(Credit: OsloMetX from Pixabay) Canon Medical Systems USA, an imaging and healthcare technology company, has unveiled its artificial intelligence (AI) technology powered End-to-End CT Workflow Automation suite. The End-to-End CT Workflow Automation, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, is designed to streamline operations from referral through reporting, improve patient care, and increase operational efficiencies. The suite’s features are intended to boost confidence throughout the CT study process, said Canon Medical Systems. It includes an INSTINX CT workflow experience tool that prioritises patient-centric care by automating workflows. INSTINX CT is said to offer quick scan planning, simple and safe patient positioning, and consistency between operators irrespective of their levels of experience. The automated features and user-friendly design offered by the tool increase the productivity of the workflow, Canon Medical said. The second tool is Remote Assist which improves the care delivery by offering remote scanning assistance. It allows direct virtual access from the scanner to in-house experts. End-to-End CT Workflow Automation also includes the Automation Platform feature which is an AI-powered, zero-click solution that uses deep learning technology to streamline workflows and reduce manual intervention. Additionally, the suite has a Vina Analytics CT Protocol Management solution that streamlines and standardises protocol management for Canon CT scanners. Canon Medical Systems chief sales and marketing officer Satrajit Misra said: “In the current landscape of limited access to skilled labor, End-to-End CT Workflow Automation is a game-changer for healthcare providers. “By automating various facets of the CT scanning process, we empower healthcare professionals to concentrate on what matters most – delivering exceptional patient care.” In a separate development, Canon Medical Systems has partnered with Cleveland Clinic to develop imaging and healthcare IT technologies to improve diagnosis, care, and patient outcomes. Under the partnership, the parties will set up a comprehensive imaging research centre in an existing building in Cleveland’s Fairfax neighbourhood, near the main campus of Cleveland Clinic. Their joint research projects will be centred on cardiology, neurology and musculoskeletal medicine, Cleveland Clinic said. They will have three main components, which are pre-clinical imaging, human imaging, and image analysis.

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In an era of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is improving medical imaging and the standard of care. CaliberMRI, an industry leader in standardization of MRI, announces the successful grant of "QIBA DWI Profile Conformance Certification" to Canon Medical Systems USA (Canon Medical), a key step in integrating qMRI into clinical workflow. Continue Reading The Radiological Society of North Americas (RSNA) Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA) has partnered with CaliberMRI to help standardize quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) to improve patient care through the QIBA Conformance Certification program. With the increased adoption of qMRI, QIBA Conformance allows sites to demonstrate accurate, repeatable, and reproducible ADC measurements for the Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) Profile, which provides validated imaging performance claims regarding changes in ADC in brain, breast, prostate and liver. "Through our work with CaliberMRI, we were able to rigorously test our Vantage Galan 3T scanner using CaliberMRI's Phantom (Model 128 Diffusion), QA/QC software (qCal-MR) and the QIBA Profile," said Wissam Al Ghuraibawi, PhD, Manager of Medical Affairs and Clinical Scientist at Canon Medical. Dr. Al Ghuraibawi further added that "diffusion is such an important part of clinical MRI, we feel it is important to go through this process to demonstrate site and scanner performance." CaliberMRI and Canon Collaborate to Validate AI for more efficient, reproducible quantitative MRI with RSNA/QIBA Process Post this Mo Kadbi, PhD, Leader, Medical Affairs – MRI at Canon Medical, acknowledged "with the increased need for, and use of, AI/ML in imaging, we believe it is essential to integrate physical reference objects into our work. We anticipate working with other Canon Medical sites and CaliberMRI on QIBA Profile Conformance to help advance qMRI." "Canon Medical's approach to qMRI and QIBA Conformance is key to moving quantitative imaging to the clinic," says CaliberMRI CEO William Hollander. "We look forward to working with other sites in the future." To learn more about QIBA Conformance please contact CaliberMRI at [email protected].
