Toshiba America Medical Systems has installed its first 640-slice Aquilion One Vision Edition CT scanner in the state of Oregon.
The new scanner at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland will help improve the facility's diagnostic capabilities for trauma, cardiac, stroke, and pediatric patients, the firm said.
The system is capable of generating 0.5-mm slices with a gantry rotation of 0.275 seconds. Its 16 cm of coverage is capable of imaging entire organs, such as the heart and brain, in a single rotation. The scanner also features a large 78-cm bore and Toshiba's adaptive iterative dose reduction (AIDR) 3D software.
