The Aquilion One is a next-generation 640-slice CT scanner that offers the latest in medical technology for superior imaging power. The scanner ensures unsurpassed visualization of vessels and tissue structures, thereby providing doctors with all the information they need to make more confident identifications.

The 640-slice CT scanner uses 80% less radiation than conventional scanners. The radiation dose is significantly lower because of dose-modulating technology, which adjusts the dose for each patient based upon coverage area, BMI, etc. Because of the low radiation dose, the scanner is safer for patients and especially suitable in pediatrics. Scans require less radiation, improving overall patient safety.

Among the scanner’s many other benefits is the 78-centimeter wide bore, which ensures that patients remain at ease during scanning and feel comfortable without experiencing any stress. The wide-open bore can also accommodate larger patients who may not fit in conventional scanners1,2.

A Body Scan at Advanced Longevity is performed from the neck down covering the entire torso and major organs in the body, including the heart, lungs, liver, etc. The actual scan takes less than 10 minutes, is very quiet, non-confined, with no dye (contrast), and no need to change out of street clothes4.

A 640-slice CT scanner provides extremely detailed images, allowing for the early detection of various diseases and conditions, including:

• Coronary artery disease (plaques, blockages)
• Aneurysms (aortic, cerebral, etc.)
• Peripheral artery disease
• Heart valve abnormalities
• Structural heart defects

• Early-stage lung cancer
• Pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs)
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Pulmonary fibrosis
• Pneumonia or infections

• Early detection of solid tumors in the lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and other organs
• Metastatic disease
• Lymphoma
• Adrenal tumors

• Stroke risk assessment (carotid artery narrowing)
• Brain tumors
• Brain aneurysms (if scanned)

Ultrasound technology is used to detect a wide range of medical conditions. Some of the most common conditions detected using the aid of ultrasound include:

1. Cardiovascular Conditions

• Heart Disease (Echocardiography) – Evaluates heart function, valve abnormalities, and congenital heart defects.
• Aneurysms – Detects abnormal dilations in arteries, such as aortic aneurysms.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – Identifies blood clots in deep veins, usually in the legs.
• Carotid Artery Disease – Assesses blood flow and detects plaque buildup in the carotid arteries, reducing stroke risk.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – Detects blockages or narrowing in arteries of the limbs.

• Ischemic strokes (chronic infarcts, vascular territories)
• Hemorrhagic strokes (bleeding, microbleeds, hematomas)
• Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) effects
• Cerebral small vessel disease (white matter hyperintensities)
• Aneurysms (if large enough)

• Ischemic strokes (chronic infarcts, vascular territories)
• Hemorrhagic strokes (bleeding, microbleeds, hematomas)
• Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) effects
• Cerebral small vessel disease (white matter hyperintensities)
• Aneurysms (if large enough)

• Gliomas, astrocytomas, meningiomas
• Pituitary tumors & microadenomas
• Metastatic brain tumors
• Acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas)

• Hydrocephalus (enlarged ventricles)
• Chiari malformation (brainstem compression)
• Cysts & benign lesions

1.5T, wide bore opening with Pianissimo™, Canon Medical’s acoustic noise reduction technology, the gradient coils are vacuum-sealed to reduce the acoustic noise propagation by 90% compared to conventional Canon Medical MRI scanners. This makes examinations quieter and reduces the burden imposed on patients3.

A high-performance MRI system like the Canon Vantage Fortian allows for early detection of numerous conditions covering the neck and brain, without contrast. Below is a list of diseases and abnormalities that can be detected:

Brain & Neurological Conditions:

• Brain Tumors (larger and well-differentiated masses)
• Aneurysms & Vascular Malformations (limited detection without contrast but can identify larger anomalies)
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (white matter changes)
• Stroke (Ischemic & Hemorrhagic) (acute and chronic infarcts, hemorrhages)
• Hydrocephalus & Brain Swelling
• Brain Atrophy (early Alzheimer’s, dementia-related shrinkage)
• Pituitary Tumors & Other Growths
• Cystic Lesions & Structural Abnormalities
• Chiari Malformation & Spinal Cord Compression
