Toshiba America Medical Systems of Tustin, CA, has installed its Aquilion One CT scanner at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

Aquilion One utilizes 320 detector rows, each with a width of 0.5 mm, to image an entire organ in a single gantry rotation. The technology produces 4D images displaying up to 16 cm of anatomical coverage to capture an entire brain or heart and show movement such as blood flow.

Liver fat content measurement with photon-counting CT and MRI-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF). Three regions of interest (circles) were delineated in the peripheral areas of the left, right anterior, and right posterior lobes of the liver. (A) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp standard-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 33-year-old man (body mass index, 26.2) diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in the asymptomatic cohort. (B) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp low-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 69-year-old woman (body mass index, 24.6) in the MASLD cohort. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
