Aquilion RXL

Overview

THE NEW STANDARD FOR RADIOLOGY
Toshiba Medical Systems is committed to the development of new technologies to minimize radiation dose while maintaining industry-leading image quality. These dose-reduction technologies and more are standard in the Aquilion RXL CT system.

The Aquilion RXL 16-detector row CT system delivers routine low-dose scans for each patient in a wide variety of clinical examinations with lightning reconstruction speed and unsurpassed workflow. The system is designed to comfortably handle the pace in the busiest of departments, and will be able to continue meeting healthcare demands well into the future.

COMPREHENSIVE LOW-DOSE EXAMINATION

Aquilion RXL dose reduction and reporting technologies are integrated into every step of each scan performed, ensuring the highest possible level of patient safety.

Using Toshiba’s exclusive ^PUREViSION Detector technology, Aquilion RXL provides consistent image quality with an industry-leading low-contrast resolution of 2 mm at 0.3%.

EXAM PLAN

PROTOCOL SELECTION

Aquilion RXL is delivered with an extensive range of clinically proven scan protocols that are ready to use “out-of-the-box”.

After patient registration, the system automatically loads the correct selection of adult or child protocols based on the patient’s age. In addition, protocols are anatomically grouped with an intuitive graphical interface to ensure easy and correct protocol selection.

DOSE CHECK

The Dose Check software helps ensure that the user-defined radiation dose limits cannot be exceeded by incorrect operation of the system.

RECONSTRUCTION

AIDR 3D

AIDR 3D can be applied to all acquisition modes in routine clinical use and is able to remove up to 50% of image noise, resulting in dose reductions of up to 75%.

^SUREEXPOSURE 3D ADAPTIVE

^SUREExposure 3D Adaptive can achieve a dose reduction of up to 40%, depending on the individual patient and the anatomical region to be scanned.

By using AIDR 3D in combination, the dose is automatically reduced further by up to 75% before the scan. In this manner, dose reduction can be integrated into every scan protocol.

REPORT

DOSE REPORT

In accordance with IHE recommendations, the Radiation Exposure Monitoring Profile function is provided in the software. This function automatically records all scanning data, enabling accurate tracking of the dose for a particular study.

HIGH DEFINITION 32 SLICES IN A SINGLE ROTATION

Aquilion RXL presents the latest state of technological innovation in multislice CT technology. With the new coneXact algorithm the Aquilion RXL is able to generate 32 unique slices per rotation with more detail than ever before. No additional exposure is necessary as this breakthrough technology is entirely reconstruction-based.

DOUBLE-SLICE TECHNOLOGY

HIGH FIDELITY

Double-slice reconstruction technology provides full fidelity images with superior resolution. Details of the most intricate structures are sharply depicted in any imaging plane.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The advanced coneXact reconstruction technology originally developed for Aquilion ONE has been reengineered for Aquilion RXL to provide the same high-quality image reconstruction.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTION

Toshiba’s unique double-slice solution both increases image resolution and reduces cone beam artefacts with absolutely no exposure dose penalty.

Temporal Bone: Double-slice reconstruction using coneXact technology provides exceptional spatial resolution, as demonstrated in these axial images of the inner ear.
