The new scanner of tomography computarizada (TC) offers a range of technologies of the first quality and a flow of improved work. The new detector is up to 40 more efficient % from the generation of the photons up to the detection and allows a dose of radiation significantly reduced with a quality of improved image.

The new Aquilion Prime SP was presented by Toshiba Medical Systems Europa (Zoetermeer, Holland). Besides the new detector PUREViSION, the scanner also allows the automatic selection of the kV depending on the size of the patient and of the clinical task. The technology SUREExposure, of Toshiba, optimizes the use of the agents of contrast with iodine, reducing the risk and the costs for the patients, and a new set of solutions of Adaptative Diagnosis diminishes the necessary time to realize the complex examinations, improves the diagnostic precision and the reproducibilidad. The technology of reduction of metallic appliances of neutral dose, Reduction of Metal appliances of Simple Energy Toshiba’s (SEMAR), uses an advanced technology(skill) of reconstruction that eliminates metallic appliances In the images and it(he,she) improves the visualization of the implants.

The new scanner also incorporates Dual Energy, the patent technology Toshiba Medical’s Iodine Mapping and the new Spiral Variable Parameters of 3 phases (three-phase VHP) to change the speed of the table and the parameters of image into the same one. The scanner allows to combine up to three protocols in the unique tomography computarizada, reducing the dose to the patients and the appliances of movement, and allowing a more efficient use of the agents of contrast.

” The Manager of the chief of the business European Unit of TC, Henk Zoner, said: Aquilion Prime is a very successful product on our market. Our clients value the strong performance of the system and the facility of use. With the new Aquilion Prime SP we take the following step introducing important improvements in the functionality, the performance  of the images and the clinical applications. Aquilion Gives priority TO SP it makes possible to realize examinations with minor exhibition and dose of iodine and, at the same time, to obtain images of high resolution, thanks to the technologies of forefront as PUREViSION Optics. The scanner incorporates clinical applications, of forefront, which improve furthermore the performance to guarantee an exceptional efficiency and diagnoses of high quality “.
