Aquilion ONE is the first hybrid CT scanner in the world. Energy, generated when gantry rotation is stopped, is used to power the system. Toshiba's Environmental care is aiming to enrich life and health of patients and of the planet!
To what economic efficiency does this design serve? Does the increase in the service contract and cost of the equipment off set the 9V battery worth of energy this regenerates? Magnificent technology, but are these still selling for ~ $2M?
Great, another so called "advance" in technology were we are sacrifcing performance for "environmental efficency"..

@JUSTBOLTONS That's a battery. The energy captured as the gantry stops recharges it.
