Aquilion™ CX Edition


High image quality

Double Slice Technology

Developed for Aquilion ONE™ dynamic volume CT, new proprietary algorithms using the coneXact technology are now available for Aquilion /CX.
As a result, partial volume effects are minimized, leading to more detailed images while maintaining superior low contrast detectability.

Conventional Scan


Taking full advantage of the coneXact technology, acquired volume data can be reconstructed in double density, resulting in a more true-to-original reconstruction in MPR and 3D rendered images.

Double-Slice Technology


Data acquisition with a slice thickness of 0.5 mm

  • 0.5 mm detector elements are the thinnest in the industry
  • The industry's best low contrast resolution creates consistent soft tissue imaging at the lowest possible dose
  • Uniform image quality is achieved by ultra high 310 micron isotropic resolution

TCOT 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.

Cardiac Scanning

SURECardio with phaseXact

Delivers clear, accurate cardiac images and enhances patient throughput and workflow by automatically selecting optimum scan parameters.

  • Automated, clinically validated protocols provide the best temporal resolution regardless of patient heart rate or condition
  • Achieve consistent Cardiac CTA with adaptive, multi-segment reconstruction
  • Decrease patient scan time through protocol automation
  • Reduce view time and storage space with phaseXact, which automatically selects the cardiac phase with the least motion

SURECardio Scoring

Provides fast and easy evaluation of calcium based on non-contrasted, ECG-gated data directly from the Aquilion console.

  • Calculates Ca scores using the Agaston method and the Volume mass method
  • A report and the representative images showing calcium will be automatically generated

Cardio Scoring


SUREPlague

A comprehensive advanced visualization tool to assist clinicians in evaluating the characteristics inside the blood vessel.

  • Visualize coronary vessel anatomy and disease with ease using defined HU ranges
  • Quantify plaque burden and coronary remodeling non-invasively
  • Characterize lesions in the vessel wall as either calcified or non-calcified
