Hitachi Exhibits 64-slice SCENARIA with Advanced Dose Reduction Technology at RSNA

November 22, 2011 By AxoGen, Inc.

CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS
WIRE
)–Hitachis 64-slice SCENARIA is now in worldwide clinical use, where it is
proving itself as an excellent lower dose* and optimum value clinical platform
for both routine and advanced applications.

“SCENARIA goes beyond being just another versatile 64-slice
CT, by including unique dose reduction features for its segment, such as
combining a lateral-shifting table-top with a smaller x-ray bow-tie filter, to
provide both improved resolution and reduced dose,” said Mark Silverman,
Manager of CT Marketing. “And, SCENARIA offers a breadth of other important
features, including Intelli EC -Exposure Control and Intelli IP -Iterative
Processing for dose reduction, together an enlarged 75cm gantry aperture, for
greater access and comfort.”

Considering that published clinical studies demonstrate
64-slice CT has a 99% negative predictive value in excluding Major Cardiac
Adverse Events (MACE) for 30 days in patients who present with acute coronary
syndrome (ACS), 64-slice CT fulfills most providers CT needs for lower
dose with routine and advanced cardiac applications, without the added
financial burden of purchasing a dramatically higher cost, higher slice CT
system.

SCENARIA also excels in 3D visualization and analysis
capabilities critical to physicians, by offering an integrated TeraRecon
iNtuition® server with a full range of advanced clinical applications that are
simultaneously available to multiple users.
