"Customer feedback was critical to the development of the Aquilion ONE," continued Ryan. "Partnering with our customers to ensure that the Aquilion ONE would make a profound difference to the medical community was a key element in the development program."
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.
