Fujifilm Launches Premium CT Scanner With Cardiac Motion Correction in US

FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation launched the SCENARIA View Focus Edition Computed Tomography (CT) system, a premium scanner with an advanced Cardiac Motion Correction feature, called Cardio StillShot, in the US. The company says Cardio StillShot enables 6x higher temporal resolution compared to conventional image reconstruction methods by detecting and correcting motion in the heart.

The system, designed for routine and advanced clinical applications such as coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), interventional CT, extended coverage shuttle scanning for perfusion exams, and dual energy examinations, will be introduced at RSNA 2022.

When heart rates rise above 75 BPM, the imaging time window becomes too short and can cause non-diagnostic images. Dependable detailed imaging of the coronary arteries requires high temporal resolution. Fujifilm’s Cardio StillShot feature helps clinicians capture clear images of the heart - even on the most challenging heart rhythms by simultaneously acquiring two data sets in the scan. These data sets are then compared against each other to detect and correct motion. The final images have an effective temporal resolution of just 28 milliseconds, compared to 175 milliseconds without Cardio StillShot.

“Providers need a powerful CT system that gives them the diagnostic confidence to make the right treatment decisions for their patients,” said Mark Silverman, director of marketing for CT, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “Fujifilm’s SCENARIA View Focus Edition makes this possible through the convergence of high temporal resolution, enhanced work􀀃ow that reduce examination time, and advanced dose reduction capabilities.”
