FDA Clears AI Reconstruction Tech for Canon Medical’s CT Scanner

The FDA granted Canon Medical’s ultra-high resolution CT system 510(k) clearance for its Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE).

The company’s Aquilion Precision and Aquilion ONE / Genesis edition computed tomography (CT) systems use a deep learning algorithm to separate the signal from noise, suppress noise and enhance signal.

The Aquilion Precision uses deep learning neural networks “specifically trained to perform one task — reconstruct images that are sharp, clear, and distinct,” the company said.
