Canon Medical Introduces Alphenix Sky 12 HD With 12- X 12-Inch Hi-Def Detector

September 12, 2023—Canon Medical Systems Corporation announced it is introducing 12- X 12-inch high-definition detector technology for the Alphenix Sky 12 HD interventional system with the company’s high-resolution HD 76 Hi-Def detector, providing clinicians with clarity and precision during interventional procedures.

According to the company, the HD 76 provides more than twice the spatial resolution of conventional flat-panel detectors to help clinicians see fine details in complex interventional procedures.

The new Alphenix Sky 12 HD with 12- X 12-inch Hi-Def detector can help improve visualization during interventional cardiology, interventional neurology, interventional oncology, and interventional radiology procedures, including pediatric procedures.

“Being able to use Hi-Def to accurately deploy cardiovascular devices adds to the proceduralist’s confidence and is huge in achieving a successful result and better patient outcome,” commented Barry Bertolet, MD, in Canon’s press release. Dr. Bertolet is an interventional cardiologist at the Cardiology Associates of North Mississippi in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Canon further noted that the Sky 12 HD expands the Alphenix family by adding 12- X 12-inch Hi-Def detector to its existing 12- X 16-inch Hi-Def detector. These options now provide clinicians the ideal size for their unique procedural needs, complementing the existing lineup of Alphenix Sky+, Alphenix 4D CT, Alphenix Biplane, and Alphenix Core+ systems.
