Whether you’re scanning adults or children, the Canon Aquilion Lightning 16 helps you work faster and more confidently.
Comfortable for all patients
The wide 780 mm opening and low couch height make exams easier for patients of all sizes. The couch goes as low as 312 mm, helping patients move from a wheelchair. Clear on-screen instructions and child-friendly visuals also reduce patient stress.

Fast and easy to use
The Canon Aquilion Lightning 16 is built to speed up your workflow. From scan planning to image review, the system guides the operator step by step. Real-time imaging lets you see results immediately, and up to 15 images per second are reconstructed without delay.
- Auto protocol selection based on age and anatomy
- Navigation Mode with helpful on-screen guides
Fast 3D image creation with one click
Lower dose, clear images
Using AIDR 3D, the scanner reduces image noise and cuts patient dose by up to 75%. SUREExposure 3D adjusts the dose during the scan to keep image quality high with the lowest possible radiation.
Advanced tools for better diagnosis
Built-in tools like SURESubtraction and SEMAR help remove bones or metal artifacts from images. This makes it easier to see blood vessels, implants, and soft tissue clearly. These features improve scan quality without adding time.

With a footprint of just 9.8 m², the Canon Aquilion Lightning 16 fits in small rooms. It also uses less power, helping reduce energy costs.
In short, the Canon Aquilion Lightning 16 offers smart imaging, easy use, and advanced features in a compact size. It’s a great choice for any facility needing a modern and reliable CT scanner.
