Blackpool, Wednesday, 2 July 2025.
Canon Medical’s latest CT technology aims to revolutionize cardiac diagnostics, benefiting over 7.6 million UK residents with heart ailments by improving imaging precision and treatment outcomes at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
Introduction of Advanced Imaging Technology
On July 2, 2025, Canon Medical Systems UK announced the installation of their latest Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition CT scanner at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. This development marks a significant milestone in the hospital’s cardiac care capabilities, enabling more precise diagnostics and treatment for complex cardiac cases [1].
Impact on Cardiac Care
With the introduction of this advanced technology, Blackpool Victoria Hospital can now scan approximately 4,500 patients per month, accommodating over 50 cardiac patients weekly. This contributes to reducing the pressure on existing medical facilities and enhances the overall healthcare delivery system [1].
Technological Advancements
The Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition scanner boasts four times the resolution of previous models and a rapid rotation time of 0.24 seconds, allowing it to capture whole heart images within a single heartbeat. This is particularly beneficial for patients with complex arrhythmias, providing a clearer and quicker diagnostic path [1][2].
Broader Implications for Healthcare
This deployment represents a strategic alignment with the evolving needs of the UK population, particularly as the prevalence of heart and circulatory diseases continues to rise. As Blackpool Victoria Hospital integrates these cutting-edge imaging solutions, it paves the way for higher standards in patient care and operational efficiency, while demonstrating the hospital’s commitment to embracing technological advancement [2][1].
