RADBOOK 201514 ◼ COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY Toshiba reduces radiation dose in cardiac CT by 40 percent New technology allows scanning everyone RADBOOK 201514 ◼ COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY An independent survey conducted by the British Society of Cardiac Imaging (BSCI) yielded surprising results: Not only does Toshibas’ Aquilion ONE scanner deliver ultra-low radiation doses for cardiac CT, its next-generation PURE ViSION detector also widens the scope of diagnostic cardiac CT. Radiologists agree that this innovative tech- nology allows scanning of patients who previously would never have been considered for CT. Incredibly 40 percent lower radiation dose ”This data is possibly the most powerful evidence I can present in favor of the Aquilion ONE with the PURE ViSION detector,” says Dr. Russell Bull, Consultant Radiologist at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in Dorset, UK, where the data for this study was collected. The survey, which was conducted over a period of one month, covered an unselected patient population at the Royal Bourne-
