Toshiba America Medical Systems has landed a three-year deal to supply medical imaging technology to Park Nicollet Health Services of St. Louis Park, MN.
Toshiba will supply Park Nicollet with all of its CT, MR, and radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) systems over the next three years. The health system has installed two Aquilion Prime 80 CT scanners and upgraded its three Aquilion 64 scanners with Toshiba's VeloCT technology.
Park Nicollet has also purchased two Aplio 500 ultrasound scanners for its vascular lab, a Vantage Titan 1.5-tesla 8-channel MRI scanner, and a Kalare system for general R/F exams.
![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
