Deep Intelligence
The Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition is packed with advanced innovations, including AI-assisted technologies, to increase your clinical confidence and optimize your workflow.
New User Experience
The Aquilion One / PRISM Edition’s new user interface incorporates automated features in support of optimal productivity. From automatic scan planning to automatically plan all routine scans including scan ranges and dose and exposure settings, using the unique 3D Landmark Scan and the AI-enabled Anatomical Landmark Detection technology.
3D Landmark Scan
Take the guesswork out of the scan planning with the axial image preview provided by the 3D Landmark Scan, an ultra-low dose helical scan using SilverBeam Filter that replaces traditional scout views.

Automatic Scan Planning
The scan planning step in INSTINX is performed using a human avatar encoded with anatomical start and end positions for all routine exams. These same landmarks are identified in the patient's 3D Landmark Scan data using AI-assisted Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) technology to provide highly accurate and fully automatic scan planning.
Anatomical Landmark Detection
The ALD algorithm was trained on 3D Landmark Scans for all relevant anatomy and not only helps to save operator time but also helps to promote more consistent scan planning.
Precise IQ Engine (PIQE)
Super resolution insights
PIQE images show sharper anatomical detail for better delineation of small anatomical structures for a more definitive diagnosis. The 1024 matrix allows images to be enlarged up to four times the size of a 512 image, without a loss of resolution.
✓ Sharp anatomical detail
✓ No additional dose
✓ Less noise
✓ Low contrast detectability
✓ Reduced calcium blooming
✓ Cardiac isophasic uniformity

“What I am most impressed with PIQE is its image quality. It has incredible sharpness and detail. The amount of blooming artifact from calcified plaques is minimized with PIQE reconstruction.”

SilverBeam Filter
SilverBeam Filter capitalizes on the physical properties of silver to optimally filter low-energy X-rays, providing the penetration needed for larger patients or when scanning the shoulder region, while preserving low-contrast detectability. When combined with Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), SilverBeam delivers high-quality chest CT at lung cancer screening dose or improves image quality in cervical spine scans.

Deep Learning Spectral
A fully integrated end-to-end spectral workflow
The Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition harnesses the temporal benefits of rapid kV switching with patient specific mA modulation and combines them with a Deep Learning Reconstruction that delivers excellent energy separation and low-noise properties.
Images can be delivered directly to your reading station, and with our range of new Vitrea™ applications, you can easily analyze comprehensive spectral data, including quantification and multi-layered images for a more detailed and definitive diagnosis.
A single rotation is all it takes
The Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition’s 16 cm wide area detector significantly improves your ability to obtain high-quality images consistently across patients. With just one rotation, you can acquire an entire heart, in a fraction of a second, with less dose and great z-axis uniformity.
Neuro CT
When time is brain, every second counts
Canon Medical’s comprehensive stroke evaluation platform performs whole brain perfusion imaging and 4D digital subtraction angiography of the intracranial circulation in just one minute. Plus, with advanced 4D brain perfusion software, you can now evaluate flow and perfusion defects in under five minutes.
Interventional CT
Simple and streamlined CT Fluoroscopy
Conduct faster, more focused interventional procedures with a new hybrid CT Fluoroscopy interface that enables one-handed operation with ergonomically designed controls and a versatile touchscreen tablet.
Workflow efficiencies
Easier and safer for everyone
We’ve improved the entire scan experience – for both patients and staff – with smart technology that does most of the heavy lifting for you.
Quick and convenient access
The shorter flared gantry lets you treat any patient from the front or rear of the tunnel.
Designed to fit most clinical environments
At 19 m2, Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition is one of the smallest, most space-efficient Spectral CT systems in the market.
Scalable IT
Tailor it to your business
Our IT solutions are dynamic and scalable enough to meet a whole range of needs – whether you’re a smaller clinic or a well-established enterprise. Simply pick and choose the configurations that work for you, and even open the up to remote users, so you’re never confined to a single setting.
