Advanced machine and Deep Learning innovation
Using the latest deep convolutional neural networks and machine learning innovations, you can now access the diagnostic information you need to put your patients on the path to a more tailored treatment approach.
Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE)
Harness the incredible power of AiCE
Canon’s Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine is an innovative Deep Learning Reconstruction technology that’s been trained to reduce noise and boost signal to deliver sharp, clear and distinct images at speed. AiCE is a robust AI technology that can be applied to all body regions and a wide range of CT scan protocols and MR sequences. AiCE is available for all CT and MR segments.
AI-based deep learning reconstruction for PET-CT
Canon Medical’s deep learning reconstruction (DLR) technology development for medical imaging, Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), is now available for PET.
AiCE on the Cartesion Prime aims to help clinicians achieve PET images with improved image quality under a wide variety of imaging conditions.
AiCE yields superior performance by better differentiating signal from noise and generating consistent high-quality images.
AiCE for PET features
To aid in fast and confident clinical results, compared to Gaussian filtering, AiCE DLR can provide superior performance in:
- Image quality
45% improved SNR1 - Quantification accuracy
82.9% improvement in contrast at the same noise level1 - Count dependency
75% reduction in counts while preserving SNR2 - Preservation of quantification
AiCE did not change overall quantification of images compared to OSEM reconstruction
1 as compared to OSEM + Gaussian Post Filtering
2 as compared to OSEM + Gaussian Post Filtering at 100% counts or without scan duration reduction
* Based on bench test results (10 mm sphere)
Precise IQ Engine (PIQE)
PIQE is a Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) algorithm developed by Canon that helps deliver clear, sharp and distinct images for both CT and MR.
In MR, PIQE images are obtained with the same scan time as conventional scans and can capture structures more sharply than AiCE whilst maintaining SNR.
In CT, PIQE images provide increased spatial resolution and excellent low contrast detectability to deliver sharper anatomical detail for better delineation of small anatomical structures, and sharper borders between structures.

3rd Harmonic Imaging
AI-enabled innovation for more detail and depth
3rd Harmonic Imaging (3-HI) is a technology that utilizes the frequency components of the ultrasound beam at three times the transmitted frequency.
Developmentally, to extract the 3rd harmonic components from the huge quantity of received signals, an AI filter for 3rd harmonic was designed using deep learning that allows the effective extraction and utilization of the 3rd harmonic signal.
Using the 3rd harmonic sharpens the received beam, reduces multiple reflections and sidelobes, and achieves B-mode images with less noise in the vessel lumen and clearer tissue structures around the vessel.
