Aquilion Lightning 80
Trusted Performance. Smart Investment.
The Canon Aquilion Lightning 80 is an 80-detector row scanner that delivers.
Aquilion Lightning has been thoughtfully engineered to meet today’s economic challenges. The gantry design focuses on a smaller installation space. Innovative adaptive power management technologies decrease energy consumption while reducing your running costs and minimizing your environmental footprint.
We offer both new and refurbished options.
Key Specifications:
- PUREVISION 80 row 0.5 mm detector technology
- 90cm extended FOV
- 78 cm wide bore
- 47 cm wide patient table
- Table can be lowered to a min. ht. approx 1 ft.
Key Benefits:
- Sharp, clear and distinct images, enabled by Deep Learning Reconstruction
- Shifting from 64 to 80 detector rows with up to 160¹ slices with the Aquilion Lightning 80 results in shorter scan times and higher quality imaging.

CANON INDUSTRIAL CT
Aquilion Lightning 80
The Canon Aquilion Lightning 80 delivers trusted 160-slice CT performance with the throughput and image quality demanded by high-volume industrial inspection environments. Featuring a wide 78 cm gantry bore, 50 images per second reconstruction speed, and AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction integrated directly into the hardware platform, it provides the speed and resolution needed for production-scale non-destructive testing, with the option for mobile deployment when scanning must come to the component rather than the other way around.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
What this system is built for
The Aquilion Lightning 80 is built for industrial inspection environments that require high-throughput CT performance with reliable image quality, handling a broad range of component sizes and inspection protocols within a single efficient platform.
High-throughput production inspection
50 images per second reconstruction speed and a wide 78 cm bore enable rapid inspection cycles for large or high-volume manufactured components, supporting production-line NDT workflows without compromising image quality or defect detection sensitivity.
Large & medium component inspection
Wide-bore access accommodates large industrial components, aerospace structures, automotive assemblies, large castings, and pressure vessels that exceed the physical access limits of standard compact industrial CT systems.
Materials & failure analysis
AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction delivers high-contrast, low-noise images for materials characterization, weld inspection, and failure analysis, maintaining diagnostic detail in dense metallic samples where conventional reconstruction algorithms introduce noise and artifacts.
Mobile industrial deployment
Available on the Canon Mobile CT Solution platform, the Lightning 80 brings 160-slice capability to large manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and remote inspection locations where transporting large components to a fixed CT suite is impractical or impossible.
