Simplify operations
Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition’s new INSTINX workflow brings together innovative hardware, automated operations, and an intuitive interface to promote high-quality CT exams that are faster, safer and easier to perform.
INSTINX drives faster throughput and higher productivity while ensuring a level of consistency that is the hallmark of any successful diagnostic imaging business.
INSTINX
Quick, efficient, and comfortable patient positioning
Position patients quickly with Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition’s in-built positioning cameras and lateral slide. The intuitive touch panel operation ensures you can keep your focus on the patient. The flared gantry design and 80 cm bore provide easy access for emergency or interventional examinations, and reduce claustrophobia for patients.
Built-in Canon cameras for automatic patient positioning
Wide couch with lateral slide for patient comfort and operator safety
Table tray and roll holder for convenience and hygiene
80 cm wide aperture for increased patient safety and operator flexibility
Smart touch screen for easy operability
Instinctive User Experience
INSTINX incorporates automated features in support of optimal productivity. Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition features automatic scan planning to automatically plan all routine scans including scan ranges and dose and exposure settings, using the unique 3D Landmark Scan and the AI-enabled Anatomical Landmark Detection technology.
3D Landmark Scan
Take the guesswork out of the scan planning with the axial image preview provided by the 3D Landmark Scan, an ultra-low dose helical scan using SilverBeam Filter that replaces traditional scout views.

Automatic Scan Planning
The scan planning step in INSTINX is performed using a human avatar encoded with anatomical start and end positions for all routine exams. These same landmarks are identified in the patient's 3D Landmark Scan data using AI-assisted Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) technology to provide highly accurate and fully automatic scan planning.
Anatomical Landmark Detection
The ALD algorithm was trained on 3D Landmark Scans for all relevant anatomy and not only helps to save operator time but also helps to promote more consistent scan planning.
Gain insights
With our latest Deep Learning Reconstruction technology and a wide range of solutions to support diagnostic confidence regardless of patient condition, the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition simplifies complicated scans and elevates those that are more routine.
Precise IQ Engine (PIQE)
Super resolution insights
PIQE images show sharper anatomical detail for better delineation of small anatomical structures for a more definitive diagnosis. The 1024 matrix allows images to be enlarged up to four times the size of a 512 image, without a loss of resolution.
✓ Sharp anatomical detail
✓ No additional dose
✓ Less noise
✓ Low contrast detectability
✓ Reduced calcium blooming
✓ Cardiac isophasic uniformity

SilverBeam Filter
SilverBeam Filter capitalizes on the physical properties of silver to optimally filter low-energy X-rays, providing the penetration needed for larger patients or when scanning the shoulder region, while preserving low-contrast detectability. When combined with Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), SilverBeam delivers high-quality chest CT at lung cancer screening dose or improves image quality in cervical spine scans.

Cardiac CT
Cardiovascular insights
The powerful combination of PIQE with Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition’s ONE beat cardiac with ultra-fast 0.24 s rotation speed will deliver high quality coronary CTA examinations for all your patients.
Neuro CT
Acute stroke insights
Patients presenting with acute non-hemorrhagic stroke need to be imaged fast, the first time and every time. Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition provides total neurovascular assessment to evaluate the best treatment options available for your patients – in a single dynamic volume scan that takes just one minute to perform.
The Automation Platform provides fully automatic analysis and sends the results to the care team to help physicians make the right choice at the right time for their patients.

Interventional CT
Interventional insights
Conduct faster, more focused interventional procedures with our new CTF interface that enables one-handed operation thanks to the ergonomically designed control interface and a 27 inch in-room display monitor. The 80 cm bore with flared gantry design and lateral couch movement provide positioning flexibility and easy patient access.
Deep Learning Spectral
Spectral insights
The Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition harnesses the temporal benefits of rapid kV switching with patient specific mA modulation and combines them with a Deep Learning Reconstruction that delivers excellent energy separation and low-noise properties.
Images can be delivered directly to your reading station, and with our range of new Vitrea™ applications, you can easily analyze comprehensive spectral data, including quantification and multi-layered images for a more detailed and definitive diagnosis.
Optimize Return on Investment
Save time and energy, serve more patients, and relieve overloaded staff with a scanner thoughtfully designed for maximized performance.
Automated Quality Assurance
Step-by-step quality assurance phantom scanning procedure and automatic analysis of CT number, Noise and MTF1* provide robust and reproducible results, regardless of the operator performing the procedure.
ONE hybrid
To minimize power consumption and reduce the carbon footprint, the hybrid drive converts energy during deceleration of the gantry, generating electricity which is recycled to power gantry components.
Designed to fit most clinical environments
At just 19.38 m2*, Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition is one of the smallest and most space-efficient CT systems in its class.
