CT

The Aquilion 64 is designed to offer physician’s greater diagnostic capabilities which help patients avoid more invasive medical procedures. The system delivers clinical images with multi-slice imaging technology that captures up to 64 anatomical slices in a single rotation. In addition, the system’s sensitivity and accuracy are enhanced with a process called isotropic scanning, which results in images that most accurately capture equal views and angles of internal structures. As a result, Toshiba’s multi-slice technology captures precise images of the body’s rapidly moving organs like the heart and lungs, which may appear blurry when scanned by a traditional CT. Multi-slice imaging also is especially useful for examining patients who are unable to hold their breath, like trauma victims, acutely ill patients and young children. Furthermore, the Aquilion family of premium CT systems has received numerous accolades including the number one ranking in CT from MD Buyline for the past eight years. Aquilion CT systems also feature Toshiba’s proprietary Quantum detector technology – the only detector able to acquire 64 0.5mm slices simultaneously.
