It goes without saying that Cardiology is playing an increasingly important role in today’s health care society. As a result, you as a cardiologist, are facing new challenges almost every day. Medical Imaging technology can support you in your daily work and help you to address these challenges.
Based upon a long history of leading innovations, Toshiba continually redefines Cardiac Imaging technologies and applications, ranging from the development of the first X-ray tube back in 1914 to the unique, Dynamic Volume Imaging technology of today that enables Myocardial Perfusion and Pediatric low-dose applications.

Aligned with the Made for Life commitment, patients are the primary focus of our technology innovations. Whether giving surgical teams better access to perform complex cardiac procedures, or giving patients the option to complete necessary MR examinations when contrast is contra-indicated, our commitment to help improve cardiac patient care spans across all our modalities.

Examples are the world’s first Dynamic Volume CT scanner – the Aquilion ONETM – that is both the latest step in the natural progression of multislice imaging and a quantum leap that will carry CT imaging into the future. Or – in Ultrasound – the Artida that provides unprecedented image quality, ultra-fast and straightforward, 4D volume navigation and advanced wall motion assessment.

Toshiba’s innovative technologies and high-end diagnostic imaging systems in CT, Ultrasound, MR and X-ray are the result of close consultation between Toshiba and leading cardiologists all over the world. They not only meet users’ most immediate clinical needs, but also provide a solid foundation for a lifetime of cardiac diagnostic confidence.

Toshiba: Made for Patients, Made for You, Made for Partnership!
