Diagnostic Healthcare takes delivery of latest AI-powered CT mobile from Canon
Diagnostic Healthcare Limited is enhancing its diagnostic services with the arrival of its newest mobile CT unit, featuring cutting-edge AI technology from Canon Medical Systems.
This latest addition is a mobile version of Canon’s Aquilion Prime SP CT system, a model Canon first adapted for mobile use in 2020. Diagnostic Healthcare brings this technology directly to patients in a setting designed to ease anxiety, featuring mood lighting and calming wall art in the mobile unit.
Established in 2004, Diagnostic Healthcare offers a wide range of medical imaging services, including MRI, ultrasound, DEXA, CT and x-ray, to NHS and private patients across the UK. It has particularly focused on expanding its CT capabilities with innovative mobile and modular scanning solutions.
Diagnostic Healthcare chief operating and quality officer Sarah Rickles said: “The new mobiles are delivered with the latest clinical applications so we can use protocols that match what is delivered at the customer site. Adding CT scanners to our fleet allows us to provide excellent services for both the NHS and our private patients. By ensuring our solutions can deliver the same throughput with high IQ as the scanner on the site, it means the customer can be confident that the patients will gain the same high quality imaging, whether it be on the static or the mobile.”
The Aquilion Prime SP has features that streamline the scanning process and optimise radiation doses for each patient, ensuring safety and comfort without compromising image quality. It comes equipped with advanced software that simplifies complex CT procedures.
A standout feature is Canon’s AiCE technology. This advanced deep learning reconstruction uses AI trained to reduce noise and enhance the signal in scan images. The result is sharp, clear and distinct images, delivered quickly.
