Aquilion rxl

Manufactured by Toshiba

Sourced in Japan

The Aquilion RXL is a computed tomography (CT) scanner developed by Toshiba. It is designed to provide high-quality imaging for various medical applications. The core function of the Aquilion RXL is to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the human body, which can be used for diagnostic purposes.

Cross-sectional Imaging of Canine IVDS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Cross‐sectional imaging was performed under general anesthesia. All dogs underwent CT using a 16‐slice CT machine (Aquilion RXL; Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and MRI using a low field 0.25 Tesla (T) permanent magnet (Esaote VetMR Grande, Genova, Italy) or a high field 1.5 T magnet (Siemens MAGNETOM Sempra, Erlanger, Germany). The CT imaging conditions were standardized using a spinal protocol with the following acquisition parameters: pitch factor of 0.938 and helical pitch of 15.0, thickness of 0.5 to 1 mm (depending on the weight of the dog), modulation amperage (within 30‐150 mA, depending on the weight of the dog), and tube peak voltage of 100 kV.
We evaluated all MRI studies to establish which IVDS were imaged and which had imaging features of discospondylitis (MRI‐affected). Secondly, MRI‐affected IVDS were assessed using concurrently acquired CT, as described below.

Pulmonary CT Angiography for Suspected PE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The routine protocol implemented in our department for patients with suspected PE is multidetector pulmonary CT angiography with 16-slice multi-detector CT (Toshiba Aquilion RXL) after intravenous injection of 60 ml iodinated contrast agent (Rovi Iomeron) at a flow rate of 4 ml/s, triggered on the main pulmonary artery. CT scan settings were 100 kVp, rotation time 5 s, average tube current 500 mA and pitch 1×16. All chest CT scans with patterns consistent with COVID-19 and presence of PE were reviewed by 2 expert thoracic radiologists blinded to patient status and clinical and laboratory test results.

Low-Dose 3D-CT for Fetal Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

3D-CT (Aquilion RXL; TOSHIBA, Tokyo, Japan) was only performed after thoroughly explaining the potential effects of radiation exposure to the mother and receiving informed consent from the mother. To minimize exposure of the fetus to radiation without compromising image quality, the following predetermined settings (Table 1) were used for volume acquisition. This was low-dose 3D-CT, a median CT dose index volume (CTDI vol ) of 3.5 mGy (range: 1.9-4.9 mGy), that we reduced to approximately 30% of radiation doses to be required in the case of an examination for standard dose of abdominal CT. We created a maximum intensity projection (MIP) image from 3D-CT images for diagnosis, if necessary. Additional tests, such as MRI or amniotic chromosomal testing, were performed if required to determine fetal prognosis or to differentiate skeletal dysplasia from other diseases. Lethality was determined by the presence of a narrow thorax and lung hypoplasia based on ultrasonograms and MRI images.

Cross-Sectional Imaging of Feline Anatomy

Cross-sectional imaging was performed under general anaesthesia. All cats underwent CT using a multislice CT machine (Aquilion RXL; Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and MRI using a low field 0.25 Tesla (T) permanent magnet (Esaote VetMR Grande, Genova, Italy), a low field 0.4 T (Aperto MRI, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan), or a high field 1.5 T (Signa HDe, General Electric, London, UK). MRI studies included a minimum of T2-weighted (T2W) sagittal and transverse images in all cases, a pre and post-contrast T1-weighted (T1W) and/or short tau inversion recovery (STIR) dorsal, transverse or sagittal images in the remaining cases. Radiographic and CT studies were retrieved and assessed when available.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
