$12,100.00


The Canon Aplio 300 is a high-performance system that is based on the same platform as the other systems in Canon’s flagship Aplio Platinum series. The Canon Aplio 300 is designed to support a full range of applications and can be used as a general-purpose system or a specialized system, depending on the installed software. The Canon Aplio 300 Platinum with Canon’s well-known extensive selection of transducers supports a wide range of clinical applications including fetal, abdominal, intra-operative (abdominal), pediatric, small organs, trans-vaginal, trans-rectal, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, cardiac (both adult and pediatric), peripheral vascular, transesophageal, and musculo-skeletal (both conventional and superficial).

 

The Canon Aplio 300 Platinum has the very basic configuration among the Aplio Platinum series. Thanks to using the same platform, the Canon Aplio 300 has no limit to upgrade to the Aplio 400 Platinum and the Aplio 500. The standard package of the Canon Aplio 300 are as follows: 17-inch or 19-inch LCD monitor, DVD/CD drive, ApliPureTM, Quick Scan, TDI, QSP, HPRF, and DICOM Media Storage.

 

The Canon Aplio Platinum series were the top line products series before Canon launched the new Aplio i series in 2016. The Canon Aplio Platinum series share the same system architecture; therefore, all options could be used to the Aplio 300, 400, and 500. The user selectable key options are as follows: 4D for motor driven volume transducers and TEE transducer, Battery Kit, Smart Fusion, Smart Navigation Sensor, Smart Navigation, Wireless LAN, Stress Echo, 2D Wall Motion Tracking, CHI(Contrast Harmonic Imaging), CHI-Q, Parametric MFI, 4D STIC, Luminance, Fly Thru, Protocol Assistant, Super Micro Vascular Imaging (SMI), MicroPure, Elastography-FLR, Elastography, Shear Wave, Panoramic View, Vascular Index, Auto NT, and 1.5D Transducer support kit.

 

Apart from those all selectable options, the Canon Aplio Platinum series support total 47 transducers including sector, convex, 4D volume, linear, micro convex, TEE, and Pencil transducers. Among those 47 transducers, the Canon Aplio Platinum series support about 10 different intra-operative and biopsy enhancement transducers that improve clinical productivity in interventional Radiology.

Review

Canon Aplio 300 Platinum Review:

The Canon Aplio Platinum series share the system architecture; therefore, functions in a manner similar to and are intended for the same use. The systems are overall heavier and larger than newer GE and Philips products; however, the Canon Aplio Platinum series became stable and reliable due to the last 4 to 5 consecutive upgrades since its initial launch in 2012.

The Canon Aplio 300 Platinum lowers the price by removing its standard option, but still uses the same system architecture like the Aplio 500 Platinum and the Aplio 400 Platinum, which a user can enjoy a great fundamental image quality of those two higher grade systems. The Canon Aplio 300 is positioned as a high-end grade system, and holds a very good reputation in Radiology with a wide selection of intraoperative transducers, superb fundamental image quality, and outstanding and dedicated premium radiology options such as Smart Fusion, Shear Wave, and Contrast Harmonic Imaging (CHI).

The Canon Aplio Platinum series provide a number of clinical tools that provide wider clinical utilities and save scanning time by providing better visualization in a short time. The Superb Micro Vascular Imaging (SMI) is one that increases physician’s clinical productivity and diagnostic efficiency with better visualization of low-velocity blood flow. The MicroPure function is the function that increases comfort and confidence of diagnosis by better visualizing small structures such as a small calcification in breast. The Canon Aplio Platinum series support unique linear (PLT-308P) and convex (PVT-350BTP) transducers that much improve the needle biopsy procedure by offering the method that a needle can be inserted and visualized in the middle of transducer, not from the edge of a transducer.

The Canon products in general look like a technology oriented product, rather than a clinical oriented product. With this series, Canon has achieved fully digital beamforming technology, which is fully integrated into the Aplio Platinum series. The weight of each Platinum series is still high, above 320 lbs. The monitor size is 17-inches, but upgradable to 19-inches. Although the Canon Aplio Platinum holds good quality and reputation in Radiology, they still need to be improved in cardiology and OB/GYN’s workflow, automation, and 4D quality, comparing GE or Samsung products to satisfy customers.

