The i-Station display provides child-friendly exam instructions and gives operators feedback for breath-holding, ECG, scan parameters and patient ID. | The couch top can be lowered to a minimum height of 312 mm for facilitating patient loading and transfer from a wheelchair or bed. | The spacious 780 mm wide bore and 470 mm wide patient couch allow comfortable scanning for large patients. |
Tech Assist Lateral Slide
Tech Assist Lateral Slide offers safety and comfort by providing motorized positioning of the patient, reducing the risk of injury to the patient and the technologist.
Optimizing the Clinical Workflow
Aquilion Lightning 80 is designed to handle busy workloads with ease. The system’s intuitive user interface guides you step by step through the examination with modern and easy-to-understand graphics and animations. A host of intelligent functions enable a fast and efficient workflow.
HybridView
Save time and storage space with Canon Medical Systems’ hybrid reconstruction algorithms. These advanced reconstruction algorithms provide sharp lung images and excellent soft tissue resolution in the one image. Reading times are shortened as you only need to concentrate on a single series to make a diagnosis.
Zero-click workflows
Protocol integrated applications make complex exams easy with robust and reproducible results.
These include:
These include:
- SURESubtraction CT automated bone subtraction
- Multiview automated MPR and MIP reconstruction
- AIDR 3D enhanced reconstruction
Maximum clinical capabilities
Adaptive Diagnostics
Aquilion Lightning 80 offers Canon Medical Systems’ comprehensive suite of Adaptive Diagnostic imaging solutions that simplify complex protocols and provide consistent quality results.
Automated bone subtraction and/or iodine mapping.
SURESubtraction CT
In CTA examinations Angiography SURESubtraction CT (SCT) has the ability to remove bone, calcium and stents from data sets allowing clinicians an unobstructed view of the arteries.
Moreover, SURESubtraction can create iodine mapping SURESubtraction CT (SCT) to enable the assessment of the distribution of contrast media within the body to visualize local perfusion.
SURESubtraction SCT has protocol integrated automation at every step to empower even a novice operator with the skills to perform brilliantly the first time — every time.
Prior to subtraction, Canon Medical Systems' deformable registration allows pixel matching between the pre-contrast and contrast enhanced data for precise digital subtraction and iodine mapping, saving time and improving diagnostic accuracy.
Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction
SEMAR
Canon Medical Systems' SEMAR (Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction) utilizes a sophisticated iterative reconstruction technique to reduce metallic artifact, improving visualization of implants, supporting bone and the adjacent soft tissues for a clearer and more confident diagnosis. SEMAR can be set in the scan protocol so the reconstructions are fully automatic requiring no additional operator input.
SEMAR Demo
Variable Helical Pitch
3 Phase vHP
Unique Canon Medical Systems scan mode that allows a single helical acquisition with a seamless change of helical pitch. 3 clinically adapted pitch settings can be used within one helical scan.
Canon Medical System's exclusive technology, the vHP variable helical pitch adaptive diagnostic tool will allow scanning of multiple Vascular territories within one breath hold and one contrast injection.
Subtraction CTA
Angiography SureSubtraction SCT for CTA with true subtraction of bone and calcification.
