Toshiba Introduces New X-ray System with 12'' x 12'' Flat Panels and Hybrid Catheterization Table at ACC 2010

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When working on patients in a hybrid setting, it is critical the imaging system provides outstanding image quality, as well as the flexibility to reach ancillary equipment and the patient quickly and easily. Designed to create a best-in-class hybrid suite, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. will showcase its InfinixTM VF-i biplane system with two identical 12'' x 12'' flat panel detectors and the CAT 880B hybrid catheterization table at this year’s American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting in Atlanta, March 14 - 16, 2010 (Booth # 1944).

“Toshiba is dedicated to improving patient access and flexibility during procedures to enhance the quality of care”

The new mid-sized 12'' x 12" flat panel detector expands the versatility of the Infinix-i line, which features a five-axis C-arm positioner and enables unprecedented patient access and coverage. The new mid-sized flat panel detector covers more anatomical area in one view. The ability to see more anatomy in one view reduces C-arm movement or table panning and decreases overall procedure time. The flexible system easily accommodates acquiring all standard views of the heart and is also beneficial when imaging anatomy outside the heart.

Along with the new mid-sized detector, the Infinix-i five-axis systems are now available with the new CAT 880B tilt/cradle hybrid catheterization table. This table is designed to allow greater positioning flexibility and patient access during imaging and surgery. The table functionality with side-to-side cradle and head-to-toe tilt permits clinicians to angle the table in the optimal position to quickly complete procedures. The flexibility and ergonomic design enhance the clinicians’ ability to work around the patient and accommodate views that conventional angiographic tables cannot achieve.
