Improving clinical pathways with Angio CT in abdominal IR
In a study of 114 patients comparing cone beam CT to Hybrid Angiography CT during TACE procedures, clinicians at CHRU in Montpellier found:
"The results were very surprising. The total dose is completely reduced, less than half of the Cone Beam CT dose"

Integration to boost productivity and patient care
Canon’s unique SUREGuidance feature synchronises positional data of the region of interest between modalities. The CT gantry, c-arm and patient table move automatically, improving workflow, accuracy and reducing procedure time.
3D roadmapping to superimpose CT-derived 3D images onto the fluoro image allows you to navigate during the angio procedure with greater confidence and accuracy.

WorkRite
The freedom to move with your workflow
Alphenix’s ceiling-mounted C-arm offers an unprecedented range of movement, allowing you to position the C-arm to suit your workflow. Its unique lateral fingertip-to-fingertip coverage aids transradial procedures.
With the CT gantry fully parked the C-arm provides fast, head-to-toe access from any position. When both the CT gantry and C-arm are parked, you have 360-degree access to the table when you need it.

16 cm coverage in one rotation
Outstanding image quality with
advanced dose management
Aquilion ONE’s wide detector technology can acquire 16 cm coverage in a single split-second rotation. High-quality morphological and functional 4D imaging supports your treatment workflow, simplifying the positioning of needles or guiding catheter embolisation procedures.
Refine and redefine intervention using the world’s first High-Definition technology
The Alphenix interventional systems feature the world’s first high definition (Hi-Def) detector with 76 micron pixel imaging mode. With more than twice the spatial resolution of conventional flat panel detectors (FPD), the Hi-Def detector helps clinicians visualise fine details and anatomical structures and deploy devices with accuracy and confidence.
Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE)
The only Hybrid Angiography CT solution powered by Deep Learning Reconstruction technology
Harnessing the enormous computational power of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) is trained to differentiate signal from noise, so that the algorithm can suppress noise while enhancing signal. Because it is trained with advanced MBIR, it exhibits high spatial resolution. But unlike MBIR, AiCE deep learning reconstruction overcomes the challenges (image appearance and/or reconstruction speed) in clinical adoption.
AiCE images have:
- Low Noise
- Fine Image Texture
- Sharp High Contrast Resolution
- Clear Low Contrast Detectability
Comprehensive dose management benefits patients and clinical staff
Alphenix Hybrid Angiography CT systems bring together an extensive range of hardware features and software tools all designed to deliver outstanding image quality with minimal dose exposure.
Spot Fluoro significantly reduces patient dose and scatter radiation offering greater protection for the patient and clinical staff. Enhanced dose tracking tools allow real-time peak skin dose monitoring and archiving. This monitoring and visualisation of dose allows the operator to choose a different approach during a long procedure to avoid regions where dose thresholds have been exceeded.

Customer testimonials
"Switching between C-Arm and CT position takes only seconds. Changing from Angio to Arterial CT is very fast, and we do not hesitate to perform this if we feel that the tumour feeder may also have branches to another territory. This is very helpful in prostate embolisation, TACE and SIRT procedures. "
- Prof. Alban Denys
Head of Interventional Radiology at CHUV
“With Canon’s new Angio CT system, we have become more efficient and have been able to shorten the waiting times significantly for several interventions.”
- Dr. Olle Haller
Head of Interventional Radiology
Gävle Central Hospital, Sweden
“it is possible to check whether the procedure has been successful or not immediately after the procedure by checking the contrast pooling of the prostate, conducting non-enhanced CT after prostate artery embolization. With this information, they could explain whether the procedure was successful or not to the patient. All patients were treated and discharged on the same day of the procedure.”

Chief of Intervention Center at the Human Medical Imaging & Intervention Center, Korea.
Hybrid Angiography CT
Toolkit
The Alphenix systems provide a comprehensive suite of advanced imaging tools to enhance visualisation. Applications are integrated into the new feature-rich workstation to improve workflow.
3D Roadmap
Turn 3D Acquisitions into Live Fluoro Roadmaps
3D image display changes according to the system conditions such as the C-arm angle, SID, field size, tabletop height, and tabletop panning.
Cerebral Artery Analysis (CAA)
Enhanced visualisation
This application facilitates extraction and segmentation of identified aneurysms on the cerebral arteries, allowing for assessment of morphological characteristics.
Volumetric CT Fluoro
Perform more efficient CT interventional procedures
Axial, coronal, sagittal and oblique reference are used for optimal interventional guidance plan.
"The development of true 3D fluoroscopy on the Aquilion ONE has brought real clinical benefits for tackling even the most challenging biopsy procedures."

Embolisation Plan
Rapid tumour and feeder vessel extraction
- Identify and extract up to ten tumours and associated feeder vessels using the Alphenix Workstation
- Utilise CTA or Alpha CT datasets
- Overlay with Fluoro utilising 3D Roadmap (Alpha CT) or Multi-Modality Fusion (CTA)
Multi-Modality Fusion
Enhanced visualisation during interventional procedures.
Canon Medical's roadmap function enables 3D CT or MR Volume data to be superimposed on the live fluoro display. This feature provides additional views of the vascular anatomy to aid clinicians during interventional procedures.
Needle Guidance
CT or XA Datasets
Needle guidance function enables positioning of the C-arm to the optimum viewing position and display of a puncture guide line for assistance.
SUREGuidance
Automatic positioning without moving the patient
SUREGuidance provides a fast and accurate means of centralising the target exposure area between CT and Angiography. The CT gantry, c-arm and patient table move automatically, improving workflow, accuracy and reducing procedure time.

High Definition Imaging Reduces Procedure Time Without Impacting Patient Dose in Image-Guided Neuro Interventional Procedures
Preliminary results from over 4,000 neurointerventional procedures at a single centre demonstrate that the improved spatial resolution of the Hi-Def detector may result in reduced procedure time and number of irradiation events. In addition, there was no observable increase in patient dose with the utilisation of the Hi-Def detector. VISIONS magazine |
