CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
What this system is built for
The Aquilion Lightning 80 delivers the performance and throughput needed for high-volume veterinary CT practices, combining a wide bore, fast reconstruction, and deep learning image quality in a system designed for the demands of daily clinical use.
High-volume routine imaging
50 images per second reconstruction speed and a wide 78 cm bore enable rapid patient throughput for practices managing high case volumes without sacrificing image quality or diagnostic confidence.
Large & small animal CT
Wide-bore access and flexible protocol design accommodate the full range of companion animal patients, from cats and small dogs through to large-breed dogs within a single system platform.
Neurological & orthopedic imaging
AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction delivers sharp, low-noise images for neurological and musculoskeletal studies, maintaining diagnostic detail even at reduced dose levels across routine and complex cases.
Mobile deployment
Available on the Canon Mobile CT Solution platform, the Lightning 80 brings 160-slice capability to practices that need CT flexibility across multiple sites or facilities without the cost of fixed installation at each location.
