Alphenix
Overview
The Alphenix series, including models like INFX-8000V/B and INFX-8000V/S, is an interventional fluoroscopic X-ray system developed by Canon Medical Systems Corporation. It is designed to provide real-time X-ray imaging, primarily assisting clinicians during complex interventional procedures, particularly in cardiology. The Alphenix / Evolve Edition, for instance, integrates advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) through its “αEvolve Technology” to enhance image quality, improve safety, and increase efficiency in diagnosis and treatment. Key AI functionalities include αEvolve Imaging, which utilizes deep learning for noise reduction and multi-frequency processing to deliver sharp and clear fluoroscopic images, often achieving a higher contrast-to-noise ratio than conventional methods. Another significant AI feature is the Dynamic Device Stabilizer (DDS), which employs deep learning to automatically detect, magnify, and stabilize balloon markers in real-time, aiding in precise stent visualization and assessment. For structural heart disease procedures, Echo Fusion leverages deep learning to automatically identify echocardiography probes and seamlessly fuse fluoroscopic and echo images. The Alphenix 4D CT configuration further extends these capabilities by combining the angiography system with a CT scanner, offering AI-driven imaging and workflow intelligence for comprehensive diagnosis, planning, treatment, and verification in a single suite. The system is indicated for diagnostic and angiographic procedures involving blood vessels in various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, abdomen, and lower extremities.

What Physicians Need to Know
Leverage Alphenix's u03b1Evolve AI solutions, particularly Dynamic Device Stabilizer (DDS) and u03b1Evolve Imaging, for enhanced real-time visualization of stents and balloons during complex PCI, potentially reducing the need for digital acquisition and minimizing radiation dose. Utilize the Echo Fusion feature for improved guidance during structural heart disease procedures by seamlessly integrating echocardiography with fluoroscopy. Maximize the integration with QMAPP for comprehensive hemodynamic monitoring directly from the angiography suite, streamlining workflow and patient management. Explore the multi-modality fusion capabilities for pre-procedural planning and intra-procedural guidance using imported CT/MR data, especially for complex anatomies or LAA closure. The Hi-Def detector can be crucial for visualizing fine details in challenging cases.
Alphenix integrates with Canon Medical's Vital Vitrea advanced visualization software for comprehensive CT/MR cardiac analysis and planning. It also seamlessly integrates with the QMAPP hemodynamic monitoring system (a Fysicon B.V. product, a Canon group company) for real-time physiological data within the interventional suite. The system's Multi-Modality Fusion (MMF) allows for the overlay of 3D data from external CT, MRI, or angiographic systems. PIE Medical's 3D Quantitative Coronary Analysis (3D QCA) software is also available for integration, providing detailed coronary artery assessment.
