The detector channels are only 0.25 millimeters thick and significant improvements have been made to scintillator quantum efficiency, detector circuitry and other data acquisition system components. All of those factors provide better dose efficiency.

The Aquilion Precision is also equipped with the company’s new automated Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) technology, which reduces noise and maintains resolution. This is the first MBIR optimized for UHR CT.
