vHP3*—Variable Helical Parameters

Overall faster scan times make vHP3 compliant to the needs of the patient, and shorten exam times for trauma imaging when every second is critical.

With this technology, a single series reconstruction enables several studies to be interpreted simultaneously for faster scans when every second counts.

vHP3 may also help you:

  • Decrease radiation dose
  • Decrease the amount of IV contrast needed
  • Improve the workflow of complex clinical exams
  • Option

Easy Patient Positioning

Aquilion Prime SP’s accessible gantry and couch have been designed for enhanced comfort, particularly for bariatric patients or those who are elderly and living with cancer.

  • Option

Aquilion Prime SP's accessible gantry design and powerful advanced imaging applications deliver an ideal oncology solution to assist clinicians with visualization, staging and treatment planning.
