Toshiba Medical has released upgrades to its Aquilion One Genesis Edition CT scanner.
The system now includes Neuro First model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR), which improves low-contrast detectability and high-contrast spatial resolution, the company said. It also includes the company's three-phase variable helical pitch (vHP3) option, which helps clinicians assess the whole body with just one scan, and SurePosition automated table positioning.
Aquilion One Genesis Edition already features PureVision optics, PureVision detector, and SureSubtraction iodine mapping, according to Toshiba.
![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)
