TOSHIBA Top Page

95th Radiological Society of North America (RSNA2009) is opened at 29 November.
The theme of annual meeting is "Quality Counts".
At the opening session, the importance of improvement of safety and quality for radiologic care was emphasized.

At this year, the exhibition theme of TOSHIBA is "Productivity for tomorrow".
TOSHIBA continues to offer high clinical values with advanced technology and meet the customer's requirement.
TOSHIBA showcased high magnetic field MRI, Computed tomography, Angiography system, Diagnostic Ultrasound system, with the latest clinical applications including the works in progress ones.
TOSHIBA introduced various solutions which increase patient comfort and productivity.

Aquilion ONE™
Toshiba demonstrated the Aquilion ONE™ stroke workflow. Whole brain cerebral blood flow analysis and dynamic intracranial DSA is performed in just four minutes and half from the start of the scan to the display of the images. Since time to diagnosis is critical to the stroke patients, the fast workflow directly improves the outcome for the patient.

Aquilion ONE™ for Pediatric
The Aquilion ONE™ for pediatric patients was exhibited with the child-friendly looking gantry decoration and accessories suitable to chidren. Its ability to capture up to 16 cm in a single rotation decreases the amount of radiation dose and reduces the need for sedation.

Aquilion™ CX edition for U.S market
The Aquilion™ CX edition features a fast reconstruction speed of 28 images per second, patient couch accommodating up to 660 lbs and coneXact technology which have migrated from the Aquilion ONE™. With these new features, the system can image a wide range of patients from pediatric to bariatric for various clinical applications.

Demonstration consoles
We exhibited not only the demonstration consoles for Aquilion ONE™ and Aquilion™ CX system but also the Vitrea fX(*1) and Vitrea 2(*1) workstations, Interactive panels describing our SURETechnologies as well as showcasing clinical images from all systems were well utilized by customers.

Vantage Titan™ 3T(*2)
We had exhibited the "Vantage Titan™ 3T(*2)" with the largest patient aperture of 71cm diameter as FDA pending and impressed customers as Toshiba's concept of "Open Bore". This system installed with latest clinical applications will meet customers' needs.

Vantage Titan™ 3T(*2)
This system possesses the magnetic homogeneity technology "Conform" and transmission uniformity technology Multi-Phase Transmission. And also has Pianissimo™, Atlas SPEEDER™ technology same as the 1.5T system. It enables current clinical applications for the 1.5T system to perform easily, especially the data acquision of non-contrast MRA for Whole Body assuming very difficult in conventional 3T system.

Vantage Titan™ (1.5T)
"Vantage Titan™" with the largest patient bore of 71cm diameter had been evaluated as one of Best Award for MRI 1.5T Section in 2009 by KLAS, the third party, market investigation organization in the U.S. Customers suggest us its possibility applicable to orthopedic region and the combination with the medical treatment.

Vantage Titan™ 3T(*2)
As already described, "Vantage Titan™ 3T(*2)" has the largest patient aperture of 71cm diameter. But it will be installed same as usual without additional space which demonstrates growing market demand for improving patient care.

Infinix™ VF-i INFX-8000V
TOSHIBA's next step in Advanced Image Processing Technologies including the new digital processor provides low noise in DSA imaging in traditionally high noise regions such as the cranium and diaphragm. The newest software also introduces new useful functions for Neuro. These new functions assist doctors to better visualize the small devices they place in the head during complex Neuro interventional procedures.

Infinix™ VF-i INFX-8000V
Infinix™ VF-i INFX-8000V BP system was displayed with the unique optimal FPD combination (Frontal - 30x40cm / Lateral - 30x30cm). This is the only system available with FPD sizes optimized on frontal plane for Neuro. Abdominal and Peripheral vascular examinations, and the lateral plane FPD size is optimized for Neuro examinations, because the lateral plane is used mainly in biplane mode for Neuro imaging. This optimal FPD sizing provides optimal C-arm angulations even in biplane mode, and optimal Field-Of-Views for universal use.

Infinix™ VF-i INFX-8000V
The new tilt cradle table enables not only tilting, but also the new rolling function, where the right or left side of the tabletop can be raised or lowered. Rolling allows gravity to help procedures, for example to start an aortic stent graft examination, a roll position can be used to move a large patient's gut away from the femoral artery where the doctor needs to place introducing sheaths for the procedure.

RADREX™-i
RADREX™-i was released in the U.S market from 2007, and in a short time has had vast success. The mixed system with 1 fixed and 1 portable FPD displayed at RSNA2009 was further enhanced with new work flow improvements and patient information management enhancements, such as the use of a barcode reader to quickly enter all related patient data into the system. RADREX™-i is an advanced, low dose DR system. The RexView in room 3 second image display is enhancing productivity, performance and patient care for users of RADREX™-i.

The ultrasound corner was fairly crowded with customers during this exhibiton. Most remarkable exhibits were Viamo™ and Aplio™ MX showed first in the U.S.

Aplio™ MX
Aplio™ MX, the newest system with the lightweighted, compact body developed as Environmentally Conscious Products.(cf.)lower weight by 32 percent, decreased capacity by half) "Precision Imaging" depicted clearly the structure or invasion of disease. "Elastography" enables to represent stiffness tumor of mammary grand. "MicroPure™" cleared micro calcifications in the tissue. We introduced the above several clinical applications and superior 4D images.

Viamo™
Viamo™ ,the premium portable ultrasound system with the premium image quality. The superior image quality, direct operational demonstration by the touchscreen, varied Viamo™'s cart suitable to several purpose were introduced. And they were also exhibited in combination with the Angiography system, CT system as the actual use example for hospitals.

Many hanging Viamo™'s posters strongly attracted visitors whenever they had moved for any other place.
