Toshiba America Medical Systems of Tustin, CA, has installed its Aquilion One CT scanner at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

Aquilion One utilizes 320 detector rows, each with a width of 0.5 mm, to image an entire organ in a single gantry rotation. The technology produces 4D images displaying up to 16 cm of anatomical coverage to capture an entire brain or heart and show movement such as blood flow.
