The development of CT technology has focused on increasing the number of detector rows, achieving faster gantry rotation, and reducing the exposure dose. In 2017, the introduction of the high-resolution CT system Aquilion Precision, which features remarkably high spatial resolution, led to a true revolution in clinical practice. This report describes the clinical advances in the field of otolaryngology that have been made possible by Aquilion Precision and the Deep Learning Reconstruction technology known as Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE)*.
In 2020, Samukawa Hospital replaced its current 1.5T MRI system with a Vantage Orian 1.5T built with Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) technology. AiCE represents the world’s first AI-based solution for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of medical images, which the hospital is currently using in its routine clinical practice. In this report, radiologists at Samukawa Hospital discuss their experience with AiCE.
There is a great need for highly reproducible MRI examinations with the same scan position and angle, and with smooth scan operation regardless of the operator’s experience. Auto Planning, supported by Auto Scan Assist, allows MR Technologists with different levels of experience to perform complex MR procedures easily, while enhancing workflow and reproducibility from patient to patient.
