The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust recently purchased a Toshiba Aquilion ONE CT scanner. The new system, which replaced an existing CT scanner, comes with a dedicated neuro software package which opens the door to new diagnostic possibilities. Toshiba's neuro ONE protocol allows acquisition of multiple low-dose volume scans of the entire brain during contrast infusion to provide whole brain perfusion and whole brain dynamic vascular analysis in one examination. The new scanner was officially unveiled by Everton Football Club's Alan Stubbs, along with senior doctors and imaging staff at the Merseyside specialist hospital. The Walton Centre is the only integrated Neurosciences Trust in the UK, providing a diagnostic and treatments service.
