Toshiba America Medical Systems is expanding its suite of low-dose computed tomography (CT) technologies with Target CTA and Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction (AIDR), which will be showcased this week at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago.
Target CTA is a cardiac protocol for the Aquilion ONE CT technology that can image a pediatric or adult patient's entire heart in one rotation. Target CTA allows for more accurate targeting of the heart, minimizes padding of the scan range, and can limit the radiation dose during gated cardiac studies.
Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction is software that iterates noise out of the image to increase image quality and lower...
