University College Hospital, London, is expecting to introduce new techniques following the installation of an Aquilion One Vision Edition and an Aquilion Prime CT scanner from Toshiba Medical Systems.
Consultant radiologist and CT lead Dr Mark Duncan says: “We are delighted to be entering into a new partnership with Toshiba to supply University College Hospital with industry-leading CT technology and serve as a reference site for these scanners.”
“Our Aquilion One Vision will provide us with numerous cutting-edge features, allowing UCH patients to benefit from new techniques in many fields, including cardiac CT, cancer imaging, and neuro perfusion, all at vastly reduced doses compared to our previous scanners. Our Aquilion Prime will be our main interventional CT scanner for biopsies and the complex tumour ablations performed by our rapidly expanding interventional oncology service, and we look forward to working with Toshiba to develop new capabilities in these areas.”
