Abstract

Canon Medical introduced the first multi-energy Computed Tomography (CT) system powered by deep learning artificial intelligence with the launch of Spectral Imaging on the Aquilion ONE Prism CT system in 2020. Spectral Imaging’s multi-energy approach combines the benefits of Rapid kV Switching technology with deep learning-based reconstruction to maximize the diagnostic value of every photon at each kV level, making routine and wide volume multi-energy imaging possible.
