AI-based Image Reconstruction Expands to Body Applications on Galan 3T MR System

Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. announces expanded clinical indications for Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) on the Vantage Galan 3T MR system. Previously cleared indications were for the brain and knee; now AiCE can be used for a vastly larger number of clinical indications, from prostate to shoulders, including all joints, cardiac, pelvis, abdomen and spine.

According to the company, AiCE was trained using vast amounts of high-quality image data, and features a deep learning neural network that can reduce noise and boost signal to quickly deliver sharp, clear and distinct images, allowing clinicians to boost image quality, performance, productivity and throughput.

“With this expansion of AiCE, Canon Medical now offers advanced AI technology on its 1.5T and 3T MR systems,” said Mark Totina, managing director, MR Business Unit, Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. “Canon Medical remains committed to making images easy to read and acquire, and this expansion further demonstrates our commitment to offering accessible AI that clinicians can use to make the greatest impact on patient care.”
