Changes Patient Pathways by Improving Workflow, Image Quality and Safety
Clinicians can provide their patients with cardiac solutions with
Toshiba’s Aquilion™ ONE ViSION Edition CT system. The system is capable
of aiding clinicians in diagnosing patients presenting with chest pain.
“We understand our customers’ business and deliver diagnostic imaging
solutions that help them achieve the Triple Aim of reform for cardiac
care,” said Satrajit Misra, senior director, CT Business Unit, Toshiba.
“The fast rotation speed, large coverage area and Adaptive Diagnostics
technologies deliver excellent image quality and more efficient
workflow.”
The Aquilion ONE ViSION Edition and its new PURE ViSION CT
Detector provide unique benefits for cardiac care:
-
Images the Heart in a Single Rotation: Produces high-quality
images and fast workflow by capturing the entire heart in one rotation
with 640 slices
-
Accommodates More Patients: Can image bariatrics and those with
high heart rates with a gantry rotation of 0.275 seconds and a large
bore (78 cm)
-
Captures Anatomy and Function: The system’s lesion
visualization and myocardial perfusion capability allow clinicians to
visualize and quantify myocardial ischemia with a single CT exam
-
Safer Exams: Ensuring that CT dose and safety is not a choice
clinicians have to make, Toshiba’s third-generation iterative dose
reconstruction software, AIDR 3D, offers simplified dose reduction
that produces the image quality needed for diagnosis at low dose
Toshiba will showcase the Aquilion ONE ViSION Edition at this year’s
American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting in San Diego, March
14-16, 2015 (Booth #1916).
