Multislice HELICAL CT SCANNER

Product Data
No. MPDCT0765EAF

APPLICATION
Aquilion Start is a multislice helical CT system that supports
whole-body imaging. Aquilion Start is packed with premium
technology originally developed for our high-end CT
systems, carefully crafted and adapted keeping in mind the
changing requirements of healthcare organizations,
including the need for faster workflows, universal
accessibility, and sound economics.

FEATURES
Quality care for all
Aquilion Start delivers premium performance in a compact
system. It incorporates advanced technologies to optimize
patient care and accelerate clinical decision making.

• Designed to Maximize Clinical Flexibility • Designed to Realize Business Potential

– PUREViSION Detector technology, which was introduced in
our premium systems, has been adapted to achieve the
perfect balance of image quality and patient dose
optimized for outstanding speed in routine clinical
practice.
– Canon Medical Systems advanced clinical solutions
ensures excellent visualization of vasculature in CTA
studies, while Iodine Mapping provides an extra level of
detail as part of your chest CTA exams.
– SEMAR (Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction) helps
eliminate metal artifacts, improving visualization of
implants and supporting bone and adjacent soft tissue
for a clearer and more confident diagnosis.
– From starting a new venture with an optimal investment,
to expanding business to new horizons, Aquilion Start is
the right choice for realizing all your business goals.
– Aquilion Start has a minimal footprint of only 9.8 m2*1, *2,
compact enough to meet even the most restrictive siting
requirements.
– Innovative Adaptive Power Management technologies
dramatically decrease energy requirements, reducing
running costs and easing the environmental impact.

• Designed to Optimize Productivity Safely

– The Aquilion Start gantry features design innovations to
improve the scanning experience for patients while
providing excellent operability and ensuring safety.
– The spacious 780 mm wide bore and 470 mm wide
couch allow comfortable scanning for even the largest
patients. The couch-top can be lowered to a minimum
height of 312 mm, which makes it easier to transfer
patients from a wheelchair.
– Intuitive automation and a host of intelligent functions
enable fast and efficient workflows that not only save
time, but also provide the perfect clinical solution.

 Scanning
• Scanoscope function provides a projection image of the
patient for high-precision advance planning of scan areas.
• On the scanogram, the length of the scan area can be
adjusted over a range of up to 1780 mm*1 or 1480 mm*2.
Because the images are reconstructed in real time, the
scan can be aborted at any time. This allows the patient
exposure dose to be minimized.
• The auto index function allows automatic incremental
couch-top movement based on the slice positions
determined through the scanogram.
• The eXam Plan function allows simple selection of pre-
programmed scanning parameters for routine
examinations, maximizing patient throughput.
• Protocol comments can be saved in each eXam Plan,
providing interactive onscreen instructions for all studies,
reducing the need to refer to a separate protocol book.
• The Vari-area function allows the user to preselect a region
of interest for zooming using raw data, permitting
immediate post-scan analysis. Zooming using raw data
yields higher resolution than enlarging an image that has
already been reconstructed.
• Dynamic and rapid-sequence scan modes are provided.
• Multislice helical scan acquires raw data by rotating the
X-ray tube continuously while moving the patient
continuously through the scanner. The acquired volume
data can be used to reconstruct axial slices at any desired
position. This scan mode is best used for rapid patient
scanning during a single breath-hold and for high-
definition three-dimensional and MPR imaging.
• Real-time helical reconstruction mode makes it possible to
observe the images being scanned in real time at a
maximum of 12 frames per second. This mode shows any
shift in the slice position in real time and allows the
operator to check the scan field on the image, contrast
study timing, patient body motion, etc. The patient can
therefore be released immediately after scanning.
• The SUREStart function allows the operator to start helical
scanning at the timing of maximum enhancement in
contrast studies. SUREStart monitors the CT number in real
time to detect the arrival of contrast medium in the image.
When the CT number reaches the predefined threshold,
dynamic volume scan or helical scan automatically starts.
This technique ensures optimal contrast enhancement,
independent of individual differences in blood flow
velocity, and at the same time minimizes the dose of
contrast medium.
Data processing
• A variety of reconstruction algorithms are available and
can be selected according to the anatomical region
examined and the clinical objective of the study. These
include algorithms for the abdomen, head, bones, lung,
small structures, soft tissues, etc.
8
Image display and processing
• Reconstructed images are automatically displayed
according to the window settings preset in the eXam Plan.
• The window save function allows the user to store an
image with different window settings from those set in the
eXam Plan.
• Filter parameters can be customized through simple
on-screen menu selections. These parameters include the
number of filtering passes, matrix size and filter
coefficients.
• Images can be rotated and reversed
(right/left, top/bottom, black/white).
• The Multi-frame feature allows up to 15 images to be
retrieved and displayed simultaneously on the screen.
• The three-dimensional image display function allows color
three-dimensional and MPR images in real-time to be
generated from the volumetric scan data acquired by
helical scanning. This results in higher definition and
image quality than images reconstructed from
conventional single-slice scanning. This is because helical
scanning provides superior data continuity along the
patient axis compared with conventional scanning.
Image filming
• Filming of images can be performed manually or
automatically from the console.
• Automatic filming sends an entire study to the laser printer.
Filming is performed in background mode so that other
scanner and image processing functions can be performed
without interruption or delay.
• When T-mode is used, related information items displayed
together with an image (surrounding the image, in a small
font) are displayed in the footer area using a larger font,
permitting not only easier reading but also simpler film
management.
Note: To use T-mode, the laser imager must support
2048 pixels × 2404 pixels for a 1 × 1 frame layout.
Patient throughput
Patient throughput and cost effectiveness were major
objectives in the design and production of the system.
• The system incorporates a 2 MHU or 3.5 MHU X-ray tube
with a fast cooling rate of 337.8 kHU/min or 735 kHU/min
in actual use.
• High-speed scans can be performed in as little as
0.75 second per scan.
• Real-time scanoscopy.
• Ease of operation is ensured through the incorporation of
a hybrid keyboard, mouse-driven menus and a large color
LCD screen.
• The couch-top can be lowered to a position close to the
floor, facilitating patient transfer.
