Canon Medical showcases CT innovation at RSNA 2025

At RSNA 2025, Canon Medical Systems Corporation (President and CEO: Toshio Takiguchi; Headquarters: Otawara City, Tochigi, Japan) will highlight the latest developments in its CT line-up, along with a glimpse into the promising future of Canon CT. Long a world leader in the development of innovative CT solutions, including 320-row Area Detector CT systems (the Aquilion ONE series), an Ultra-High Resolution CT system (Aquilion Precision) and AI-driven Deep Learning Reconstruction technology (Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine, Precise IQ Engine) *, Canon Medical continues to evolve its CT portfolio, taking full advantage of the wide range of advanced imaging and manufacturing technologies of the Canon Group.

The Latest CT Developments Available Now
The award-winning Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition will return to RSNA this year, with exciting enhancements. Namely, CLEAR Motion Cardiac, Canon Medical’s motion correction technology for cardiac CT scans that enables high-quality imaging for even the most challenging patients. This innovative, AI-enabled motion correction* is fully integrated into the scanner reconstruction and can be applied directly to a single phase of the cardiac cycle.
In another development, Precise IQ Engine (PIQE), Canon Medical`s Super Resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction technology designed to fully utilize the maximum resolution of detector, is expanding from the premium Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition down to the multi-slice Aquilion Serve SP system. This will help to ensure that meaningful innovation is accessible across care providers and patients.

A Strong Vision for Next-Generation Photon Counting CT (PCCT) and the Whole-body Multi-Position CT
With a continued focus on addressing today’s global healthcare challenges through Precision Medicine, Canon will exhibit two work-in-progress technologies in a research-focused Innovation section of the booth. For the first time, visitors have a chance to interact with Canon`s Photon Counting CT in person. PCCT is an advanced diagnostic imaging system using a next-generation photon counting detector that captures the energy of individual X-ray photons. Unlike conventional CT, it enables multi-material differentiation and improved quantitative imaging, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Its higher resolution also improves lesion detectability at lower radiation doses. Canon’s approach to PCCT is aimed at overcoming the trade-offs and complexity of current-generation PCCT technologies.
Canon will also feature the multi-position CT, a joint development led by Keio University. Already launched in Japan, this novel system is the first CT which can support scanning in the standing, sitting and supine positions. The system is capable of seamlessly transforming between these positions in under 60 seconds. By scanning in both standing and sitting positions, it becomes possible to detect abnormal lesions that may not be visible in conventional examinations, potentially improving diagnostic evaluation of certain conditions.

Canon CT: Shaping the Future of Diagnostic Imaging
Canon Medical remains committed supporting the on-going education of medical professionals with both online and in-person education through Canon Medical Academy. At RSNA 2025, Canon Medical Academy will host 14 hands-on customer-led workshops, including four CT-specific sessions.

“Canon’s CT continues to expand and advance the possibilities of CT imaging. Our commitment to delivering unique and innovative CT solutions, such as AI-driven reconstruction and workflow automation, PCCT and Multi-Position CT, aligns with our philosophy of accurately understanding clinical, operational, and financial needs and contributing to better healthcare and patient outcomes. We will continue to offer meaningful CT solutions that integrate cutting-edge technologies to drive further advancements in diagnostic imaging,” said Naoki Sugihara, Vice President and General Manager of the CT Systems Division at Canon Medical Systems Corporation.

*Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine, Precise IQ Engine, and CLEAR Motion are not provided with a self-learning function that allows the CT system to modify its own programs. Therefore, training of the Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine, Precise IQ Engine, and CLEAR Motion algorithm are not performed at the end-user’s site.
