Riverain SoftView bone suppression technology is designed to increase the clarity of chest X-rays by suppressing the boney structures (ribs, clavicles, etc.). The technology can be applied to every chest X-ray in the hospital, including portables, without the use of specialized imaging equipment, changes in imaging protocols or additional radiation dose to the patient.

Toshiba’s Aquilion One enables dynamic imaging of an entire organ, resulting in the ability to reduce diagnosis time from hours or days to minutes. The system covers up to 16 cm of anatomy using 320 ultra-high resolution, 0.5 mm detector elements to image an entire organ, including the brain or heart, in a single rotation, enabling rapid and accurate diagnosis when time is critical.
