Canon Opens First Global Reference Site for Innovative Angio-CT Suite in France
France, Tuesday, 16 September 2025.
Canon Medical Systems has launched its advanced angio-CT suite in France, combining two novel CT systems to improve interventional radiology. This initiative enhances patient care by reducing procedural transfers and radiation dosages.
Enhancing Patient Care with Advanced Imaging
The angio-CT suite at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) of Montpellier in France represents a significant advancement in interventional radiology. It integrates the Alphenix 4D CT and the Aquilion One Insight Edition CT scanner, facilitating high-precision angiography and ultrafast volumetric imaging. This combination reduces the need for patient transfers and minimizes radiation exposure, thereby optimizing patient care and procedural outcomes [1][2].
Technological Innovation in Interventional Radiology
Canon Medical Systems’ introduction of the angio-CT suite aligns with the global trend towards digital transformation in healthcare. The modular design of the Aquilion One Insight Edition CT scanner allows for upgrades without complete system replacement, reflecting a shift towards more sustainable healthcare solutions. This modularity was highlighted during the Röntgenveckan 2025 event in Stockholm, Sweden, and further discussed at the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE 2025) annual congress [1][3].
Setting a New Benchmark in Radiology
By establishing the first global reference site for the angio-CT suite, Canon Medical Systems aims to set a new standard for image-guided care. The integration of advanced imaging technology in the suite is designed to enhance workflow efficiency and improve diagnostic accuracy, which is crucial for successful interventional procedures. As the reference site, CHU Montpellier will serve as a model for future deployments, emphasizing the importance of innovation in medical imaging [2][3].
Impact on the Global Healthcare Landscape
Canon Medical Systems’ launch of the angio-CT suite marks a pivotal moment in the integration of technology within healthcare. This development underscores the potential for advanced imaging systems to transform interventional radiology practices worldwide, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical workflows. The suite is expected to influence similar advancements globally, setting a precedent for digital health innovation [1][3].
