With advanced hardware that meets a wide range of clinical needs, even challenging scans are performed with ease. AI integration elevates image quality to a new standard, giving radiologists greater diagnostic confidence. Designed for operational efficiency, the uCT Orion Elite helps lower daily costs while delivering lasting value.

Intelligent Workflow for Everyone

An intelligent scanning workflow brings benefits to both operators and patients. For operators, they can utilize technologies such as automatic positioning and parameter adjustment to perform scans efficiently and easily. For patients, the uCT Orion Elite employs AI to proactively detect potential imaging problems during scanning, delivering comprehensive care.

Efficiency-Driven Intelligent Scanning

Easy
Positioning

Based on 21 anatomical landmark detections, uAI Vision enables automatic identify the appropriate scan position based on the selected protocol. The technologist only needs a single click to position the patient.

Easy Scan Planning

uCT Orion Elite leverages deep learning to streamline workflow. Before the scan begins, it continuously monitors patient movement in real time to appropriately identify the starting line and scan range.

Easy Dose Control

uCT Orion Elite optimizes dose according to patient size, scan region, and exam type, recommending the appropriate kV and automatically modulating mA. AI-based organ recognition further enables individualized dose control for chest–abdomen scans.

Easy Post-processing

uCT Orion Elite offers a comprehensive suite of console-integrated post-processing applications that streamline workflow by automating repetitive steps and enhancing efficiency across clinical scenarios.

Patient-Centered Intelligent Scanning

The uCT Orion Elite's uAI Vision features two cameras, enabling real-time patient monitoring from two distinct views: top-down and close-up. It continuously monitors the patient's status throughout the scan, helping technologists quickly identify issues.

The system uses uAI Vision to proactively identify areas at risk of patient-gantry collisions. Once the risk of a patient-gantry collision is detected, the system promptly signals the technologist before table movement, thereby reducing the likelihood of collisions between the patient and the gantry.

This algorithm is designed for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) detection. It provides technologists with real-time reminders when potential ICH is detected, enabling clinicians to maintain heightened vigilance and preserve valuable time for patient assessment.

Intelligent Imaging with Quality check

To achieve a high scanning success rate and reduce the likelihood of patients being recalled for re - examination, uCT Orion Elite employs AI algorithms to provide real - time prompts during scanning. These prompts notify technologists of factors that may impact image quality, assist them in identifying possible scanning issues, and reduce the likelihood of patient recalls.

Quality Check for Chest

During chest scans, the AI-empowered quality check monitors the patient's breath-hold status. If the patient fails to hold the breath as required, the system triggers real-time prompts, which helps technologists efficiently confirm chest image quality and reduce patient recalls.

Quality Check for Motion

Based on AI technology, the uAI Vision in-bore detects patient movement. Once patient's motion is detected, it triggers real - time prompts, enabling technologists to stay vigilant about the patient's scanning status.

Quality Check for Metal

It automatically detects non-iatrogenic metal (such as belts, keys, necklaces, etc.) and accurately pinpoints their locations in the scout image. This can remind technologists to remove the metal objects, avoiding the generation of artifacts and enhancing image quality.

Unlocking Clinical Potential for Expanded Applications

Robust and reliable hardware supports the uCT Orion Elite across diverse clinical applications. Its stable system makes routine scans efficient and smooth while handling complex scenarios with ease. With powerful performance, it meets the demands of varied clinical applications, delivering exceptional value beyond expectations.

Handle Routine Scans with Ease

The high-performance hardware provides robust support for routine scanning. Utilizing the 80 slices Z-Detector's 0.55mm slice thickness and high sampling rate, the system produces high-quality images with sharp detail visualization. The advanced tube cooling design is well-suited for high-throughput scanning.

Turn challenging into routine

High tube heat dissipation enables the tube to sustain prolonged exposure during large-range scans, preventing interruptions from heat accumulation. With a maximum tube input power of 48 kW, the system delivers high-quality imaging even in demanding clinical scenarios, such as examinations of obese patients.

Release more clinical potential

uCT Orion Elite unlocks greater clinical potential. It supports ECG-gated coronary artery calcium score * for early heart disease assessment and enables dual-energy scanning* for visualization and compositional analysis of gout tophi. In addition, it offers four scan modes for interventional* imaging.

Motion Freeze: AI–Powered Head Motion Artifact Elimination for Clearer Brain Structures

Patient head movement typically involves multiple motion patterns, and no current algorithm can effectively eliminate the resulting artifacts. To establish a gold-standard dataset, the Motion Freeze algorithm simulates artifacts in the X, Y, and Z directions, including rotation, translation, oscillation, and mixed scenarios. By introducing diverse motion artifacts, this approach enables the trained network model to handle a broad spectrum of motion conditions.

Motion Freeze effectively suppresses head motion artifacts, providing a clear view of brain structures without obscuring lesions. By minimizing the need for repeated scans, it saves time, conserves resources, and avoids unnecessary radiation exposure for patients.
