Toshiba America Medical Systems has upgraded an Aquilion One CT scanner at Memorial University Medical Center with its new metal-artifact reduction technology.
The scanner at Memorial's Savannah, GA, location has been upgraded with Toshiba's single-energy metal artifact reduction (SEMAR) technology, which minimizes streak artifacts from metal implants, Toshiba said.
Memorial University Medical Center includes its flagship hospital, a 654-bed academic medical center; primary and specialty physician networks; a medical education program; business and industry services; and NurseOne, a 24-hour call center, the company said. It is a two-state healthcare organization serving a 35-county area in southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina.
