> FDA has cleared a Toshiba America Medical Systems 510(k) for its Aquilion Lightning CT system. The 16-detector row system is designed for routine volumetric scanning. It has a small footprint to allow providers to save on both space and cost, according to the company. It offers the company’s \[PURE\] ViSION CT Detector technology that is used in premium Toshiba CT systems and includes AIDR 3D Enhanced to help reduce dose and improve patient safety, the company says.

> “To simplify complex scans for more consistent imaging, the system comes standard with Adaptive Diagnostic solutions, such as Single Energy Metal Artifact Reduction (SEMAR) and \[SURE\] Subtraction, Toshiba notes. “These technologies, along with the industry’s thinnest slices, at 0.5 mm, and a 78-cm bore that is the widest in the 16-row detector radiology segment, help optimize workflow and patient comfort.”
