Angio
X-ray interventional angiography system
Infinix-i™ INFX-8000V biplane system
A biplane angiography system with multi-axis C-arm and 12" x 12" FPDs has been released. The C-arm has a flexible and wide range of movement, enabling excellent access to the patient's whole body. The system employs Toshiba's new image processing concept, New AIP（Advanced Image Processing), making it possible to acquire improved fluoroscopic images while maintaining a comfortable operating environment.
CT
Area Detector CT
Aquilion ONE™
The number of orders for Aquilion ONE™, which was exhibited for the first time in Japan at ITEM2008, has exceeded 100 systems, and it is being used in a variety of clinical applications worldwide. The application of Aquilion ONE™ in diagnosis has expanded to a variety of fields, including functional evaluation of the trunk, breast examinations, and orthopedic examinations.
Multislice CT
Aquilion™ 64 with Double Slice Technology
In addition to isotropic imaging, which has gained an excellent reputation for Toshiba multislice CT, a new image reconstruction method originally developed for Aquilion ONE™ is employed, making it possible to obtain 128 slices per rotation. New diagnostic application tools such as CT colonography and abdominal perfusion have also been developed, providing strong support for diagnosis leading to effective treatment.
MR
1.5T MRI system
Excelart Vantage™ powered by Atlas™
Last year, a paper concerning collaborative research carried out by Toranomon Hospital and Toshiba on non-contrast-enhanced MRA received a "Poster Award" at the Scientific Meeting & Exhibition of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. This is confirmation of the increasing global importance of non-contrast-enhanced MRA, which Toshiba has been pioneering. The clinical applications of the technique are also expanding, such as treatment of cognitive impairment using the data obtained from cerebrospinal fluid flow images, tumor diagnosis by observing cerebral perfusion, and diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries or renal arteries. The latest clinical results for non-contrast-enhanced MRA imaging will be presented.
In addition, activities carried out as part of business-academia collaborative research will be presented at the seminar. Dr. Okada of Kyoto University Hospital will give a lecture on the current status and future prospects of Toshiba 3T MRI.

Ultrasound system
Viamo™
Despite its compact design, this system is capable of the image quality found in high-end systems. This broadens the range of clinical environments in which it can be employed, including the operating room, treatment room, and wards. For the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism, which commonly occurs in hospital patients, there is an increased need for compact ultrasound systems, to be used in treatment rooms and wards as well as examination rooms.
A system for use in angiography rooms will be displayed at the booth.
Come and experience the high-quality images and easy mobility of Viamo™.
NM
PET-CT system
Aquiduo™
Toshiba's unique scanning method, in which the couch remains stationary and the gantry is moved, eliminates the fundamental problem of shifting positions between CT scanning and PET scanning. A comfortable examination environment is provided for the patient, who does not need to move during scanning.
For CT, a multislice Aquilion™ CT system, which has been operating at many sites, is used, permitting high-quality images to be obtained with a lower exposure dose. For PET, a high-definition LSO detector with better persistence characteristics is used, enabling high-quality, extremely accurate PET-CT images.
PACS
PACS
Rapideye Core™
The revised medical reimbursement system includes a newly created category "Addition of electronic image management", and the number of national health insurance points allotted to diagnostic imaging has been increased. Based on such changes, there is an increased need for PACS.
With Rapideye Core™, integrated management of still images and dynamic images can be performed, as well as storage and management of the ECG data (MFER format)/Windows® general file data. We have improved PACS from a single department system to an interdepartment system that allows seamless integration of multiple departments. At the exhibition site, the clinical data from each modality can be viewed on the monitor using the actual Rapideye Core™ server.
Visit the booth to experience the seamless interface of Toshiba PACS.
Service
Medical care systems are constantly improving. In order to use each modality system under optimal conditions and to introduce advanced applications as quickly as possible, Toshiba offers a variety of customer education programs. We will be introducing our customer support and training center with the latest facilities. Various educational programs are available for the customer using actual systems. In addition, we will present service solutions that ensure the best system performance, such as our remote support system and the TAC center.
