The Aquilion One dynamic volume CT from TOSHIBA MEDICAL SYSTEMS gives physicians the ability to scan the entire organ (e.g. the heart, brain or liver) in one rotation and hence in a fraction of a second.
In neurology this system allows examination times to be shortened through volume acquisition, opens up new possibilities by its capacity to analyse dynamic processes and thereby reduces diagnostic risk.
Leading medical practitioners predict that the scanner will be particularly useful in cardiology, as it allows the entire heart to be captured live in just one heartbeat. In particular, the speed and stability of heart imaging are crucial to obtaining an optimal workflow and the best results.
