SCENARIA View Focus Edition - Overview

The 64ch/128slice CT system provides images with excellent visibility - even at low doses.

The content on this page is intended to healthcare professionals and equivalents.

Providing essential examinations to more people.

CT scans, which can examine the whole body in a short amount of time, are used in a wide range of situations, including diagnosis, treatment, and emergency situations, and are an indispensable part of today's medical field.
In order to provide patients in urgent situations with more accurate and faster imaging diagnosis.
Fujifilm's experience and AI technology make CT scans easier to use.

This is video introducing the main features of SCENARIA View Focus Edition, AutoPositioning, AutoPose, and Body StillShot.​

StillShot

Motion Correction Technology Supports More Accurate Clinical Diagnosis

Cardio StillShot
Reducing motion artifacts from heart movements with motion correction technology

In cardiac CT examinations, the various factors such as heart rate and heart movement affect image quality. With conventional image reconstruction methods, unfocused coronary arteries and artifacts caused by motion could occur, resulting in images not meeting the expected quality, which could affect the diagnosis. To help resolve these problems, Fujifilm developed Cardio StillShot, which calculates the direction and amount of movement of the subject in four dimensions based on RawData collected during cardiac CT examinations, and corrects it during image reconstruction to achieve an effective temporal resolution of up to 28 msec.*1
The effective time resolution contributes to improved diagnostic capability by providing high-definition focused clinical images with less motion artifacts even in patients with a high heart rate.

Example of applying Cardio StillShot to axial images of the heart. The left image shows Cardio StillShot OFF, while the right image shows Cardio StillShot ON. Cardio StillShot contributes to reducing artifacts caused by heart motion in coronary arteries.

Body StillShot
Applying the motion correction technology to the entire chest area

The motion correction technology that was previously applicable to cardiac CT examinations(ECG Scan) has been applied to body examinations  without synchronization to meet further clinical demands.Body StillShot provides images with minimal motion blur by maintaining the continuity of the body axis direction over a wide range when calculating the direction and amount of movement of the subject in four dimensions from the collected RawData. The use of an algorithm that does not require ECG data makes it easier to apply to routine examinations. It can also be used in combination with Intelli IPV*2, an image reconstruction technology developed utilizing AI technology, contributing to even higher image quality.

Intelli IPV
Low dose but High image quality

Intelli IPV is an image reconstruction technique developed with AI technology*3. Reconstruction processing has been speeded up by using images obtained through sufficient iterative processing as training data. Based on the Fujifilm's Visual Model, reconstruction processing using RawData brings the NPS(Noise Power Spectrum)closer to FBP(Filtered Back Projection)and keeps the image texture, even at a high noise reduction rate. It reduces image noise by up to 90%*4 and radiation exposure by up to 83%.*5 It also improves low contrast detectability by up to 2 times.*5

Achieved both radiation exposure reduction and visibility
Improved low-contrast resolution
Visual Model

A technology to control image noise and image quality through iterative processing based on Statistical, Object, and Physics Models.

There is the conceptual figure for Intelli IPV here.
Physics Model

Modeled after FBP, adjusting texture in equal ratio from high to low frequencies while reducing noise to achieve a texture similar to that of FBP.

Object Model

Models change in morphological information, and maintains structure considering shape, size, and position of the structure.

Statistical Model

Reduces noise through statistical consideration of noise originating from X-ray detection and noise in circuit systems.

Maintains a texture close to FBP

The noise frequency characteristics that affect visibility are now as close as possible to those of FBP while adjusting the texture in equal proportions from high to low frequencies.

There is a graph of normalized NPS for FBP image, conventional iterative reconstruction image and Intelli IPV image in each frequency band here.

  • *8 AutoPositioning is an option. Since this function assists in moving the patient table for positioning, the operator needs to perform the final positioning and manually using a light localizer.
  • *9 The scan range automatically calculated requires check and adjustment by the operator.

Reduced setup time

The captured scanogram image can be used to automatically set the scan range. This can be expected to be shorten the setting time. By using Fujifilm's automatic organ segmentation technology*9, which was developed utilizing deep learning, it contributes to the scan of a total of 14 types, including the head and chest. In addition, since the margin of the scan area can be set in advance, the scan area can be customized according to the operation of each facility. The operator can also check and adjust the automatically calculated scan area.

FUJIFILM Group's image processing technology
Support for efficient operations using a common platform

The image processing technology that Fujifilm has cultivated to date is also installed in the Operating Console of our CT system, enhancing the analysis functions. By simultaneously storing the reconstructed images in the Operating Console of our CT system and transferring them in parallel to SYNAPSE 3D, the waiting time from the end of the scan to the start of analysis can be shortened. In addition, it is possible to instruct our CT system to reconstruct images using RemoteRecon*10, which works in conjunction with SYNAPSE 3D. Even when our CT System is occupied with a scan, you can expect to see an improvement in the throughput of the analysis process.
