Canon unveils 3.0T MRI system that has deep learning reconstruction at its core

Canon Medical Systems introduced the Vantage Galan 3T Supreme Edition MRI system at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, Austria.

The system combines Japanese craftsmanship with advanced technologies, featuring a next-generation 3.0T magnet designed to deliver improved stability and homogeneity. Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) powered by Altivity and the real-time platform (RTP) work together to provide precise imaging across all patients, anatomies and almost all sequences. RTP enables real-time scan adjustments, minimising artefacts and distortion even in challenging anatomical areas and providing consistent high quality imaging, reduced scan time and greater diagnostic confidence.

At the core of the new system are two advanced AI-powered DLR technology tools: Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) and Precise IQ Engine (PIQE). AiCE is designed to improve MR image quality, reducing noise while preserving edges, fine details and texture, while PIQE focuses on delivering higher resolution, which is now extended across a wide range of sequences, enabling high resolution imaging in 2D and diffusion-weighted imaging for precision and speed.

Canon says that the system reduces helium usage and incorporates energy and contrast-saving features.

Director of MR at Canon Medical Systems Europe Thierry Munier commented: “Featuring an RTP for faster data processing, AI-powered tools like AiCE and PIQE, and productivity-focused automation, Canon Medical sets new standards for image clarity, workflow efficiency and patient comfort.”
