Designed to offer breakthrough technology and expand applications Aquilion 32, with the innovative Quantum 64 detector, is the only 32-slice CT system, capable of scanning isotropic slice width at 32 slices per rotation.
Precise Isotropic Scanning
From the selections 32 x 0.5 mm or 32 x 1 mm slices a choice can be made depending on the coverage and image detail ness required. If time is critical the 1 mm slices enable the trauma department a 175 cm scan in 17 seconds with a volume reconstruction in just 2 minutes.
When details are first priority for all applications isotropic resolution as fine as 0.35mm is available, showing critical details in e.g. advanced cardiac applications.
"TCOT" (True Cone-beam Tomography) reconstruction
Toshiba's patented helical cone beam reconstruction technique "TCOT" uses a modified Feldkamp algorithm, employing data from multiple projections in the z-direction to correct for the cone beam effect resulting in a uniform slice profile. Unlike more approximate reconstruction techniques, the properties of the reconstructed axial image are constant for field of view, ensuring high quality images.
Better results, lower dose
The highly sophisticated Toshiba Quantum denoising enables you to reduce patient dose up to 40%. This gives a completely new dimension to low dose scanning as Quantum denoising gives you the choice of reducing dose without loss of image quality. In addition it is the only dose reduction method offering the possibility to improve image quality at common used low dose settings. Pre-eminently the method to use for paediatric scanning.
High-speed 400ms scanning
With 400 ms scanning capabilities, the Aquilion 32 offers unsurpassed image quality at the fastest speeds to impact both specialized applications and routine scans.
- Cardiac imaging - faster scanning virtually "freezes" the beating heart, resulting in more accurate and precise cardiac studies
- Trauma imaging - rapid scanning in critical cases saves valuable time in getting the patient from the CT suite to the operating room
- Pediatric imaging - shorter exams are better tolerated by children, reducing the need for sedation in many studies
- Orthopedic imaging - sub-second scanning with 0.5 mm resolution increases diagnostic accuracy and aids in surgical planning
- Vascular imaging - faster scan times virtually eliminate pulsation artifacts, and allow examinations to be performed with less contrast media
