Toshiba installs Aquilion ONE in Georgia hospital
Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta has installed the Aquilion ONE from Toshiba America Medical Systems.
Toshiba’s Aquilion ONE dynamic volume CT system builds one 3D image of an entire organ in a single gantry rotation by using 320, 0.5-mm, detector rows. The CT scanner can also produce a 4D clinical video showing up to 16 cm of anatomical coverage, enough to capture the entire brain or heart and show its movement and its blood flow, the company said.
As a leading provider of cardiac services in Atlanta, the Piedmont Heart Institute will use the Aquilion ONE primarily for cardiac patients but can expand its use into other areas, including neurology.
