Canon Medical Systems USA has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Aquilion One / Prism edition CT scanner.
The scanner uses deep-learning spectral capabilities to allow for more routine spectral imaging. Through its artificial intelligence technology, the Aquilion One / Prism edition also is designed to enhance workflow and provide more detailed images and data to help physicians make more informed decisions about a patient's care.
Canon's Aquilion One / Prism CT edition CT scanner.The scanner's advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) also uses deep learning to distinguish true signal from noise for enhanced image quality across the entire body, including brain, lung, cardiac, and musculoskeletal applications.
![Images show the pectoralis muscles of a healthy male individual who never smoked (age, 66 years; height, 178 cm; body mass index [BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared], 28.4; number of cigarette pack-years, 0; forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1], 97.6% predicted; FEV1: forced vital capacity [FVC] ratio, 0.71; pectoralis muscle area [PMA], 59.4 cm2; pectoralis muscle volume [PMV], 764 cm3) and a male individual with a smoking history and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) (age, 66 years; height, 178 cm; BMI, 27.5; number of cigarette pack-years, 43.2, FEV1, 48% predicted; FEV1:FVC, 0.56; PMA, 35 cm2; PMV, 480.8 cm3) from the Canadian Cohort Obstructive Lung Disease (i.e., CanCOLD) study. The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
