The Orlando Health Heart Institute in Orlando, Fla., has installed Toshiba America Medical Systems’ Aquilion ONE CT system for cardiac exams.

Aquillion ONE features AIDR 3D, Toshiba’s third-generation iterative dose reconstruction software that allows for lower CT radiation dose.

The system covers up to 16 cm of anatomy using 320 detector elements and 640 unique slices that can image the heart in one rotation, according to Toshiba.
