Aquilion 16

• Automatic background reconstruction of up to 12 frames per second so operators can watch the scan as it actually happens
• Terminate the exam immediately after the region of interest has been scanned, saving time and reducing patient dose
• When patient movement causes things to change, make adjustments while the patient is still on the table
• Observe contrast saturation to ensure that studies are performed correctly the first time
• Precise needle positioning and accurate lesion targeting through multi-slice viewing
• A unique in-room Hyper handle to control the X-ray, positioning lights, gantry angle, and table height
• An in-room flat panel imaging monitor with dose display
• Optimizing opacity regardless of patient size or cardiac status
• Increasing patient comfort by reducing dose and shortening exam times
• Reduce dose as much as 30% during helical scanning
• Tube current is modified based on actual patient anatomy
• Tube current adjusted with every rotation of the gantry

Aquilion 16 was created based on extensive clinical experience and close cooperation with leading medical practitioners around the world. With its unique 40 row Quantum detector capable of generating 16 x 0.5 mm. slices with each half-second gantry revolution, Aquilion 16 represents the standard in diagnostic imaging technology.
