Leading Stroke Center Installs Toshiba’s Aquillion ONE Dynamic Volume CT

Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital has installed a CT system that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to diagnose stroke symptoms.
Toshiba’s Aquilion ONE dynamic volume CT system is now operational at the hospital’s Kaleida Health Stroke Center. Developed by Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, the Aquilion ONE dynamic volume CT is the only medical imaging system that can image the entire brain and show real-time brain function in less time than traditional multi-detector row CT systems.
Introduced in November 2007, dynamic volume CT scans an entire organ in a single pass and produces 4D videos that show an organ’s structure, its movement and blood flow. In comparison, a 64-slice, 128-slice or 256-slice CT scan can only capture a portion of an organ in a single pass, requiring physicians to “stitch together” multiple scans of an organ to get a full image. The new technology helps reduce multiple exposures to radiation and exam time.
The Aquilion ONE, the world’s first dynamic volume CT, utilizes 320 ultra-high resolution detector rows to image an entire organ in a single gantry rotation and shows dynamic function like blood flow.
