INTRODUCING THE AQUILION ONE GENESIS EDITION – TRANSFORMING CT

Aquilion ONE GENESIS Edition, the new CT scanner is a flagship model that goes beyond the evolution of Area Detector CT. Intensive clinically focused research and breakthrough technological development have culminated in a new CT system delivering superior image quality and reduced radiation dose requirements.

Building on more than 10 years of clinical experience in Area Detector Technology, GENESIS Edition transforms CT for superior and safer patient care.

“GENESIS Edition offers improved X-ray detector functionality through a complete redesign of the system together with high-quality image processing and lower radiation doses than ever before,” said Mr. Rob Walczynski, National Manager of Toshiba Medical Systems ANZ Pty Ltd.

GENESIS Edition is empowered by FIRST, the world’s first volumetric Model Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) that is fully integrated into scan protocols. FIRST will transform CT image quality with improved spatial resolution at lower doses.

GENESIS Edition has been designed with a unique flared gantry, providing a wide-open space for better patient experience. The industries only Area Detector Gantry with 30 degrees bidirectional tilt enables angled scanning to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiosensitive organs.

A world first laser collimation system provides the ease of x-ray in CT, making CT scans faster and more comfortable for the patient, without the need for a scanogram.

The first GENESIS Edition in Australia will be installed into Southern Radiology at their Miranda practice.
