Our iterative reconstruction method, Intelli IPV*1, provides images which maintain their natural texture even at high noise reduction rates and their excellent visibility even at low doses, and does not require a dedicated operation room or additional hardware.
Furthermore, by applying a low dose, the anode heat capacity is equivalent to 45 MHU (converted value).
Achieving natural visibility with dose reduction
While adjusting the texture at a uniform ratio from high frequency to low frequency, the physical properties that affect visibility are made as close as possible to FBP.
Visual Model
The Visual Model is a technology that controls image noise and image quality by iterative processing based on statistical model, object model, and physics model.
Object Model
Models morphological information changes to control the size, shape and position of a structure.
Physics Model
The Physics Model is a technology that uses FBP as a model and reduces noise while adjusting the texture from high frequencies to low frequencies at a uniform ratio, achieving a texture close to that of FBP.
Statistical Model
Noise reduction is performed by statistically evaluating X-ray-derived noise and circuit system noise.
Improvement of Low-contrast Detectability
Intelli IPV significantly reduces noise and improves low-contrast detectability while maintaining image texture quality especially in the head region where low-contrast detectability is important.
IntelliEC Plus (combination of auto exposure control and iterative reconstruction)
The tube current is continuously modulated in 3D direction to obtain an image that achieves the target SD.
