Why trust Greenbot
Canon Medical Systems USA launches its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Automation Platform at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference in Chicago. These cutting-edge tools aim to simplify diagnostic processes and accelerate clinical decision-making. Using deep learning technology, this platform offers seamless, hands-off solutions to minimize routine tasks doctors face so they can prioritize patient care.
AI Automation Platform Packages Unveiled
The Automation platform contains three key packages. The Stroke CT Package is designed to analyze CT scans for signs of stroke. The Stroke MR Package, on the other hand, works similarly with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, helping detect stroke symptoms for quick triage and treatment. Finally, the Chest Pain CT Package spots life-threatening conditions like pulmonary embolisms and aortic dissections, allowing for prompt intervention.
“Canon Medical’s Automation Platform is designed to help healthcare providers focus on what matters most—patient care—by reducing the burden of routine tasks,” said Suresh Narayan, Managing Director of Enterprise Solutions and HIT Business at Canon Medical. “With AI-powered tools and deep learning technology, we’re making it easier for clinicians to make fast, confident decisions that can profoundly impact patient outcomes.”
The Automation Platform integrates seamlessly into existing hospital systems. One of their system, the Mobile DICOM Viewer, allows doctors to remotely access diagnostic images. Its integration with the platform helps them manage cases using just one app.
The platform will also send real-time notifications to alert clinicians within minutes of completing a CT scan. Critical cases are immediately flagged to ensure that urgent situations are not left unattended.
New MRI System and Platform Updates at RSNA
Aside from the Automation Platform, Canon Medical also showcased their Medical’s Vantage Galan 3T/Supreme Edition MRI system. The system makes use of the company’s Altivity AI tools to improve image quality and shorten scan times.
“Our new real-time platform and AI-driven enhancements deliver high-quality imaging and operational efficiency, helping clinicians meet the diverse needs of patients and healthcare facilities today,” said Mark Totina, Canon Medical’s magnetic resonance business unit director.
Canon Medical also announced updates to its flagship system, Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition. These upgrades aim to deliver sharper imaging with less radiation exposure. Radiologists will benefit from better imaging for advanced analysis while subjecting patients to fewer risks.
Their efforts underline the importance of AI innovating certain medical fields. Medical imaging has been a key driver of AI growth within the healthcare sector. According to a 2023 GlobalData report, global revenue for AI platforms in healthcare is projected to reach $18.8 billion by 2027. AI-assisted MRI contributes to more efficient diagnostic processes and leads to better outcomes.
