Toshiba Introduces Advanced Image Processing for its Infinix Cardiac Systems

CHICAGO — April 1, 2008 — At this year's American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting in Chicago, March 30 – April 1, 2008 (Booth # 8001), Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. will be showcasing its Advanced Image Processing (AIP) technology for its Infinix™ X-ray product line. With AIP, physicians will be able to better visualize even the smallest interventional devices and provide better patient care to patients undergoing interventional procedures.

"The image quality offered by Toshiba's Infinix line, particularly the AIP feature, is remarkable," said Dr. John S. Wilson, medical director, cardiovascular services, Washington Hospital. "AIP allows us to image bariatric patients, which was difficult to do before. It also gives us reduced background noise and improved device and vessel visualization, which allows us to increase workflow and provide better patient care during our interventional procedures."
