The Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition's 16 cm wide area detector significantly improves your ability to obtain high-quality images for routine and advanced studies. With just one rotation, you can acquire an entire heart or a neonatal chest, in a fraction of a second—all with less dose and great z-axis temporal uniformity.
Brain Perfusion Extracranial AVM
Aquilion ONE / PRISM Edition
A dynamic 4D CTA DSA and whole brain perfusion was performed. Dynamic Volumetric 3D Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) demonstrate an extracranial suborbital arteriovenous malformation (AVM). 3D VR and Multiplanar Reformations (MPR) cerebral perfusion maps are also demonstrated.
