The time has come to visualize complex and intricate anatomy with a level of detail you never thought possible. Discover the many neuro and cardiac advantages now available on the world’s first 12×16” True Hi-Def Detector¹ for interventional radiology.

In addition to helping clinicians transform their neuro, peripheral, and cardiac endovascular therapy, Canon Medical’s 12x16” True Hi-Def Detector¹ is now available for general interventional radiology. Discover it for yourself at RSNA 2020.

1: True Hi-Def imaging with 76 micron pixel modes. Documented testing has demonstrated imaging capability with up to 2.5 times greater spatial resolution than conventional detectors.

A newly developed high definition (Hi-Def) detector allows imaging with a resolution of 76 microns – more than twice that of standard technologies. This unique system consists of a conventional flat-panel detector (FPD) with embedded high-resolution modes, and is the first technology of its kind to help guide peripheral interventions.

“Our initial experience using a novel Hi-Def imaging system shows that it can effectively be used in real-time to improve visualization of lower extremity vasculature and interventional devices during complex peripheral arterial interventions and may be used to improve technical outcomes.”

With a streamlined workflow in a single setting, you no longer need to transfer the patient between rooms, improving patient care and boosting productivity. Switch easily between CT and angiography systems to diagnose, treat or verify. Across a wide range of clinical applications Alphenix 4D CT offers more possibilities to deliver safer, better treatment to your patients.

Alphenix 4D CT seamlessly integrates our flexible Alphenix interventional system with the advanced Aquilion CT imaging suite into one versatile solution.

Discover how one prestigious IR site used 4D CT to improve efficiency, increase revenue, and expand their radiology services, while simultaneously delivering high-quality care to maximize patient safety.

Greater than the sum of two parts. Canon Medical’s Aquilion CT imaging suite and Alphenix angiography systems work in concert to provide real improvements in efficiency, workflow and clinical confidence. The unique ^SUREGuidance feature synchronizes positional data of the region of interest between modalities. The CT gantry, the C-arm and the table move automatically to do the rest. 3D roadmapping to superimpose CT-derived 3D images onto the fluoro image allows you to navigate during the angio procedure with greater confidence and accuracy.

Speed is crucial. Capture robust diagnostic images in a fraction of a second, minimizing dose exposure, reducing artifacts and shortening procedure time. With Alphenix 4D CT there is no need to transfer the patient between rooms to confirm device placement or procedural success, so unnecessary procedures can be eliminated and efficiency improved.

\Alphenix’s ceiling-mounted C-arm offers an unprecedented range of movement, allowing you to position the C-arm to suit your workflow. Its unique lateral fingertip-to-fingertip coverage aids transradial procedures. With the CT gantry fully parked the C-arm provides fast, head-to-toe access from any position. When both the CT gantry and C-arm are parked, you have 360-degree access to the table when you need it.

Aquilion ONE’s wide detector technology can acquire 16cm coverage in a single split-second rotation. High-quality morphological and functional 4D imaging supports your treatment workflow, simplifying the positioning of needles or guiding catheter embolization procedures.

Alphenix 4D CT systems bring together an extensive range of hardware features and software tools all designed to deliver outstanding image quality with minimal dose exposure. In CT, advanced technologies help simplify complex protocols, reduce exposure time and use less contrast. In angiography, Spot Fluoro significantly reduces patient dose and scatter radiation offering greater protection for the patient and clinical staff. Enhanced dose tracking tools allow real-time peak skin dose monitoring and archiving. This monitoring and visualization of dose allows the operator to choose a different approach during a long procedure to avoid regions where dose thresholds have been exceeded.

Configure your Alphenix 4D CT to meet your needs.
