Designed for today's healthcare environment, the Aquilion ONE reduces overall healthcare costs and streamlines diagnosis by replacing several tests with a single comprehensive exam. The Aquilion ONE's single exam helps reduce unnecessary testing, as well as the accompanying accumulative radiation and contrast dose.
"The Aquilion ONE can dramatically improve patient care by providing a fast, comprehensive exam for patients suffering from life-threatening conditions, like stroke and heart attack, while helping to lower healthcare cost," explained Doug Ryan, senior director, CT Business Unit, Toshiba. "St. Elizabeth Medical Center is an excellent example of where the Aquilion ONE enabled physicians to diagnose and treat a patient before a serious stroke occurred."
