Description
Overview
The Toshiba Aquilion CT Scanner platform is an engineering benchmark for clinical versatility, operational uptime, and patient-centric safety. Engineered around Toshiba’s low-noise Quantum detector technology, the system captures true sub-millimeter data sets across all clinical modes.
Whether configured as a daily diagnostic workhorse or an advanced multi-slice cardiovascular engine, the Aquilion platform combines high-power generator capabilities with Toshiba’s heavy-duty 7.5 MHU Megacool™ tube. This design prevents thermal bottlenecks during long continuous spiral scans or back-to-back emergency patient runs. Driven by the AIDR 3D reconstruction engine, the system automatically optimizes beam intensity and reduces image noise, delivering high spatial resolution at low radiation exposure levels.
Key Features & Advanced Technologies
-
Quantum 0.5 mm Detector Array: Industry-leading solid-state detector design featuring true 0.5 mm slice thickness across all detector rows for sharp spatial resolution and fine structural definition.
-
AIDR 3D (Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction): Integrated full-iterative reconstruction algorithm that reduces radiation dose by up to 75% while enhancing low-contrast detail and suppressing artifacts.
-
7.5 MHU Megacool™ X-Ray Tube: High-capacity, liquid-cooled tube designed for extreme thermal resistance, ensuring continuous operation without tube cooling delays.
-
SURETechnologies™ Suite:
-
SUREExposure™ 3D: Modulates X-ray dose continuously in real time based on patient anatomy across X, Y, and Z axes.
-
SUREStart™: Automated contrast-medium tracking that triggers scan acquisition at peak enhancement.
-
SURECardio™: Rate-adaptive cardiac software that optimizes prospective and retrospective ECG gating for coronary CTA studies.
-
-
Ergonomic Gantry & Wide Table: Designed with wide apertures (72 cm to 78 cm standard, up to 90 cm on Large Bore models) and low-height patient tables to facilitate easy patient transfer and positioning.
