The Canon Aplio i series consists of the Aplio i900, Aplio i800, and Aplio i700. The new Aplio i series features a whole new design, more intelligent workflow, and more powerful new iBEAM digital architecture. The new Aplio i series has a more modern design than that of the old platforms, the Canon Aplio Platinum series, which are bulkier and heavier. The Canon Aplio i series is also more convenient thanks to the smaller and lighter system design and higher flexibility with over 36cm of panel height adjustment, lateral slide, and fully articulating arms. The system itself is compact, but its 23″ LCD monitor and 12.1″ touch panel are larger and functionally interactive so that they help improve scanning productivity and reduce fatigue from the repetitive scanning task.
The Aplio i900 is the top of line product from Canon. Canon has achieved a great reputation in the ultrasound industry by maintaining high standards in both image quality and functionality within Radiology. However, due to the lack of 4D matrix transducers and interventional cardiology options, Canon has revealed its limitation in cardiovascular applications. It seems that with the release of these 4D options with the Aplio i900, Canon enables to knock down the premium cardiovascular market; however, its reliability of 4D solutions and the quality of 4D images are not yet proven clinically. It is expected that more clinical testimonials and papers will be available in the near future.
The Canon Aplio i series integrated a new iBEAM digital architecture that highly enhanced fundamental processing quality compared to the old Aplio Platinum platform by re-designing both hardware and software. To achieve the system’s stability and productivity in the early stage of new product launch, many clinically proven technologies and settings on the Aplio Platinum series have been utilized. A notable achievement of the Aplio i900 is the 4D cardiac option, which differentiates the Aplio i900 from the Aplio i800. If you are in the market for a premium cardiac system from Canon, the Aplio i900 is recommended; however, for the use in radiology applications, the Aplio i800 with matrix convex or linear option would be good enough.
The key features of the Canon i900 apart from much enhanced 2D and Doppler performance based on the new iBEAM digital architecture and Canon’s outstanding matrix transducers such as i6SX1 and i18LX5 are an Automated Mitral Valve Assessment function and a wideband Volume TEE i6SVX2 transducer that enable to properly support interventional cardiac procedures such as Mitral Valve Replacement. The utility and functionality of these two options has been clinically proven to allow for better surgical planning by both the Philips CX50 and iE33 for a last decade. At present, the Philips EPIQ 7 shows better automation and performance that those of the CX50 and iE33.
