Canon Aquilion Precision
Family: Canon Medical Aquilion · Modality: CT
Ultra-high-resolution CT — 160 × 0.25 mm detector rows, the highest spatial resolution of any commercial clinical CT. Targets academic radiology, cardiovascular research, inner ear / skull base imaging, and small-lesion work. Counterpart to Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha on the photon-counting end of the high-res market.
Variant-specific considerations
- 0.25 mm detector pixel size (vs ~0.5 mm conventional)
- Requires high-frequency tube, smaller focal spot
- AiCE deep-learning reconstruction essential for dose management at this resolution
- Low installed base — academic and specialty mainly
Parts