FAQs

Canon Aplio 300 Platinum FAQs:

• ApliPure reduces ultrasound wave interface within tissues, which appear as speckle patterns or speckle noise on 2D images.

• ApliPure+ can display the boundaries between tissues more clearly and reduce speckle noise and acoustic shadows.

• Precision Imaging allows structures in 2D-mode to be displayed more clearly and the background to be displayed more smoothly.

• Tissue Specific Optimization (TSO) automatically compensates the reception focus.

• Biopsy Enhancement Auto Mode (BEAM) is a function to provide a clearer visualization of biopsy needles in the live ultrasound image. The function provides three enhancement levels and automatically selects the best scan angle.

• 2D Quick Scan enables to automatically optimize the gain and time gain control in 2D mode.

• 2D Wall Motion Tracking semi-automatically extracts wall motion data from the 2D speckle data of the left ventricular myocardial images to be analyzed, and displays the status of myocardial motion.

• Contrast Harmonic Imaging (CHI) is the function that enhances the visualization of vascular mapping with the second-harmonic wave signals from the microbubbles in the contrast medium.

• Parametric MFI allows temporal information to be displayed as a color map superimposed on the CHI-mode image (Contrast image for the period from the start of contrast medium reaches the target region).

• Stress Echo allows the user to perform exercise and pharmacological stress echo exams.

• Luminance is a surface rendering technique that provides a softer, more natural visualization of the human skin resulting in images of photographic impression on quality. The function’s freely movable light source gives the user strong visual feedback on depth and detail. Changing the position of the light can help the user better identify pathological changes and skin defects.

• Fly Thru is the function that enables the user to visualize cavities, ducts and vessels from the inside and in 3D. Comparable to virtual endoscopy, Fly Thru adds cross-sectional ultrasound information to the plain surface data, making it a tool for exploring lesions and ingrowing masses, as well as to assist in planning and follow-up of interventions such as placing stents or grafts.

• Protocol Assistant is a special function that allows for protocols to be created and executed automatically. These protocols can be edited and saves the user time.

• Smart Fusion is the function that allows synchronization of ultrasound scanning with CT/MRI image display. The image is adjusted according to the examination position determined using a magnetic sensor attached to the transducers.

• Smart Navigation is the function that allows a needle navigation line to be superimposed on the ultrasound image based on the positional relationship between the magnetic sensor attached to the transducer and the magnetic sensor attached to the puncture needle.

• Superb Micro Vascular Imaging (SMI) is the function that, with increased Doppler sensitivity, expands the range of visible blood flow and provides visualization of low velocity microvascular flow. SMI’s level of vascular visualization, combined with high frame rates, advances diagnostic confidence when evaluating lesions, cysts and tumors, improving patient outcomes and experience.

• MircroPureTM enables to better visualize small structures in 2D mode. This function shows good image quality for visualizing structures like small calcifications in breast.

• Elastography is the function that enables tissue stiffness to be visualized based on the changes in velocity resulting from physical compression and decompression of the target region.

• Shear wave is the function that allows images representing the speed of propagation of tissue replacement (Shear wave speed) to be visualized (Shear wave scan) by locally displacing tissues by transmitting a burst wave with high acoustic pressure.

• Smart Maps is the function that visualizes and quantifies shear wave propagation in a user-defined region of interest in real time. The user can select both dynamic propagation speed and elasticity displays for visual assessment and quantification.

• Panoramic View allows B/W images to be obtained with a wider field of view by moving the transducer in the lateral direction. Measurement using Panoramic View can be performed.

• FLEX-M is the function that allows any desired plane to be set on both the 2D-mode image and the M-mode image. The set plane can also be reconstructed.

• Auto NT is the function that semi-automatically measures the thickness of nuchal translucency between 12 to 14 weeks in the sagittal section.
