India’s first uCT Orion Elite CT scanner with calcium scoring comes to Delhi by City Imaging & Clinical Labs

Patients in Delhi can now access the uCT Orion Elite, an 80-slice AI-enabled multi-slice non-cardiac CT system installed at City Imaging & Clinical Labs’ Dwarka centre. The installation marks the first CT system from United Imaging to be introduced in the country. The system combines DELTA, a deep-learning algorithm, with Karl3D hybrid iterative reconstruction to enhance image quality. It also features Motion Freeze AI technology to reduce blurring caused by head movement, dual AI cameras to assist with patient positioning and monitoring, and automated image-quality checks. The system also supports ECG-gated calcium scoring.

Remaining still during a CT scan can be difficult for children, elderly patients and people experiencing pain or discomfort. The scanner’s Motion Freeze technology is designed to correct different types of head movement, including rotation, translation and oscillation, helping reduce motion-related artefacts that can affect image clarity. Based on deep-learning technology, the algorithm is designed to correct movement-related distortions and support clearer images.
