Key solutions

Canon ultrasound systems provide a wide range of tools to support the identification of anatomical structures and landmarks, automate study protocols and assist clinicians in clinical assessment.

These capabilities may help clinicians streamline workflows and reduce physical and cognitive workload across a broad range of applications.

Workflow productivity

Simplify workflows and accelerate learning

Canon’s AI-driven workflow automation features can help enhance the efficiency of imaging and diagnostic processes by supporting critical tasks across the imaging cycle. Intelligent tools assist in streamlining workflows, improving consistency and reducing variability, helping to optimize productivity, accelerate learning and support consistent clinical assessment.

 

Making echo easier, faster and more reliable

Cardiac assessment can be a complex and time-consuming process. With Auto GLS (Quick Strain), you can perform a full left ventricular assessment, including ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain, with a single click.

Selecting a suitable A4C view allows the AI-enabled function to automatically propose matching A2C and A3C views, helping you complete a comprehensive analysis with ease.

Clinical decision support

Increase exam consistency to facilitate clinical assessment

Aplio offers a comprehensive range of decision support and protocol tools designed to assist clinicians in standardized, timely and evidence-based clinical assessment workflows. By supporting consistent application of clinical criteria and structured documentation, these tools promote standardized assessment workflows and assist clinicians with documentation and categorization.

Real-Time Assistance

Aplio can assist during examinations by highlighting user-reviewable regions of interest on ultrasound images, supporting structured image evaluation and clinical assessment.

Assessment and Risk Stratification

Aplio can support automated segmentation and sizing of views and lesions, and provide risk stratification based on established guidelines to support standardized assessment workflows.

Clinical Guidelines and Protocols

Aplio can support the integration of clinical guidelines into the imaging process, helping promote diagnostic consistency and adherence to best practice standards, particularly in complex cases.

The AI-enabled BI-RADSTM* function on Aplio can support clinicians by identifying structures in the breast and suggesting their size and category, helping streamline and enhance the diagnostic workflow.
