Our solutions
We are taking measures to increase the accessibility of lung cancer screening for the public, providing high-quality imaging at low dose, removing workflow inefficiencies, supporting the interpretation and communication of findings among clinicians, and streamlining follow-up procedures.
Together, we can improve the patient experience and ensure a high-quality and cost-effective screening program, while minimizing the burden of lung cancer on patients worldwide.
Easy access to screening
Mobile Imaging solutions allow you to conveniently perform scans, expanding accessibility and bringing the screening experience closer to your patients.
Efficient workflow
The INSTINX workflow experience optimizes efficiency, ensuring quick and seamless CT scans.
High-quality images at low dose
AI-enhanced CT lung cancer screening solutions, including the combination of SilverBeam filter and Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) offer high-quality images with minimal noise and radiation exposure.
Risk stratification and diagnosis
Vitrea Advanced Visualization lung cancer screening solution automatically detects lung nodules, enables comprehensive lung analysis and supports faster and more efficient diagnosis.
Easy access from anywhere
One of the main challenges of lung cancer screening is reaching the people who may need it the most. Mobile imaging solutions allow you to provide healthcare and education where people live and work, and offer screening close to their homes. By removing barriers to access, mobile imaging services may play a significant role in improving lung cancer screening rates and contribute to more equitable healthcare. The design of our mobile medical equipment provides a comfortable and convenient environment for high-patient throughput lung cancer screening without any compromises on patient safety, workflow or image quality.
"Developing a mobile program allowed delivery of healthcare to rural parts of our state with the ultimate goal of mitigating some of the cancer outcome disparities of our state and region."

Scanning is easier than ever before
An efficient workflow is essential for lung cancer screening. It enhances accessibility, reduces waiting times, optimizes resource utilization, and improves overall patient care. By prioritizing efficiency, we provide patient-centric end-to-end workflow solutions, incorporating intuitive design and automated features for improved efficiency through the INSTINX workflow.
INSTINX workflow
Canon's CT total workflow experience is redesigned from the ground up to set new standards in efficiency and consistency. Every detail of the workflow has been thoroughly refined and validated through clinical testing in medical centers around the world.

High-quality images at low dose
A unique synergy of beam filtering and AI-enhanced reconstruction technologies
Lung cancer screening demands high patient throughput and low radiation dose while providing images that have the quality for a reliable assessment of nodule growth and malignancy. The unique combination of SilverBeam Filter with our specific Deep Learning imaging reconstruction results in the best possible image quality at typical lung cancer screening doses.
Small lung nodule detection
High-quality lung CT imaging at 0.54 mSv utilizing the combination of SilverBeam Filter and Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE).
In this patient, a small lung nodule is clearly visible in the upper right lobe.
Follow-up imaging at low dose
SilverBeam Filter combined with AiCE delivers high-quality images of the lungs at a dose closer to a chest X-ray.
In this patient, 94% dose reduction was achieved at follow-up through the implementation of our SilverBeam Filter as compared to the initial scan using a standard filter, while nodule conspicuity was maintained.
"I have had patients who are reluctant to come in for a chest CT because of the fears of radiation. However, with Canon technology, that barrier is removed. And now, we are able to offer ultra-low dose chest CT for screening for lung cancer, and that's a game changer."

Standardized lung nodule assessment and comprehensive characterization of nodules over time
A key aspect of any lung cancer screening program is the accurate and timely reporting of scans followed by streamlined nodule management and lung disease management. However, without appropriate software solutions, the reporting of lung cancer examinations can be a time- consuming task that is prone to error.
The comprehensive lung cancer screening solution in Vitrea Advanced Visualization contains automated tools that support you in the detection and characterization of different lung nodule types including the assessment of growth patterns. To facilitate workflow and structured reporting, findings are automatically transferred to your reporting template with quick reference to guidelines such as Lung-RADS and the Fleischner Criteria.
