DESCRIPTION

Helical and multislice imaging built great milestones in the history of CT. Aquilion ONE offers the next leap forward in CT technology that will revolutionize patient care. Clinicians have long dreamed of being able to acquire isotropic volumes of an entire organ with a single rotation of the gantry. This leap is possible only with Toshiba's Aquilion ONE, the only scanner with a 320-row detector.               The ability to acquire the entire organs with one volume scan opens the door to new diagnostic possibilities. The neuro ONE protocol allow acquisition of multiple low-dose volume scans of the entire brain during contrast infusion to provide whole brain perfusion and whole brain dynamic vascular analysis in one examination. Dynamic volumetric acquisition protocols can also be used to review moving joint structures in 3D, providing new clinical applications for orthopaedic imaging.              For cardiac examinations, the entire heart can be captured in as little as one rotation for coronary analysis, or over a single heartbeat to include complete functional diagnosis. Each reconstructed 3D volume represents exactly the same phase of the coronary arteries with homogenous contrast enhancement
