Canon Medical Systems USA Inc. is ushering in a new era of innovation in interventional imaging by introducing its next-generation of interventional systems—
the Alphenix platform. The new flagship platform of systems incorporates all-new features that enable clinicians to deliver images with clarity and precision without compromising workflow and while prioritizing low dose.
With the launch of the Alphenix family, Canon Medical is also unveiling its exclusive new Alphenix Hi-Def Detector (High-Definition Flat Panel Detector), which is available on the all-new Alphenix Biplane and Alphenix Core + systems. Made up of the world’s first high-definition detector— with 76 micron resolution— for resolving fine details, the hybrid 12-inch by 12-inch panel is combined with high-definition flat panel technology that results in resolutions of 2.6 lp/mm (standard) and 6.6 lp/mm (high-definition detector). The Alphenix Hi-Def Detector technology helps clinicians see finer details during complex interventional procedures such as stent positioning and stent apposition, wire and catheter navigation through the stent struts, and observation of coil deployment.
In addition to the new Alphenix Hi-Def Detector, the Alphenix family includes the following new features:

In addition to the new Alphenix Hi-Def Detector, the Alphenix family includes the following new features:
- Next-generation Illuvis technology to reduce image noise with less lag time, and provide clearer images at steep angles while delivering a decreased frame rate that can help reduce dose;
- Real-Time Auto-Pixel Shift to automatically correct misalignment between the contrast image and mask image during digital subtraction angiography and 2D roadmapping utilization; and
- (Optional) Tablet touch screen to optimize tableside workflow with simplified control functions and the option to assign “favorites” to customize the interface, per physician.
