Aquilion LB: A High-Performance Scanner for Quality Medical Imaging
The Toshiba Aquilion LB is a medical imaging scanner designed to meet the precision diagnostic and patient comfort requirements of healthcare professionals. Tailored for oncology, radiotherapy, and interventional imaging services, it combines a wide 90 cm bore opening and a true 70 cm field of view, enabling complete anatomical visualization without data extrapolation.
With its QuantumPLUS detector, the Aquilion LB offers a 40% larger field of view compared to conventional scanners, ensuring superior image quality, particularly for bariatric examinations and radiotherapy simulations. This extensive coverage captures essential anatomical details for optimal patient care.
One of the major strengths of the Aquilion LB is its ability to manage respiratory motion during exams through its 4D acquisition mode and respiratory gating system. These features enhance the precision in tracking tumor volumes and improve the reproducibility of acquired images. Its Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction 3D (AIDR 3D) reconstruction system reduces image noise and optimizes patient dose, allowing for a reduction in exposure of up to 75%.
In terms of ergonomics, the Aquilion LB is designed to improve the workflow of medical teams. Its console architecture enables rapid image reconstruction, with a capacity of up to 22 images per second. The SUREFluoro function provides real-time fluoroscopic display for interventional procedures, facilitating precise needle placement and biopsies. The integration of SUREExposure 3D automatically adjusts the radiation dose based on the patient's morphology, ensuring optimized imaging without compromising quality.
Regarding connectivity, the Aquilion LB supports ultra-fast image transfer via the DICOM protocol, with speeds reaching up to 60 images per second. It also allows for centralized data management with single or dual console options, tailored to the needs of medical facilities. The SUREXtension function enables remote access to post-processing tools, enhancing radiologists' efficiency and exam management.
The design of the Aquilion LB aims to maximize patient comfort and ease of use for healthcare professionals. Its wide 90 cm tunnel facilitates patient positioning, especially for exams requiring precise alignment in radiotherapy. Its compatibility with various accessories and flexible positioning options offer great adaptability to different clinical applications.
