Tustin, CA-based Toshiba America Medical Systems will highlight its Infinix VC-i angiography system, which recently received FDA clearance.

Based on Toshiba's Infinix-i angio system, Infinix VC-i has a 12 x 16-inch flat-panel cesium iodide detector for its all-digital C-arm, with a storage system that provides immediate access to images. The system is available with zoom fluoro 3D angio capabilities.

Other features include dose management functions, tableside controls, flexible tabletop design, and a liquid metal x-ray tube.

The 12 x 16-inch flat-panel detector is also available as an upgrade to existing Infinix VC-i systems. The system is available now in the U.S., with worldwide availability expected in the next nine months.

Lateral conventional attenuation (a, b, e, f) and co-registered dark-field (c, d, g, h) images of two spine specimens. Vertical (a, c, e, g) and horizontal (b, d, f, h) scans of the spine specimen of a 77-year-old female with osteoporosis (bone mineral density = 65.75 mg/dL) (a–d) and a non-osteoporotic spine specimen (e–h) of a 61-year-old female (bone mineral density = 169.38 mg/dL).
