Toshiba America Medical Systems has signed an agreement to install its Aquilion One 320-slice CT scanner in an Ohio hospital's emergency room, according to the Tustin, CA-based vendor.
St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Cincinnati expects the system to help doctors quickly diagnose stroke and heart disease. The center serves more than 300 stroke patients annually and is the first community hospital to install an Aquilion One scanner in an ER setting, Toshiba said.
In addition to using Aquilion One for stroke diagnosis, St. Elizabeth's will use the scanner for cardiology, neurology, vascular care, and orthopedics.
