Tustin, CA, Friday, 14 March 2025.
Canon Medical Systems’ AI advancements in CT scanning technology, like the Precise IQ Engine and SilverBeam Filter, receive regulatory clearance to enhance diagnostic accuracy and imaging quality.
Breakthrough in Medical Imaging Technology
Canon Medical Systems has achieved a significant milestone with regulatory clearance for major AI enhancements to their Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition CT scanner, announced on March 13, 2025 [1][2]. The advancements center on two key technologies: the Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) with its 1024 matrix capability and the innovative SilverBeam Filter, both designed to elevate diagnostic precision without increasing radiation exposure to patients [1].
Award-Winning Innovation
The system’s excellence has already garnered industry recognition, with the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition receiving the prestigious 2024 Best New Radiology Device award from the Minnies Awards [1]. The PIQE technology leverages Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) to achieve high-resolution 1024 matrix CT imaging while maintaining current dose levels [2]. This represents a significant advancement in medical imaging technology, where radiation dose optimization remains a critical concern [GPT].
Enhanced Clinical Applications
The SilverBeam Filter technology demonstrates particular promise in lung cancer screening applications, utilizing silver’s unique photon-attenuating properties to enhance image quality [2]. Canon Medical is expanding this technology’s application to include musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging, broadening its clinical utility [1]. These developments align with Canon Medical’s mission to support healthcare professionals in improving patient outcomes worldwide [2].
