Available Aquilion Models:

• Aquilion 16
• Aquilion 16 RXL
• Aquilion Lightning (specifications for this model are faster with more available options than listed below)

 The Toshiba Aquilion 16 is a multi-slice helical CT scanner featuring a 60 kW generator, 7.5 MHU tube and a fastest standard gantry rotation time of 0.5 seconds. The Toshiba Aquilion 16, in helical mode, is capable of acquiring 16 parallel rows of data per rotation with collimations of 16 x 0.5 mm, 16 x 1 mm and 16 x 2 mm.

Scanning of volumes up to 1750 mm, in isotropic resolution, using a 1 mm slice, in just 38 seconds and delivering the 1750 images ready for diagnosis in less then 3 minutes. Aquilion 16 is still the only 16 slice CT that delivers highly detailed results in record time over a scan-range doing away with the need for re-positioning and a largely reduces examination time for trauma patients.

During the scan images are reconstructed and displayed with 12 frames per second enabling instant diagnosis. Improved treatment quality is achieved together with a dramatic reduction in examination time, a benefit appreciated by many anaesthetists. Positioning the patient "Feet First", "Head First", scanning "In" or "Out", the Aquilion S16 has no limitations.

Combined with "FX" technology, which enables 0.4 s rotations for all scan-modes, scan-time is further reduced. Freezing thereby artefacts induced by respiratory and cardiac movements.
