Simplify operations

Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition’s new INSTINX workflow brings together innovative hardware, automated operations, and an intuitive interface to promote high-quality CT exams that are faster, safer and easier to perform.
INSTINX drives faster throughput and higher productivity while ensuring a level of consistency that is the hallmark of any successful diagnostic imaging business.

INSTINX

Quick, efficient, and comfortable patient positioning

Position patients quickly with Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition’s in-built positioning cameras and lateral slide. The intuitive touch panel operation ensures you can keep your focus on the patient. The flared gantry design and 80 cm bore provide easy access for emergency or interventional examinations, and reduce claustrophobia for patients.

Instinctive User Experience

INSTINX incorporates automated features in support of optimal productivity. Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition features automatic scan planning to automatically plan all routine scans including scan ranges and dose and exposure settings, using the unique 3D Landmark Scan and the AI-enabled Anatomical Landmark Detection technology.

3D Landmark Scan

Take the guesswork out of the scan planning with the axial image preview provided by the 3D Landmark Scan, an ultra-low dose helical scan using SilverBeam Filter that replaces traditional scout views.

Automatic Scan Planning

The scan planning step in INSTINX is performed using a human avatar encoded with anatomical start and end positions for all routine exams. These same landmarks are identified in the patient's 3D Landmark Scan data using AI-assisted Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) technology to provide highly accurate and fully automatic scan planning.

Low-dose 3D Landmark Scan combined with Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) results in a 23.3% dose reduction due to a more accurate, reduced scan range.
  • Ensured consistency 
  • Improved accuracy 
  • Reduced radiation dose 
  • Faster workflow and reduced time

Gain insights

With our latest Deep Learning Reconstruction technology and a wide range of solutions to support diagnostic confidence regardless of patient condition, the Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition simplifies complicated scans and elevates those that are more routine.

Precise IQ Engine (PIQE)

Super resolution insights

PIQE images show sharper anatomical detail for better delineation of small anatomical structures for a more definitive diagnosis. The 1024 matrix allows images to be enlarged up to four times the size of a 512 image, without a loss of resolution.

✓ Sharp anatomical detail
✓ No additional dose
✓ Less noise
✓ Low contrast detectability
✓ Reduced calcium blooming
✓ Cardiac isophasic uniformity

SilverBeam Filter

SilverBeam Filter capitalises on the physical properties of silver to optimally filter low-energy X-rays, providing the penetration needed for larger patients or when scanning the shoulder region, while preserving low-contrast detectability. When combined with Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), SilverBeam delivers high-quality chest CT at lung cancer screening dose or improves image quality in cervical spine scans.
