Aquilion lb scanner

Manufactured by Toshiba
Sourced in Japan

The Aquilion LB scanner is a medical imaging device manufactured by Toshiba. It is designed to capture high-quality diagnostic images through computed tomography (CT) scanning technology. The core function of the Aquilion LB is to acquire three-dimensional images of the human body for clinical analysis and diagnosis.

The prescribed dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions over the entire breast or the chest wall, and on the lymph nodes (level L4 + internal mammary nodes (IMN) +/− L3, L2 and L1). A boost from 10 to 16 Gy on the tumor base could also be applied in accordance with institutional recommendations.
All the planning scans were taken from the tragus to the intervertebral foramen L2/L3, without the injection of a contrast agent, using a Toshiba Aquilion LB scanner (Toshiba Corp., Minato, Japan). The width of the sections was 3 mm.
The patients were placed on their back using the AIO positioning system (ORFIT, Wijnegem, Belgium) on a surface at a 5° angle. Their arms were placed above the head, and an immobilization system was placed under the knees.
The scanner images were transferred to a contouring software (Eclipse 3D version 13.6; Varian Medical Systems Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA). Target volume delineation was performed in accordance with the ESTRO recommendations in force [1 (link)].
The anatomic humeral heads were delineated on simulation scanners in the treatment position.
The contoured images were then transferred to the tomotherapy machine’s planning system (TomoTherapy Hi-ART version 3.1.2.3; Tomotherapy Inc., Madison, WI, USA).

A CT scan (3 mm slices) was performed from the Tragus to L2/L3 without contrast agent using a Toshiba Aquilion LB scanner (Toshiba). Patients were placed in supine position with an AIO positioning system (ORFIT, Wijnegem Belgium) on a 5° inclined plane. An immobilization device was placed under the patient's knees. Both arms were positioned above the patient's head. A chin rest integrated in a heat-formed mask limited repositioning errors. Both breasts and the surgical scars were marked with radiopaque markers.

Ten patients with left-sided BCS, treated for breast carcinoma, were included. In a retrospective archive scan, numerous samples with a 3-mm section thickness, scanned from the upper level of the larynx and including both lungs, were selected from the Aquilion LB scanner (Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) brand computed tomography (CT) device. The samples were from CTs of patients who were placed prone on the breast board (MAX3™ PLUS Breast Board, USA), while the area was elevated parallel to the upper part of both arms and the sternum.

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.
