Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) Delivers High Spatial
Resolution 3-5x Faster Than MBIR
TUSTIN, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Building on its advanced image reconstruction technologies, Canon
Medical Systems USA, Inc. has received 510(k) clearance on its new
deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) image reconstruction
technology, ushering in a new era for CT. Canon Medical’s Advanced
Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) uses a deep learning algorithm to
differentiate signal from noise so that it can suppress noise while
enhancing signal.
The algorithm forges a new frontier for CT image reconstruction with its
ability to learn from the high image quality of Model Based Iterative
Reconstruction (MBIR) to reconstruct CT images with improved spatial
resolution*, 3-5x times faster than traditional MBIR. With AiCE’s deep
learning approach, thousands of features learned during training
help to differentiate signal from noise for improved resolution. AiCE
applies a pre-trained DCNN to enhance spatial resolution while
simultaneously reducing noise with reconstruction speeds fast enough for
busy clinical environments.
“Our AiCE technology utilizes a next generation approach to CT image
reconstruction, further proving Canon Medical’s leadership and
commitment to innovation in diagnostic imaging,” said Dominic Smith,
senior director, CT, PET/CT, and MR Business Units, Canon Medical
Systems USA. “This technology doesn’t just meet our customers’ evolving
needs, it exceeds them, opening doors to clearer, more precise images to
help optimize patient care.”
