Toshiba Unveils AIDR 3D to Reduce Dose and Provide Safer CT Exams

November 30, 2011 By AxoGen, Inc.

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS
WIRE
)–To make todays CT examinations even safer, Toshiba America Medical
Systems, Inc., unveils next generation dose reduction technology, Adaptive
Iterative Dose Reduction 3D (AIDR 3D, pending 510(k) clearance), at this years
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, Nov. 27
– Dec. 2, 2011 (Booth #5634, South Hall). AIDR 3D will be available on
Toshibas Aquilion ONE™, Aquilion™ Premium and Aquilion PRIME (pending 510(k)
clearance) systems.

AIDR 3D lowers radiation dose compared to conventional
scanning, aiding clinicians in accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. It is
a sophisticated algorithm designed to work in both the raw data and image data
space, reducing noise to maintain image quality.

“The AIDR 3D images look very similar to those reconstructed
with classic filtered back projection. We have not noticed any plastic effect
or loss of spatial resolution,” said Professor Alain Blum, chief of radiology,
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Nancy,
France. “AIDR
3D is a fine solution to dramatically reduce X-ray dose and improve image
quality, and should be immediately adopted when installed on your Toshiba CT system.”

AIDR 3D has also been seamlessly integrated with SUREExposure™
3D, a software that can calculate the minimum radiation exposure required for
every exam. SUREExposure 3D adjusts dose for each patient based on a pre-set,
targeted level of image quality.

“Integration of dose reduction technologies is essential for
optimal dose management,” said Joseph Cooper, director, CT Business Unit,
Toshiba. “With AIDR 3D, Toshiba has taken its dose reduction technology to the
next level, allowing dose reduction to be easier and exams to be safer.”
