The Aquilion 64 features advanced multislice CT technologies, and is built on Toshiba's unique 64-row Quantum detector. With 64 detector rows, 3-D cone beam algorithms and volume reconstruction, the Aquilion 64 has a superior multi-detector design, producing high-speed, high-resolution imaging with superior low-contrast resolution at the industry’s lowest dose. The Quantum detector enables the Aquilion CT scanner to acquire 64 simultaneous slices of 0.5 mm with each 350-millisecond gantry revolution, allowing precise isotropic imaging of any region of the body during a single breath-hold. Vantage MRI The Vantage features some of the industry’s most advanced MRI applications, with a wide range of optional packages including cardiac imaging, advanced Echo Planar Imaging, Diffusion and Perfusion Imaging, Peripheral Angiography and Fresh Blood Imaging, SuperFASE (Fast Advanced Spin Echo) Imaging and Body Vision. In addition, Toshiba’s SPEEDER parallel imaging allows for increased acquisition speed and reduced examination times. And with Toshiba's patented PianissimoTM technology, the Vantage dramatically reduces acoustic noise, enabling clinicians to better utilize all of the system's high-field MRI capabilities.
