At a Glance
One of the Most Energy-Efficient Systems in its Class
The system uses only 35.33 kWh in off mode, reducing overall CO2 emissions. By complying with energy efficiency standards like IEC 60601-1-9, ErP, REACH, and RoHS, it ensures minimal environmental impact. Additionally, the transition from USB options to e-licensing reduces material usage, transportation, and disposal loads, further contributing to sustainability.
- Standby power after clinical hours
Gantry and couch motors, generator main circuit, operating panel monitor, console monitor power turned off - Saves space with the smallest footprint in its class. Minimum Footprint: 14.8m²
- Space-saving features such as in-built cameras and rounded design contribute to easy installation and allow use in most standard CT rooms.
- Leverages AI and automation to create an efficient and eco-friendly workflow. It reduces workflow steps by 40% and scan planning time by 24%*1.
- Parts recycling rate at time of disposal: 84% (based on metal usage rate) for systems for global use
- Packaging is eco-friendly, using 79% wood, 15% cardboard, and only 6% plastic. We are also reducing packaging materials for CT Gantry covers by 30.4%*2.
| Any certification for energy efficiency of the product, proof of compliance with COCIR regulations complies with IEC 60601-1-9 “Environmental product design for medical equipment”, ErP, REACH, and RoHS. |
- Based on study performed at Hakujyuji Hospital, Japan, with 40 cases, 10 technologists comparing manual scan planning on GENESIS Edition with automatic scan planning on Serve for body examinations.
- Internal comparison to previous packaging.
Our Sustainable Solutions
Energy
Significant Energy Savings
Scanning just became more sustainable than ever before.
Saving power outside clinical hours
Gantry/couch, generator main circuit, CPU, and monitor power turned OFF when not in use.
If the console is turned OFF with the power supply mode set to the synchronized-switching mode, the power of the detector is automatically turned OFF.
Energy saving scanning
More energy-efficient scanning through PUREVISION Detector, Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), SUREExposure 3D, Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction (AIDR 3D).
Reduced running costs
Reduce running costs with 5.0MHU tube while still providing high-quality images with less noise, thanks to noise reduction technologies such as AiCE* and AIDR 3D.
- Option
Weight/Space
Real Resource Savings
Aquilion Serve saves space with the smallest footprint in its class. Its compact and space saving dimensions contribute to easy installation without large construction with a wide bore 80 cm, flared gantry, delivering comfortable exams for patients and easy to access to patients from the front or rear of the gantry.
Built-in positioning cameras
Space-saving features such as in-built cameras and rounded design contribute to easy installation and allow use in most standard CT rooms.

Innovative hardware solutions designed for sustainability
Compact look despite wide bore
In its segment, only Aquilion Serve has an 80-cm wide bore.
Its round face design maintains a compact look, in spite of the bore size. The overall sleek and efficient design has been awarded both a Good Design Award and an iF Award.
Optimizing hardware
The size of the keyboard and control panel has been optimized, which saves space for other peripheral equipment while providing the 27-inch monitor for easy viewing.
Aquilion Serve has two software touch panels, whereas previously patient positioning was carried out with buttons only.
Workflow Solutions that Enhance Efficiency and Boost Productivity
The INSTINX workflow experience incorporates intuitive design and automated features for improved efficiency. AI-enabled solutions such as Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) support fast and consistent scan planning, while 3D Landmark Scan assists with scan range setting.
INSTINX- A patient-centric end-to-end CT workflow
- Based on a study performed at Hakujyuji Hospital, Japan with 40 cases, 10 technologists comparing manual scan planning on Aquilion ONE with automatic scan planning on Aquilion Serve for body examinations.
- Based on an ALD evaluation of 240 3D Landmark scans (40 Head, 200 Body). Cases in which the relevant anatomic landmark(s) were not present (9) were excluded. 97% accuracy is based on results within +/- 1cm of target start, end, and FOV position, confirmed by two experienced CT Technologists.
Recycling
Recycled materials and minimized waste
Aquilion Serve is designed with circularity in mind, using 85% recyclable materials and achieving an 84% recycling rate at disposal. Key recyclable components include iron, aluminum, lead, and FRP batteries. The system complies with global environmental regulations, such as RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, to avoid hazardous substances. Additionally, efforts are made to minimize waste through reuse of X-ray tubes, reducing environmental impact. The packaging also adheres to regulations in various regions, and Aquilion Serve ensures minimal CO₂ emissions during transportation, contributing to an eco-friendly product lifecycle.
