Cardiovascular X-ray

Unlike other imaging systems, the cardiovascular lab is literally an extension of the clinician's eyes and hands. As such, it must provide access, coverage, image qualityand workflow efficiency that fluidly enhances a clinician's performance. We've worked hand-in-hand with leading clinicians to design unique features for the Infinix-i systems that address those very needs. The impact of this collaboration is clear: the productivity and performance of the comprehensive Infinix-i family of products has been recognized with many technology awards and leading customer satisfaction ratings.

Computed Tomography

Regardless of which Aquilion CT system is purchased, customers are assured of the industry's thinnest slices (0.5 mm) across all its CT systems. Building on this platform, Toshiba has been able to offer the same 0.5mm slice thickness, superior low contrast resolution and 350 micron isotropic resolution across the board, from the Aquilion 16 to the Aquilion 64 and including the Aquilion ONE Dynamic Volume CT.

The Quantum Advantage ensures that whether physicians are doing a routine chest CT on the Aquilion 16-slice or a cardiac study on the 64-slice, consistent, high-quality images will be produced.

Magnetic Resonance

The Vantage product line has a system that will meet the ever changing needs of today's customer. Each scanner has unique features that provide maximum performance and patient comfort.

Our systems are easily upgradeable all the way to Titan since the entire product line uses the same magnet. All of these systems come equipped with Toshiba's patented Pianissimo technology which quiets the patient environment, and industry leading non-contrast techniques.

Healthcare Economics

It is hard to refute the fact that healthcare costs are escalating. Over the course of the past decade, healthcare costs have increased by 40%. In 2007, the gross domestic product (GDP) specific to healthcare was estimated at $2.7 trillion or 16%. This, in turn, equates to $7,421 per person. The United States spends twice the amount in healthcare dollars than other developed countries, and overall, we rate #37 when it comes to quality. If the US continues on its current path regarding consumption of healthcare dollars, it is forecast that by the year 2030, that 28% of the GDP will be related to healthcare. The continued escalation of these costs will create further burdens to US businesses as they seek to remain competitive on a global level.
