Vantage MRI: Unmatched Clinical Performance
Featuring some of the most advanced MRI applications available in the industry, the Vantage offers a wide range of optional packages for cardiac imaging, including advanced Echo Planar Imaging, Diffusion and Perfusion Imaging, Peripheral Angiography and Fresh Blood Imaging, SuperFASE (Fast Advanced Spin Echo) Imaging and Body Vision. In addition, Toshiba’s SPEEDER parallel imaging allows for increased acquisition speed and reduced examination times.
With Toshiba's patented PianissimoTM technology, the Vantage dramatically reduces acoustic noise, the most significant cause of patient discomfort during an MRI exam, and enables clinicians to better utilize all of the system's high-field MRI capabilities.

TOSHIBA INTRODUCES APLIO XG


The Aplio XG provides several enhancements
that improve productivity and
increase diagnostic confidence

Toshiba newest innovations for its AplioTM ultrasound system, the Aplio XG, was demonstrated for the first time at RSNA 2006.

Offering the latest advancements in diagnostic performance and operator comfort, the next-generation Aplio XG provides several enhancements that improve productivity, increase diagnostic confidence, facilitate connectivity and enhance ergonomics. Upgrade enhancements include new 4D technology, which allows users to acquire volume data sets for subsequent, off-line review. The Aplio XG’s 3D multi-slice view delivers sequential imaging with a presentation format similar to CT and MR. Additionally, slice thickness and the number of images displayed can be selected by the user. A new ergo-optimized control panel and 19” LCD also have been added to increase user comfort. The Aplio XG also is IHE compliant for improved connectivity and workflow.

“Aplio XG offers clinically relevant technologies that will help clinicians with their patient workloads,” said Edward Grant, M.D., professor and chair, Department of Radiology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California.

Volumetric Imaging
Volume Ultrasound produces multidimensional images that can be viewed in any plane. The transducer automatically captures the volume data sets as it scans the area of interest. With 3D Multi-Slice imaging, the user selects the slice thickness, as well as the number of 2D images displayed. Coronal views can be displayed, which are unavailable with conventional 2D imaging. This quantifiable data can be thoroughly interrogated on the UL system or off-line at a workstation – freeing the ultrasound system to image more patients, which can subsequently boost productivity.
