computedtomography RadBook 2014 14 The latest evolution of the leading dynamic volume CT system sees in- creased ease of use for radiologists and radiographers, better patient safety and comfort as well as outstanding image clarity. Like its predecessor, the next gen- eration of the Aquilion ONE system has the ability to scan entire organs in a sin- gle gantry rotation. The 16 cm detector makes it possible to capture morphology at a single moment in time - be it a heart, foot, or an infant’s chest - and eliminates movement artefacts. Patient comfort and safety are optimized by a larger gantry aperture and a newly developed Quan- tum VI detector, providing higher light output for optimized dose reduction. The new CT is entering the mar- ket at a time when Toshiba Medical Systems is set to become an ever more important ‘player’ within the Toshi- ba Corporation and the corporation’s healthcare sector already has plans for further expansion. Satoshi Tsunakawa, President and CEO of Toshiba Medical Systems Corp., Japan, emphasizes that the main aim of the business is to fur- ther extend the scope from medical di- agnostics to new business to include dis ease prevention and patient care. Toshi- ba is already a key player in diagnostic imaging and has already sold 30,000 CT machines worldwide but believes there are further opportunities within the sec- tor. “In order to realise this vision, our target for revenue in this year is 10% growth over last year,” Tsunakawa adds. At the heart of that growth – and a critical component in the evolution of the new Aquilion ONE – is the strong ethos of innovation within Toshiba. Henk Zomer, Senior Manager of the CT Busi- ness Unit at Toshiba Medical Systems Europe, says that innovation is a strong theme running through the development of CT within Toshiba which has seen the Satoshi Tsunakawa, President and CEO, Toshiba Medical System Corporation, Japan Aquilion ONE next generation Re-defining CT technology The world´s most advanced dynamic volume CT The next generation of Aquilion ONE offers enhanced workflow and patient comfort along with innovative new imaging tools.
