Aquilion lightning

Better care. Safer imaging.

Aquilion Lightning™, Canon Medical Systems’ 16-row 32 slice* helical CT system for whole-body imaging, employs cutting-edge technologies to optimize patient care and accelerate clinical decision making. Innovative features ensure that high-quality isotropic images are routinely acquired with low patient dose. The workflow is streamlined, increasing patient throughput. And a wide range of advanced 3D and post processing applications provide clinical flexibility.

Body

Runoff CTA, Femoral Bypass

Aquilion Lightning

63-year-old male. CT Runoff Angiography was performed with ^SUREExposure and ^SUREkV, automatic mA modulation and kV selection. Multiplanar Reconstructions (MPR) and 3D Volume Rendered images demonstrate bilateral iliac-femoral artery occlusion; right axillary femoral bypass graft and a left aortofemoral bypass graft with restored blood flow to both femoral arteries. Severe diffuse atherosclerotic disease and aortic aneurism pre-bifurcation is also demonstrated. Blood flow is seen bilaterally in the extremities.

Minimum Space

Maximum Efficiency

With a design also focusing on smaller installation space and power consumption, Aquilion Lightning™ requires a minimal footprint.

Adaptive Diagnostics

Innovative solutions unique to Canon medical systems to solve clinical challenges. Simplified workflow with consistent quality results.

Low Dose by Design

Canon Medical Systems’ dose reducing features AIDR3D Enhanced and ^SUREExposure 3D are fully integrated into Aquilion Lightning’s workflow.
