N.Y. stroke center installs Toshiba Aquilion One CT

Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y., has installed a Toshiba America Medical Systems' Aquilion One dynamic volume CT system at its Kaleida Health Stroke Center.

The Aquilion One can image the entire brain and show real-time brain function in less time than traditional multi-detector CT systems, according to Toshiba.

The 189-bed acute care medical center is home to a multi-disciplinary team trained in stroke care that comprises the hospital's Kaleida Health Stroke Center. It is the first stroke center in the United States to offer dynamic volume CT, the Tustin, Calif.-based Toshiba said.
