PinnacleHealth in Harrisburg, Pa., will install the Aquilion One dynamic volume CT system from Toshiba America Medical Systems.

The installation of the Aquilion One is part of a five-year agreement in which PinnacleHealth plans to source 85 percent of its new medical imaging systems from Toshiba’s product portfolio, including CT, MR, vascular x-ray, x-ray and ultrasound, according to the Tustin, Calif.-based company.

PinnacleHealth, a non-profit, four-campus healthcare system serving central Pennsylvania, will use the Aquilion One to treat stroke, orthopedic, vascular and cardiac patients.
