Frost & Sullivan recently bestowed their prestigious Medical Imaging Product of the Year award on Toshiba's Aquilion™ 16. (November 2003). Frost & Sullivan presents this award each year to the company that has best demonstrated the ability to develop and/or advance products with more innovative capabilities than competing vendors and products. Adopted by leading institutions around the world, Aquilion's advanced features and capabilities provide physicians with a powerful tool that is ideal for applications requiring precise clinical information. “While other 16-slice CT scanners may have been quicker to market, the Aquilion 16 comes to market with a greater number of features designed to suit customer needs and to provide a competitive advantage to Toshiba Medical in the CT market,” says Monali Patel, industry manager with Frost & Sullivan. “The product has already been well accepted and has received acclaim from leading institutions such as Johns Hopkins Hospital.” Toshiba Medical’s Aquilion 16 is perhaps the most advanced 16-slice CT scanner to date. The Aquilion 16 can capture 16 0.5 mm slices with a 400-millisecond gantry rotation while competing 16 slice CT scanners produce slices that are 25 to 50 percent thicker and require a slightly longer gantry rotation time. The extremely thin slices allow the capturing of valuable anatomical information such as the details of small arteries or minor abnormalities of organ tissue, providing physicians with a powerful tool for neurological and cardiac applications that require precise clinical information. The Aquilion’s ability to capture 16 simultaneous one or two millimeter slices allows it to cover a larger area in a short time – a necessity in trauma cases where time is the essence. Another unique feature, a 32 mm detector along the patient axis, enables the Aquilion to cover a large anatomical area in a single scan, ideal for injured patients or those unable to lie still for long periods. Besides the superb technological innovations, the Aquilion. also boasts features that fulfill unique customer needs, such as the Megacool X-ray tube that virtually eliminates delays caused by tube cooling, allowing for greater throughput and increased flexibility in the types of patients scanned.
