Toshiba America Medical Systems

Toshiba America Medical Systems (Booth 859) is highlighting Aquilion One, a dynamic volume CT system, which can scan an entire organ, including the heart, in a single rotation because it covers up to 16 cm of anatomy using 320 high-resolution 0.5 mm detector elements.

The Aquilion One allows physicians to see a 3D depiction of the organ, and also the organ’s blood flow and function for the first time. Capturing the organ in a single rotation at one moment in time eliminates the need to reconstruct slices from multiple points in time.

Toshiba is showcasing its ^SURECardio Prospective helps reduce patient radiation dose by up to 80 percent during coronary CTA exams by using a helical acquisition technique to provide one continuous image instead of multiple images produced by the current step-and-shoot technique. ^SURECardio Prospective automatically adjusts to patients with irregular heartbeats. ^SURECardio Prospective automates scan parameters and reconstruction based on the patient’s heart rate.

Toshiba also is highlighting its vascular x-ray offerings, the Infinix-i product line. The product line offers head-to-toe imaging capabilities with a variety of configurations to meet every patient’s need while providing low radiation dose and high quality images. The Infinix-i systems also offer unprecedented patient access and automated features to provide the best possible care to the patient.
