Aquilion LB
by Canon
See the bigger picture with the largest true field-of-view
Designed to expand the dimensions of CT, Aquilion™ LB combines Canon Medical Systems' award winning CT technologies with the advantages of a large bore platform. Aquilion LB provides a true 70 cm field-of-view (FOV) acquisition, covering more anatomy with greater accuracy than ever before.
From pediatric to bariatric .
And everyone in between.
In a healthcare environment that increasingly requires doing more with less, Canon Medical Systems' Aquilion™ Large Bore CT system delivers. Accomplishing the need to image patients faster, safer and more comfortably while optimizing workflow and system utilization in more ways than ever.
BENEFITS
Maximize your Patient Potential
Obesity in the U.S. has steadily increased over the past 20 years with roughly 36% of all adults and 17% of all children and adolescents aged 2-19 currently in this category.* Increasing access while improving patient comfort, compliance and convenience, Aquilion LB incorporates ergonomic features specifically designed to accommodate this burgeoning patient population.
Largest Gantry Aperture
The industry's widest 90 cm gantry bore provides exceptional access and more comfortable positioning for bariatric patients.
Highest Weight Capacity Supports More Patient
A first-of-its kind table with 660 lb.** weight capacity makes it possible to scan a larger patient population. (**optional)
Improved Patient Safety and Access
The ability to lower table height to 31.2 cm above the floor facilitates easy access for bariatric and other patients with physical limitations.
Aquilion LB delivers Canon Medical Systems' advanced CT technology in a robust system configuration that delivers the highest quality images at the lower doses. And increases confidence in clinical decision making for the widest range of patients.
The Quantum Advantage
Aquilion LB provides the advanced capabilities you need for the most challenging cases. The QuantumPLUS detector, with a true 70 cm field-of-view enables unparalleled image quality for larger patients. 4D acquisition and respiratory gating capabilities enable motion management in radiation therapy.
Use the advantage of the QuantumPLUS detector during bariatric imaging.
-
90 cm gantry bore comfortably accommodates larger patients
-
40% greater FOV without extrapolation
-
Best low-contrast resolution at the lowest dose
Personalized Dose Management
AIDR 3D is the latest generation of Canon Medical Systems iterative reconstruction technology that is fully integrated into the imaging chain, and optimized for busy clinical environments.
Integrated into SUREExposure3D settings, this iterative algorithm removes noise in the raw and image data space, by analyzing and the processing the data repeatedly.

Optimizing your interventional capabilities
Expanding on over a decade of experience in real-time image display, the Aquilion LB combines three-frame real-time CT Fluoro with a spacious gantry opening to take interventional radiology to the next level.
SUREFluoro™: Real-Time Multi-Slice CT
Utilizing three contiguous slices for real-time monitoring during interventions with image viewing at up to 12 frames-per-second, SUREFluoro™ increases accuracy by enabling more precise positioning and control while enhancing patient safety with shorter procedures and decreased biopsy times.
New Console Architecture
From performing exams to distributing data, Aquilion LB accelerates the process of providing the information you need to make the best treatment decisions. With a reconstruction of up to 22 images per second, 0.5 mm images are available almost immediately after acquisition.
Double Slice with coneXact™
Canon Medical Systems' unique Double Slice technology with coneXact™ reconstruction allows the Aquilion LB to double the number of slices to 32 per detector-row-acquisition without increasing radiation delivered to the patient.
