Toshiba Aquilion 16-Slice CT Scanner

Product Description: The Toshiba Aquilion 16-Slice CT Scanner is a reliable and powerful third-generation system that remains a popular “workhorse” for general imaging in hospitals and clinics. This system is a solid workhorse and an excellent choice for a fast-paced radiology department with a high volume of patients. Its key feature is a fast gantry rotation, with a minimum time of 0.5 seconds, and a reconstruction time of up to 0.10 seconds per image, enabling fast whole-body scans with reduced distortion. The Aquilion 16 also features Toshiba’s innovative SUREStart technology, which automatically initiates a scan when contrast media reaches the target area, ensuring optimal image quality with the lowest possible radiation dose.
