Toshiba's 256‑slice System

Achieving complete coverage of the heart or other organs within a single rotation requires a system capable of covering at least 120mm of anatomy with no table movement. Toward this end, Toshiba, in cooperation with the NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) in Japan, has successfully

The primary benefit of wide volume coverage is the ability to perform developed two prototype 256‑slice CT systems" based on the Aquilion platform's core technology.

Utilizing Toshiba's proven gantry design and high‑efficiency detector material, these systems cover 128mm of anatomy with 0.5mm slices, producing fine, isotropic resolution of the heart during a single gantry rotation.

The patented detector material featured on the prototypes offer the same excellent, low‑contrast performance as the rest of the Aquilion line. Fast decay time and low afterglow properties ensure that the systems are fast enough for dynamic cardiac imaging, while excellent stopping power and high light‑output make them highly dose efficient.



Clinical Development

Over the past several years, there have been numerous reports published detailing the design, development and performance of the 256‑slice scanner 18,19,20,21% In 2004, Mori et al compared several image quality metrics of the prototype 256‑slice system with those of a conventional CT system. They found that the prototype 256 system has very similar spatial resolution, noise and uniformity between the two systems".

In another study, Mori et al showed that the prototype 256‑slice scanner performed equally as well in standard radiographic examinations as a conventional SySteM22. After scanning eight healthy volunteers on the prototype system with axial exams of the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis, they found image quality equivalent to conventional CT using the same dose

Revolutionizing CT. Again.

As CT scanner technology has advanced, each successive system has built upon CT's proven clinical utility with the best performance advances at 4­, 16‑, and 64‑slice, bringing a wealth of new clinical applications. As shown through the early research on the system, the 256‑slice CT scanner provides the next quantum leap in CT technology. Finally it will be realistic to obtain whole organ evaluation and perfusion in a single rotation. This will bring about many new areas of study in functional CT imaging. Furthermore, with prospective cardiac triggering, it may be possible to acquire images of the coronary arteries with as little as 2mSv of dose. This will help make coronary CT a truly routine and mainstream exam.

Built on proven detector and gantry technology with the ability to not only perform well on conventional CT applications but also on a wealth of new applications, Toshiba's 256‑slice CT system will revolutionize CT imaging, again. CA
