray tube and PUREINSIGHT detector, designed to withstand the extreme forces generated during ultrafast 0.24 second gantry rotations.
The Canon CoolNovus X-ray tube is designed for precise operation at a force of 50 g combined with outstanding heat dissipation and longer tube life while the PUREINSIGHT detector reduces electronic noise which adds to better image quality.

''The Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition delivers exceptional image quality thanks to cuttingedge deep learning reconstruction technology.''
The combination of Deep Learning Reconstruction and low kV acquisition (70 kV) and high mA (1400 mA) makes it possible to minimize the amount of contrast media injected in vascular imaging.
INSTINX
In addition, the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition features INSTINX, Canon’s holistic workflow solution designed to enhance every aspect of imaging – from referral to diagnosis- creates new standards in efficiency and consistency. It is driven by a host of Canon’s most advanced technologies and innovations and employs automation whenever possible to make operation easier, faster and more consistent with a 40% reduction in workflow steps.
Its 80 cm diameter, uniquely flared gantry, enhances patient comfort while two built-in cameras simplify patient positioning where AI-based anatomical detection executes automatic scan planning, making every scan accessible to operators of all levels. And with the new, easy to learn, intuitive CT interface, training time can be significantly reduced.
Super Resolution
After the successful introduction of Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) is the next step in Deep Learning Reconstruction bringing together extraordinary spatial resolution and reduced noise. PIQE shows sharper anatomical details in 1024 image matrix for better delineation of small anatomical structures for a more accurate diagnosis of complex pathologies, particularly in cardiology, oncology or pediatric imaging.
