Aug 31: Time Medical International Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fischer Medical Ventures Limited, marked an important milestone in advancing medical imaging technology in India with the launch of its CLARION 64/128-Slice High-Performance AI-Driven CT System at the India Health Expo 2026. The system was formally launched by Dr. Sunil K. Khetrapal, Deputy Director General, Association of Healthcare Providers India, in the presence of healthcare leaders, industry representatives, and stakeholders from across the sector.
The launch reflects TMIV Imagings’s continued focus on bringing advanced, intelligent, and clinically relevant imaging technologies to the Indian healthcare ecosystem. The CLARION CT platform combines high-performance imaging hardware with AI-driven workflow capabilities to support greater diagnostic precision, operational efficiency, patient throughput, and reliability across a broad spectrum of clinical applications.
At the heart of the system is an advanced Liquid Metal Bearing X-ray tube with 360° liquid metal cooling, designed for superior heat dissipation, stable focal spot positioning, continuous high-speed operation, and extended tube life. Its Aegis Detector System is engineered to enhance image clarity and low-contrast detectability while supporting low-dose imaging protocols.
The platform further incorporates intelligent workflow capabilities including three-click scanning, AI-assisted automatic patient positioning using a quad-lens depth camera, and remote-control functionality, helping simplify CT operations and improve workflow efficiency.
Available in scalable configurations extending up to 128 slices, the CLARION platform addresses requirements ranging from routine diagnostic imaging to advanced cardiac, vascular, neurological, thoracic, abdominal, orthopaedic, and interventional applications. The 64-slice configuration with a 91 cm bore expands its suitability for vascular imaging as well as intraoperative applications, while the 128-slice configuration supports advanced clinical procedures requiring higher temporal resolution.
Beyond conventional diagnostic imaging, CLARION has been designed to extend CT into the interventional and surgical environment. Its Big Bore CT-on-Rail configuration enables mobility between clinical scenarios and supports hybrid operating room integration, real-time surgical imaging, procedural guidance, and Angio CT integration with DSA. Advanced capabilities such as 4D CT phased acquisition can also support respiratory monitoring and improved tumor targeting during radiotherapy by helping reduce motion-related artifacts.
The launch was graced by Dr. Sunil K. Khetrapal, a distinguished healthcare administrator and policy advocate with more than three decades of experience spanning hospital management, healthcare strategy, quality systems, institutional transformation, and patient safety. In his role as Deputy Director General of AHPI, Dr. Khetrapal has been closely associated with initiatives aimed at strengthening collaboration among healthcare providers, regulators, and other stakeholders while advancing quality, accreditation, digital adoption, and sustainable healthcare delivery across India.
His presence at the launch was particularly significant as healthcare in India moves towards greater adoption of intelligent technologies that can strengthen diagnostic capacity while simultaneously addressing the need for efficiency, accessibility, quality, and patient safety.
With the introduction of the CLARION 64/128-Slice AI-Driven CT System in India, TMIV Imaging reinforces its commitment to building a comprehensive medical imaging ecosystem that brings together advanced engineering, artificial intelligence, intelligent clinical workflows, and application-driven innovation. The launch represents another step towards enabling healthcare institutions to deliver faster, more precise, efficient, and technology-enabled diagnostic and interventional care across India.
