Redesigned CT Scanner to Provide Improved Image Quality and Lower Dose

The system also includes the world’s first laser collimator that does away with the need for a scanogram, and speeds up the CT scan.

The Aquilion ONE/GENESIS Edition Computed Tomography (CT) scanner is made by Toshiba Medical Systems Europe (TMSE; Zoetermeer, The Netherlands), which markets, sells, distributes, and services radiology and cardiovascular systems, and coordinates research for clinical diagnostic imaging for all modalities in Europe.

Mr. Henk Zomer, general manager of CT-BU, Toshiba Medical Systems Europe, said, “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. GENESIS Edition is smaller, lighter and requires less power than any other Area Detector CT. Designed for an installation space of just 19m2, GENESIS Edition can be installed in most existing CT rooms, reducing costly renovations and transforming the workspace.”
