FDA has cleared a Toshiba Medical 510(k) for the Forward Projected Model-based Iterative Reconstruction Solution (FIRST) that is intended to improve high contrast spatial resolution while reducing radiation dose up to 85% as compared to filtered back projection computed tomography imaging. “FIRST can improve high-contrast spatial resolution by up to 129% (2.29 times) as compared to filtered back projection for body imaging while reducing radiation dose,” the company says. The technology can be integrated into scan protocols adapting to the individual patient and clinical task at hand, requiring as little as three minutes for volumetric reconstructions, it adds.
