Sustracción ósea automática y/o mapeo de iodo.

⁠⁠^SURESubtraction™

En los exámenes de CTA, ^SURESubtraction  tiene la capacidad de eliminar huesos, calcio y stents de los conjuntos de datos, lo que permite a los médicos una visión sin obstrucciones de las arterias. 
Asimismo, ^SURESubtraction puede crear mapas de iodo que posibilitan la evaluación de la distribución de medios de contraste dentro del cuerpo para visualizar la perfusión local. 

^SURESubtraction cuenta con protocolos automáticos integrados en cada paso que permiten que incluso el un operador novato tenga la habilidad para desempeñarse de manera brillante la primera vez y siempre. 

Antes de la sustracción, el registro de Canon Medical Systems permite la coincidencia de píxeles entre los datos mejorados de contraste previo y contraste para la sustracción digital precisa y el mapeo de iodo, ahorrando tiempo y mejorando la precisión del diagnóstico.

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.

Variable Helical Pitch

⁠vHP

Has the ability to automatically change an ECG-gated to a non-ECG-gated acquisition, reducing IV contrast and radiation dose.

Changing table speeds within the same exam saves time, dose and cost. The video example demonstrates how combining ECG and non ECG gated scans into one single scan makes excellent use of contrast media while reducing dose.

⁠^SUREFluoro

By fully automating CT fluoroscopy, ^SUREFluoro™ improves exam accuracy and accelerates patient throughput when performing interventional procedures.

Automated Interventional CT Guidance:

12 fps with three slice display
One shot mode
MPR volumetric needle positioning
Target image display for easy measurements
Automatic table movement to target location

Helical Prospective with arrhythmia detection

⁠^SURECardio Prospective with arrhythmia detection

With Aquilion PRIME's ^SURECardio Prospective Adaptive diagnostic scan mode, the system will begin the acquisition prospectively, and if an arrhythmia is detected, it will automatically switch to a continuous mode in order to ensure a diagnostic exam. A unique application that dramatically lowers patient dose during coronary CTA exams using a helical acquisition technique to provide one continuous image instead of multiple images.

Clinical Proof Case Studies

Case Study 1
Coronary CTA, Three Vessel Disease

Male patient with strong family history of coronary artery disease. Coronary CTA was performed and images reconstructed with AIDR+ (Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction). 3D Volume Rendered and curved Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) images demonstrate calcification in the left main coronary artery and right coronary artery (RCA). Calcified and non-calcified plaques are seen in the mid left anterior descending (LAD) and non-calcified plaque in the circumflex artery (CX).

Clinical Proof Case Studies

Case Study 2
Abdominal CTA, Aortic Aneurysm

85-year-old male, Abdominal and Pelvic CTA for the assessment of endovascular stent-graft placement. 3D Volume Rendered, Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and axial images demonstrate the aneurysm extension from renal to iliac arteries. It also shows several calcified plaques in the aortic and iliac wall.
