Toshiba America Medical Systems has debuted its SureSubtraction software package for its Aquilion CT line.
Designed to reduce CT examination time for neurological CT angiography procedures, SureSubtraction automates and streamlines the bone subtraction process, according to the Tustin, CA-based firm. Exam time can be reduced by as much as 90%, Toshiba said.
Following clinical evaluation at Toshiba's luminary sites, SureSubtraction will be available as an option on the vendor's eight-, 16-, 32-, and 64-slice scanners.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
