Since the foundation in 1875, Toshiba became one of the largest computer and electronic companies in the world. Twelve development laboratories conduct basic and applied research on product oriented technologies. Toshiba holds over 17,000 patents worldwide.
Amongst these are patents for the principal of Helical CT Scanning as well as RealTime Helical, CT Fluoroscopy and MUSCOT reconstruction algorithm and over 50 patents for MultiSlice Detector technology.
"Made for Life", our motto, can be found throughout our innovative CT product range,showing our dedication to continuously improve diagnostic accuracy using the most advanced technologies yet available.
Innovative CT Technologies
The brilliant image quality of all Toshiba CTs is the outstanding feature. Toshiba CTs share common characteristics that optimize the image quality and that are the essential foundation for the highest level of diagnostic radiology. With Toshiba CTs you do not compromise!
Toshiba CT Characteristics
Each CT has its own unique characteristics, features and focus
to meet your demanding needs and expectations.
Nevertheless, we want to reassure you that each manufactured Toshiba CT guarantees ease of use, excellent image quality at the lowest possible dose! The uniform and strict working methods together with the outstanding characteristics of our CTs form the basis for that.
Acquire data as precise as possible and evaluate as efficiently as possible.
- Uniform operating concept for intuitive safe handling and optimized workflow
- 0.5 x 0.5 mm market's smallest detector elements for the superior resolution
- 0.35 x 0.35 x 0.35 mm isotropic voxel size for highly detailed representation even in the smallest structures
- Market's best low contrast of 2mm @ 3 HU for the detection and differentiation of the smallest differences in density (liver , kidney , brain , plaque quantification , ...)
- Up to 200 cm scan range optimized for patient access and patient comfort, particularly for trauma , intensive care and full-body examinations
- Artifact-free images helical scan with up to 30 ° gantry tilt to avoid exposure to the eye-lenses in studies of the head
- CT examinations with the dose of a conventional X-ray, e.g. for pneumonia cases, nodules and kidney stones
- Safe 3D image-guided interventions thru real-time three -layer fluoroscopy at 12 frames per second.
- 16 bit image depth for better visibility of differentiated anatomical structures
The SUREWorkflow Technologies™, such as SURECardio, SUREFluoro or SUREExposure 3D will guide you interactively during the operation of the software. The relevant parameters, such as table feed and pitch in cardiac examinations, will be automatically optimized and proposed by the Toshiba SUREWorkflow Technologies software.
