Aquilion Precision Veterinary CT System
More than Twice the Resolution of Today’s Veterinary CT Systems
Introducing the Canon Aquilion Precision, the world’s first Ultra-High Resolution CT (UHR CT) that redefines veterinary diagnostic systems by resolving anatomical details as small as 150 microns. This exceptional resolution, typically reserved for cath labs, now enhances veterinary CT, setting a new standard in image quality.
The UHR detector’s innovative design doubles the resolution of conventional technologies, with groundbreaking advancements in the tube, gantry, and reconstruction technologies.
The Aquilion Precision leverages Deep Learning Neural Networks in its CT reconstruction, utilizing AiCE (Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine) to produce images that are remarkably sharp, clear, and distinct. This advanced reconstruction method is built on the Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) algorithm, delivering 0.25 mm, 1024 matrix Ultra-High Resolution CT images with minimal noise.
We offer both new and factory-refurbished systems, ensuring a fit for a variety of veterinary diagnostic needs.

OVERVIEW
The pinnacle of veterinary CT imaging
The Canon Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition represents a new standard in veterinary diagnostic CT. Featuring a next-generation gantry and optical system, this platform leverages Canon’s latest Deep Learning Reconstruction technology (AiCE) combined with the PIQE 1024 detector matrix to bring clinical-grade precision and efficiency to veterinary imaging at every level of complexity.
Whether imaging a cat’s neurological structures or a large dog’s cardiac function, the INSIGHT Edition delivers consistent, high-quality results with dramatically reduced scan times, improving patient throughput and reducing the duration of anesthesia. Available in both new and remanufactured configurations to suit any practice size or budget.
Fastest rotation in class
.241-second minimum rotation enables cardiac and dynamic imaging previously not possible in veterinary CT.
320-row whole-organ coverage
16 cm z-axis captures entire organs like the brain, heart, and kidneys in a single rotation without table movement.
AiCE deep learning recon
AI-powered reconstruction delivers superior soft tissue contrast at reduced dose levels versus conventional algorithms.
INSTINX automated workflow
Automated scanning processes reduce variability and ensure consistent, repeatable exams across all staff levels.
