The extra-wide-bore Aquilion Exceed LB CT scanner from Canon Medical Systems for applications in radiation therapy has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The 160-slice scanner features a 90-cm bore and was introduced at the American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting last October. It was then showcased at the annual RSNA meeting.
