System Features
General
* Automatic background reconstruction of up to 12 frames per second so operators can watch the scan as it actually happens
* Terminate the exam immediately after the region of interest has been scanned, saving time and reducing patient dose
* When patient movement causes things to change, make adjustments while the patient is still on the table
* Observe contrast saturation to ensure that studies are performed correctly the first time
* Precise needle positioning and accurate lesion targeting through multi-slice viewing
* A unique in-room Hyper handle to control the X-ray, positioning lights, gantry angle, and table height
* An in-room flat panel imaging monitor with dose display
* Optimizing opacity regardless of patient size or cardiac status
* Increasing patient comfort by reducing dose and shortening exam times
* Reduce dose as much as 30% during helical scanning
* Tube current is modified based on actual patient anatomy
* Tube current adjusted with every rotation of the gantry

Aquilion 16
Its Quantum detector provides true isotropic resolution in the small field of view with 0.5
mm the industry's thinnest slice width. This enables the user to scan in one plane,
reducing radiation while selecting the desired thickness for viewing. Aquilion's Quantum
detector is the only detector to provide three slice-width combinations 16x0.5, 16x1 and
16x2 mm, and it achieves the industry's best low-contrast resolution at 0.5-second scans
speed.
