IQon Spectral CT

Certainty lives in layers

The IQon Spectral CT is the world’s first detector-based CT, delivering multiple layers of retrospective data in a single, low-dose scan. Fully integrated with your current workflow, this proprietary approach to CT delivers extraordinary diagnostic quality, empowering you to improve your clinical confidence and make the right diagnosis in the first scan. 

Drive your clinical performance

Discover exciting new analysis opportunities. Unique NanoPanel Prism detector design delivers conventional anatomical information and simultaneous color quantification and the ability to characterize structures, along with monoenergetic image information – all in one scan. Every scan can be spectral on-demand because the spectral data is always available.

Sustain image quality and dose management

Consistency in exam quality and patient care remains a priority. You have full access to all the dose-management tools you would normally have available in a conventional scanning mode. Tools like dose modulation are not discarded in order to perform spectral exams. 

Become a recognized clinical leader

Review prospective and retrospective spectral data analysis with traditional workflow. IQon Spectral CT presents an exciting new approach for collecting and using spectral CT data, which can set your institution apart. With this unique spectral diagnostic ability, you can be recognized as a clinical leader, and at the same time, a low-dose champion. 

Enable patient-centered imaging and retrospective analysis

iPatient enables personalized, patient-centered imaging with you in control of important advances in dose management and workflow. Retrospective spectral analysis is made possible through the iPatient platform, so you can experience Spectral CT without the need for any special protocols. 

On-demand, simultaneous analysis

Only IQon Spectral CT offers Spectral Magic Glass, enabling on-demand, simultaneous viewing and quick comparison of up to five different spectral results for a region of interest, including Monoenergetic, Iodine Density, Virtual Non-contrast, Iodine no Water, and Z Effective maps. 

Multiple spectral results, viewable on PACS 

The Spectral Magic Glass on PACS app** conveniently launches directly in the user’s PACS viewing setup. Spectral Magic Glass on PACS is only available with the IQon Spectral CT and offers a simple interface that integrates into your organization’s current workflow with little or no training. 

*In clinical practice, the use of IMR may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. Lower image noise, improved spatial resolution, improved low-contrast detectability, and/or dose reduction, were tested using reference body protocols. All metrics were tested on phantoms. Dose reduction assessments were performed using 0.8 mm slices, and tested on the MITA CT IQ Phantom (CCT183, The PhantomLaboratory), using human observers. Data on file.

**Spectral Magic Glass on PACS app is integrated with IntelliSpace PACS (iSite) and Sectra. In addition, we have completed ISP (SpDS) integration on several PACS and can make available upon request our open interface document to local hospital or PACS vendor IT in order to complete the Standard Integration.
