Toshiba to showcase Infinix-i vascular X-ray product line at SIR annual meeting

Committed to developing technology to make vascular procedures faster, easier and safer, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. introduces new software for its Infinix^TM-i vascular X-ray systems, enabling high-speed 3D reconstruction and low-contrast imaging. Toshiba will showcase the Infinix-i vascular X-ray product line at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) annual meeting, March 24-29, 2012 in San Francisco (Booth #1328).    

The fast 3D image reconstruction speed is a valuable capability for interventionalists performing critical procedures, especially in the event of a complication. For example, if a bleed occurs during cerebral intervention, the fast 3D reconstruction enables clinicians to document the complication and display the anatomy to determine the next steps for treatment faster than before. When time is of the essence, the ability to quickly and accurately make a decision with greater confidence is critical.

Toshiba's Infinix-i further enables high efficiency and productivity with hovercraft-like movement, resulting in unrestricted patient access from head to toe and fingertip to fingertip to facilitate advanced, complex procedures with ease.

"This new software is another example of Toshiba's ability to place interventional radiologists at the forefront of patient safety with the tools needed to accurately and quickly diagnose patients," said Stephen Bumb, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. "Additionally, patient safety is enhanced with expanded fluoroscopy features that lower overall radiation dose."
