Toshiba Aquilion 16

TOSHIBA Aquilion PRIME multidetector helical CT scanner with
the ability to generate 160 slices per rotation at high speed.
Clinical Performance and Multislice Technology
Capacity of 160 Cuts: Thanks to the coneXact™ reconstruction algorithm, the
system generates 160 high-precision cuts per rotation.
Ultra-Fast Scan Speed: Achieve a full rotation in just 0.35 seconds,
minimizing motion artifacts in pediatric patients or those with high heart rates.
Detector of 80 Rows: Includes a 0.5 mm detector that provides wide coverage
and superior spatial resolution in full-body studies.
MegaCool™ X-Ray Tube: High-capacity tube (7.5 MHU) with industry-leading cooling rate,
ensuring continuous operation without interruptions due to overheating.
High-Power Generator: Equipped with a 72 kW generator to
ensure excellent beam penetration even in complex bariatric studies.

Patient Safety and Dose Reduction
AIDR 3D (Iterative Technology): Reduces image noise and automatically lowers
radiation dose by up to 75% while maintaining optimal diagnostic quality.
Active Collimator: Eliminates unnecessary exposure by blocking X-rays at the start
and end of the helical scan range.
SUREExposure™ 3D: Real-time tube current adjustment based on patient anatomy
to deliver only the minimum required dose.
Protection for Sensitive Areas: The Boost3D™ function optimizes dose in
high-absorption regions such as shoulders and pelvis,
ensuring clear images with less radiation.

Ergonomic Design and Efficient Workflow
780 mm Gantry Opening: The widest tunnel in its class,
improving patient experience and facilitating access for interventional procedures.
Patient Table for 300 kg: Robust design with high load capacity,
ideal for emergency services and bariatric patients.
Lateral Table Travel (Tech Assist): The only technology that allows lateral movement of
the table, facilitating patient positioning without the need for physical repositioning.
Installation in Reduced Spaces: Designed to fit small rooms with
a minimum installation area of only 14.8 m².
Integrated touch panels: full control from the gantry with interactive screens that
display patient information and scan times.

Specialized Capabilities (Optional)
Advanced Cardiology: Software for cardiac function analysis, calcium quantification
(SURECardio™), and characterization of coronary plaques.
Cerebral Perfusion Studies: Ability to perform Shuttle Helical to
obtain dynamic volume data in cerebral blood flow studies up to 12 cm.
Real-Time Intervention: SUREFluoro™ option for CT-guided biopsies with
real-time visualization.
