Canon Medical Systems ANZ Won the 2021 MTAA Kerrin Rennie Award for its cutting-edge Hi-Def technology
The Medical Technology Association of Australia (MTAA) recognised the innovative and extraordinary contribution of the world’s first high-definition (Hi-Def) flat panel detector– used in image-guided endovascular procedures – in improving patient outcomes. This aligns perfectly with Canon Medical’s Made for Life philosophy - prioritising patient outcomes as the primary driver of our innovation.
Refine and redefine intervention
Visualisation like never before with the High-Definition mode
The Alphenix interventional systems feature the world’s first 30x40cm high definition (Hi-Def)* detector with 76 micron pixel imaging mode. At 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.
*Available on the Alphenix Sky +, Hybrid Angio-CT with Sky +, Biplane, and Core+ systems. Featuring the highest level of resolution available in the angiography market, Canon Medical have redefined interventional visualisation, providing clinicians with unsurpassed clinical confidence during interventional procedures.
1: True Hi-Def imaging with 76 micron pixel modes. Documented testing has demonstrated imaging capability with up to 2.5 times greater spatial resolution than conventional detectors.
Alphenix Hi-Def Detector
Aneurysm Stenting (Flow Diverter)
Hi-Def imaging in the treatment of a left PCOM aneurysm, using a 6F Sheath, Phenom Plus & Phenom 27 Microcatheter and deploying a 4.0 x 20mm pipeline flex flow diverter stent.
The Hi-Def mode provides clear visualisation of stent position and deployment, allowing confidence in full deployment and stent apposition of this flow diverter.
Carotid Stenting
Hi-Def mode providing enhanced visualisation during the treatment of a symptomatic right ICA stenosis.
8.0 x 21mm WALLSTENT, 7.2mm Emboshield NAV6 embolic protection device and AVIATOR Plus 4.0 x 20mm balloon.
Stent-Assisted Coiling
Hi-Def imaging provides the highest possible resolution to accurately evaluate stent apposition.
Incomplete stent apposition is a risk factor during stent-assisted coiling of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms and can result in a delayed ischemic event post treatment.
Hi-Def imaging enhances clinical confidence and improves patient outcomes.
Peripheral Intervention
Hi-Def imaging is a valuable tool in challenging peripheral interventional cases.
With twice the spatial resolution of FPD technology, Hi-Def mode can provide clinicians with the improved visualisation needed to pass guide-wires and engage catheters during challenging retrograde and antegrade revascularisation.
Image Resolution for Tomorrow's Interventions
Innovative Hi-Def imaging system for complex interventional cardiology procedures
Initial experience using a novel Hi-Def imaging system shows that it can be used safely to improve visualisation of coronary arteries and interventional devices during PCI in real-time, with no observable increase in patient dose. Images obtained in the Hi-Def setting have a higher resolution and improved quality compared to standard imaging modes, allowing visual analysis of vessel anatomy and stent structure with a high level of accuracy.

Initial investigations of a special high-definition (Hi-Def) zoom capability in a new detector system for neuro-interventional procedures
The Hi-Def zoomed images were much preferred over the FPD, indicating the potential to improve endovascular procedures and hence outcomes using such a Hi-Def feature.

Quantitative comparison of Hi-Def and FPD zoom modes in an innovative detector using Relative Object Detectability (ROD) metrics
Due to their higher resolution, high-definition-mode images are sharper and visually preferred compared with the flat panel detector images. The improved imaging provided by the high-definition mode can potentially provide an advantage during neurointerventional procedures.

High-Definition Zoom Mode, a High-Resolution X-Ray Microscope for Neurointerventional Treatment Procedures: A Blinded-Rater Clinical-Utility Study
Each of the metrics demonstrated improved performance of the Hi-Def zoom mode over the standard FPD mode in imaging a wide array of objects such as stents, wires, and spheres. Of particular note is the greater performance of the Hi-Def when considering the high spatial frequencies necessary for visualizing fine image details of a pipeline stent.
