Multislice HELICAL CT SCANNER

Product Data
No. MPDCT0709EA

APPLICATION
Aquilion LightningTM is a multislice helical CT system that
supports whole-body imaging. The system employs
Toshiba's innovative dose-reduction technologies and a
fast reconstruction unit designed to minimize the patient
exposure dose and the time required for diagnosis.
The wide range of advanced applications is designed for
operators of all levels of experience, maximizing perfor-
mance.
