Aquilion Prime SP Ankle Fracture

Aquilion Prime SP

66-year-old female, a CT scan of the right ankle was performed to follow-up a fracture. The Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) and 3D Volume Rendered demonstrate a partial articular fracture of the medial malleolus of the distal tibia with a fibular fracture. Calcaneus bone spurs are also demonstrated.

Aquilion Prime SP Left Hip Replacement

Aquilion Prime SP

84-year-old female, CT of the Pelvis was performed post hip replacement surgery. AIDR 3D, Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction and SEMAR, Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction were integrated into the scan protocol, the images were automatically reconstructed and transferred to the final destination. The Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) demonstrate a left hip prosthesis. The comparison images show reduced metal artifact in the SEMAR reconstruction. *AAPM Report 96, k-factor 0.015

Aquilion Prime SP Radius Fracture

Aquilion Prime SP

29-year-old male, a CT scan of the right wrist was acquired in 0.5 mm slice thickness. AIDR 3D enhanced, Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction was automatically applied to the scan ensuring diagnostic image quality. 3D Volume Rendered and Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) demonstrate a distal radius fracture.
