At this year's American College of Cardiology meeting, Toshiba MR will demonstrate the Virtual Explorer workstation.

Available today, the Virtual Explorer Workstation is a complete 3D, post-processing tool for MR analysis and image display. The physician-friendly design offers a full range of features that will enhance MR imaging capability and functionality. The workstation comes with both the hardware and software necessary for a complete post-processing package. Key software features include: MPR/MIP, 3D imaging, Brain Perfusion, Fusion, Cardiac Analysis, (EF), Coronary Assessment, Myocardial Perfusion, Flow Analysis, Delayed Enhancement and Double Oblique.

Toshiba Introduces the VF-i SP with Mid-sized Flat Panel Detector and Type S Processor

At this year's American College of Cardiology meeting, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. will introduce a new addition to its Cardiovascular InfinixTM-i system offering - the Infinix VF-i SP with Type S Processor. This new system will incorporate all of the technology that the Infinix line is known for, including complete head-to-toe and fingertip-to-fingertip coverage, and comprehensive system configuration. Now, two major features have been added to the system, including:

-A new digital processor that will expand on Toshiba's proprietary Advance Image Processing (AIP) technology. This exclusive Toshiba technology will enhance overall resolution, improve visualization over dark anatomical areas and virtually eliminate image lag. These enhancements are especially important during fluoroscopic imaging while cardiologists are performing diagnostic and interventional procedures.

-A new 12''x12'' flat panel detector (FPD) that covers more than twice the anatomical surface area of a traditional cardiac FPD. This mid-size panel allows cardiologists to increase their working field-of-view and more easily perform procedures outside the heart while minimally impacting the angulations, which are compromised by larger panels. This is an important feature for today's cath labs because not only can it perform cardiovascular procedures, but also it increases system utilization.
