Cutting-Edge CT Technology
at Nawaloka Radiology Centre

At Nawaloka Hospital, we continuously strive to provide the best diagnostic care. Our state-of-the-art Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition CT scanner is now powered with advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovations, designed to enhance the precision, clarity, and diagnostic power of your CT scans. Featuring three groundbreaking technologies from our Altivity suite — Precise IQ Engine (PIQE), Advanced Intelligent Clear IQ Engine (AiCE), and Deep Learning Spectral Reconstruction — this scanner offers unmatched image quality and accuracy.

Precise IQ Engine (PIQE)

Super-Resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction for CT Imaging

The Precise IQ Engine (PIQE) revolutionizes CT imaging by using deep learning to enhance the resolution of cardiac images, particularly in challenging cases such as coronary artery visualization in stents and heavily calcified vessels. With PIQE, the scanner produces high-quality, sharp images without compromising on temporal resolution, noise, or radiation dose. This enables clinicians to get accurate images with lower exposure to radiation, improving patient safety while enhancing diagnostic capabilities.

Key Benefits:
  • Improved visualization of coronary arteries, even in complex cases.
  • Superior image sharpness without increasing radiation dose or scan time.
  • Enhanced clarity for cardiac imaging, allowing for better assessment of heart function and vascular health.

Advanced Intelligent Clear IQ Engine (AiCE)

AI-Driven Image Enhancement for Clearer, More Accurate Diagnostics

AiCE is an advanced AI-powered image reconstruction algorithm that uses deep learning to eliminate noise and artifacts from CT scans. This results in clearer and more precise images, providing clinicians with a higher level of confidence in their diagnoses. AiCE works seamlessly across various body regions, ensuring sharp and accurate images even at lower doses of radiation, improving patient safety without sacrificing diagnostic quality.

Key Benefits:
  • Noise reduction for high-quality images in challenging clinical cases.
  • Low-dose CT imaging without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
  • AI-powered clarity that improves accuracy in detecting conditions such as tumors, vascular abnormalities, and bone fractures.

Deep Learning Spectral Reconstruction (DL-SR)

Innovative Technology for Enhanced Image Reconstruction and Precision

Deep Learning Spectral Reconstruction (DL-SR) combines AI and advanced reconstruction algorithms to provide clear, multi-energy images, even in complex and dense anatomical regions. This technology allows for enhanced visualization of soft tissues, bones, and blood vessels by optimizing the photon energy spectrum. It provides a more comprehensive view for better diagnosis and reduces the need for additional imaging exams.

Key Benefits:
  • Better tissue characterization for improved diagnosis, especially in oncology and cardiovascular imaging.
  • Enhanced contrast resolution for clearer images of complex tissues and structures.
  • High-quality multi-energy imaging that provides more information from a single scan.

SilverBeam Filter

Optimized Imaging for Lung Cancer Screening

The SilverBeam filter is an advanced beam-shaping energy filter that selectively removes low-energy photons from the X-ray beam, optimizing the energy spectrum for specific clinical applications. In lung cancer screening, the SilverBeam filter allows for high-resolution CT imaging at a radiation dose equivalent to that of a standard chest X-ray. This makes lung cancer screenings safer, faster, and more effective, allowing for earlier detection without overexposure to radiation.

Key Benefits:
  • Significantly reduces radiation exposure during lung cancer screenings.
  • Enhances image quality for better detection of early-stage lung cancer.
  • Provides high-resolution imaging for more accurate assessment of lung tissue.

With these groundbreaking AI technologies, the Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition CT scanner offers unparalleled imaging performance, ensuring that Nawaloka Radiology Centre remains at the forefront of medical innovation and diagnostic excellence. Our commitment to utilizing the latest advancements in healthcare technology allows us to provide the highest standard of care for our patients.
