Aquilion Lightning
Better care. Safer imaging.
Aquilion Lightning, Canon Medical Systems' 16-row 32 slice* helical CT system for whole-body imaging, employs cutting-edge technologies to optimize patient care and accelerate clinical decision making. Innovative features ensure that high-quality isotropic images are routinely acquired with low patient dose. The workflow is streamlined, increasing patient throughput. And a wide range of advanced 3D and post processing applications provide clinical flexibility.
-Minimum space
Maximum efficiency
With a design also focusing on smaller installation space and power consumption, Aquilion Lightning requires a minimal footprint.
-Low Dose by Design
Canon Medical Systems' dose reducing features AIDR3D Enhanced and SUREExposure 3D are fully integrated into Aquilion Lightning’s workflow.
Features and Benefits:
-Efficient Design for Safety
The Aquilion Lightning gantry features design innovations to improve the scanning experience for patients as well as providing excellent operability and ensuring safety. The spacious 780 mm wide bore and 470 mm wide couch ensure comfortable scanning for even the largest patients.
-Integrated Dose Reduction—That Works
Canon Medical Systems' 4th generation dose reduction, Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction 3D (AIDR 3D) Enhanced, offers superb image quality. AIDR 3D enhanced simplifies dose reduction by adaptively targeting noise in the raw data and image data space. The amount of noise reduction is optimized for the clinical task and personalized for each patient.
Automated technique for better patient care and image quality.
-Integrated and easy to use contrast and radiation dose management
-Automated kV selection based on patient size, SUREExposure settings and clinical task
-Clinically targeted kV selections of: 80, 100, 120, 135
-xyz Modulation integrated optimized workflow to minimize dose. SUREExposure 3D automatically optimizes tube current to acquire the highest quality clinical images possible, with optimal patient exposure.
