Provides perfect clinical freedom with floor-mounted or ceiling–suspended systems.
-Premium Capabilities – The Alphenix 4D CT
An Angiography CT system that seamlessly integrates the flexible Alphenix Interventional system with the advanced Aquilion CT imaging suite to create one versatile solution.
-Drastic dose reduction
Radiation exposure for clinicians and patients can be significantly reduced by replacing cine acquisition with fluoroscopy.
-An open upgrade path
Every Alphenix can be upgraded to latest platform through software updates*2.
Energy
Energy Saving Solution
-Complete Power Off
Flat panel detectors (FPDs) in most systems consume power even when system is off, contributing to significant energy waste over time. Alphenix eliminates this inefficiency with a complete power-off mode, consuming almost no energy *1 during downtime, advancing sustainability.
*1: 0.01kW
-Sleep Mode
The Sleep Mode offers energy savings by reducing power consumption by temporarily disabling some internal operations of the system. The Sleep Mode is automatically activated after 15 minutes of inactivity, or it can be switched on manually with one click/touch. Energy consumption can be reduced by up to 31% compared to normal standby modes with Sleep Mode*1. In emergencies, the system can instantly return to standby, ensuring that there are no delays in procedures while supporting optimal sustainability.

-Minimized cine acquisition frequency
αEvolve Imaging’s superb fluoro image quality reduces the frequency of cine acquisition, contributing to drastic energy saving.
-Optimize Image Quality while Reducing the Dose and Energy
Optimized radiation dose and reduced energy with advanced imaging chain.
-Weight/Space
Actual Space Savings
The Alphenix is designed to fit even the smallest rooms. Avoiding the need for renovations or reconstruction enhances hospital financial management of sustainability.
-Optimized for versatile use in multi-purpose labs
The Alphenix's unique 12-inch panel strikes the perfect balance, offering the compact size necessary for coronary use while still providing a wide enough field of view for various other treatments. This versatility ultimately helps enhance hospital management efficiency.
-It has an integrated monitor (Alphenix Unispot) for use in the control room, which means less monitors are needed for peripheral equipment.
-The cover surface is designed to be smooth and easy to clean.
-AI
Meaningful AI in daily procedures
αEvolve Technology, series of Alphenix features powered by artificial intelligence aims to provide various benefits to customers.
Drastic dose reduction
Dose rate for cine angiography is known to be up to 9-13 times higher than that of fluoroscopy*1. Therefore, radiation exposure for clinicians and patients can be significantly reduced if cine angiography can be replaced with fluoroscopy.
-Introducing Altivity, our bold new approach to AI innovation that uses smart technologies to make a whole new level of quality, insight and value across the entire care pathway possible. Designed specifically to address the growing complexities of interventional cardiology we developed αEvolve Technology. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence, αEvolve Technology provides innovative solutions to support high quality, safe and efficient diagnosis and treatment while improving the experience for patients and healthcare workers.

-Manufacturing
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
We are continuously focused on taking measures to reduce energy consumption at our offices, production sites, sales branches, and research facilities. These measures include the use of LED lighting and motion sensor lighting, as well as the introduction of solar panels on warehouse roofs. We also seek to use renewable energy, wherever possible.
The Energy Conservation Promotion Project reduces standby power consumption at our manufacturing facilities by approximately 1.19 million kWh (580 t- CO2) per year through changes in supply conditions, strengthening of air conditioning temperature control, and optimization of ventilation.
Our product manufacturing priorities are to source sustainable materials, reduce reliance on hazardous substances, and minimize resource consumption. Compliance with Canon’s Supplier Code of Conduct ensures alignment with our sustainability goals across the entire supply chain.
-Packaging / Logistics
Greening Transport, Distribution and Logistics
Canon Medical is striving to reduce the CO₂ emissions of product transportation through a modal shift from truck and air transportation to rail and ship transportation.
In addition, improved efficiency in logistics reduces CO₂ emissions during transit.
We are also focused on reducing the amount of packing materials used for transporting products by simplifying the packing process and decreasing the number of units for each system.
We have consistently improved our packaging efficiency while ensuring the safe delivery of products to our customers after shipment and local transportation. Introducing a new concept for equipment transportation, we have started using dedicated shipping containers, eco-friendly packaging material (biodegradable fibers, etc.) and only FSC certified wood.
-Longer Product Lifetime
