The Asteion VP marks the entry level of the famous Toshiba A-series. Also the Asteion VP uses Toshiba proprietary imaging technology to optimize image quality. The system can be extended with a large range of options to make it exactly fit to virtually every departmental need. The Asteion VP is your reliable partner for routine CT scanning.
Dose reduction functions
■ SUREExposure
Real-time exposure control with SUREExposure™ automatically adjusts the tube current to patient anatomy to reduce dose with no loss in image quality.
Up to 40% dose reduction
Automatic tube current modulation
Dose optimized for each patient's anatomy
■ Quantum denoising software
Quantum Denoising Software (QDS) is a powerful tool Toshiba has developed to remove noise in reconstructed images. QDS is an adaptive noise reduction algorithm that selectively smoothes out areas of uniform density while preserving the edge information within the image, thus reducing noise while increasing the signal to noise ratio and improving image quality.
QDS routinely reduces patient dose by up to 50% while maintaining both low and high contrast resolution.
