By combining years of product development with the newest advancements in digital PET technology, we’ve built a system that provides outstanding image quality at high speed, with precise quantification and reduced dose.
The integration of SiPM photosensors has led to new design approaches that influence image quality, scan duration, and dose efficiency—all contributing to improved patient care. Since there are multiple ways to build a PET detector using SiPM, achieving maximum impact requires more than simply incorporating the technology. Canon Medical has engineered the Cartesion Prime SP Digital TOF PET-CT detector to fully harness the benefits of SiPM photosensors while optimizing every aspect of the PET detector design—from coverage to cooling.

Key Specifications:

Canon Medical leads in the development of Deep Learning Reconstruction (DLR) for medical imaging, demonstrated by the successful launch of Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) for CT and MR. Now, AiCE for PET is also available on Cartesion Prime SP, supporting clinicians in achieving enhanced PET image quality across a broad range of imaging conditions.
AiCE yields superior performance by improving image quality and denoising PET images.

By centering every design decision around both the patient and the operator, the result is a better overall experience—with quicker, more comfortable scans and a more efficient workflow.
The Cartesion Prime SP PET-CT is built to enhance multiple facets of the patient experience, with a focus on ensuring comfort throughout the scanning process.
The scanner features a spacious 78 cm bore with a flared gantry design and a wide patient couch, providing a more open and comfortable setting. Its low minimum bed height allows patients to get on and off the scanner more easily and safely, especially when assistance is required.
Operators performing imaging procedures face challenges such as cumulative radiation risks and issues related to patient throughput.
Cartesion Prime SP integrates a range of features derived from technologies originally developed for the high-end Aquilion Prime SP CT scanner, specifically designed to help significantly reduce operator exposure dose.
* Optional
The Cartesion Prime SP allows for the installation of a Digital TOF PET-CT in smaller rooms and utilizes air cooling technology. These design elements help address common challenges associated with other digital PET systems that need larger spaces and water cooling to operate.
With a compact, lightweight system that enhances scan times and simplifies your workflow, you’ll be equipped to increase efficiency throughout every area of your business.
Harness the power of the Cartesion Prime SP system whenever and wherever it’s needed. Designed as mobile medical equipment, it enables high patient throughput while maintaining image quality, workflow efficiency, and patient safety.
Occupying only 22.4 m², Cartesion Prime SP is a space-efficient Digital TOF PET-CT system that fits within a compact installation area, giving you additional room to work.
Cartesion Prime SP utilizes Canon Medical's high-end Aquilion Prime CT, blending the most advanced PET technologies with the premium CT features that come standard on every scanner.
