Toshiba Highlights Its AIDR CT Radiation Reduction Technology
CT has been one of the most important diagnostic imaging techniques, as it provides high-detailed images of internal organs of the body. However, CT scans are accompanied with high doses of radiation delivered to patients during procedures. Therefore, Toshiba, one of the major companies providing medical imaging systems, has recently introduced its “Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction (AIDR)” technology, which reduces radiation doses during CT scans by up to 75%. However, the quality of the produced images is not affected. The New ADIR technology is now available in several systems from Toshiba, such as Aquilion ONETM, AquilionTM Premium edition and all 64 detector row CT scanners. All these systems will be highlighted at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Stockholm, Sweden this month. AIDR technology generates images with enhanced quality and with reduced noise levels when compared to the standard protocols for CT scans.
