Heart checks in a second
The world's top CT (Computerized Tomography) scanner, called Aquilion ONE, which features a coverage area of 320 detectors rows and covers 16cm in a single pass, has now been installed at Anzhen Hospital in Beijing.
Toshiba's Aquilion ONE can capture the whole heart within one heart beat, which means a whole heart check only needs about 0.35 seconds.
