All Your Needs in One Smart CT
uCT Orion Extra

The uCT Orion Extra integrates AI with CT technology to provide efficient, patient-focused scanning experience and exceptional image clarity. Beyond intelligent scanning, its robust hardware provides the power and reliability to meet diverse clinical needs. As a forward-looking investment, uCT Orion Extra is built for today's demands and tomorrow's value.

Redefining Workflows with AI

The intelligent workflow of the uCT Orion Extra offers patients and technologists a refreshing scanning experience that far exceeds expectations. With the innovative dual-camera uAI Vision seamlessly combined with multiple AI-powered algorithms, this scanning workflow not only elevates patient care to a next level but also markedly improves scanning efficiency.

uCT Orion Extra Keeps Image Quality on Track

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.

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.

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.
Quality Check for Chest

Quality Check for Motion

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.

uCT Orion Extra Guards Every Patient

The uCT Orion Extra's uAI Vision features two cameras, enabling real-time patient monitoring from two distinct views: top-down and close-up. It continuously monitors the patien'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 a potential patient-gantry collision is detected, an anti-collision message will appear 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 signals when potential ICH is detected, enabling fast triage of such patient and preserving valuable time for patient assessment.

Motion Freeze AI for the Suppression of Head Motion Artifacts

Patient head movement typically involves multiple motion patterns, which makes it challenging to obtain large datasets of head motion artifacts for training deep learning algorithms. To construct the training dataset, the Motion Freeze algorithm generates simulated artifacts on gold-standard images along the X, Y, and Z axes, encompassing rotation, translation, oscillation, and mixed motion patterns. 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.
