Introducing the Asteion Super 4 multislice CT system. This new addition to
Toshiba's multislice family combines high-end detector technology and
reconstruction algorithms with an easy to use single console interface,
providing exceptional image quality for all CT examinations. Outstanding
reconstruction speed and automated MPR generation of true isotropic data
extend your diagnostic capabilities and push productivity forward.
essentials

For nearly 90 years, Toshiba has maintained a global

leadership position by manufacturing diagnostic imaging

systems to improve the quality of patient care.

In the Asteion Super 4, Toshiba brings together innovative

technologies in a single console. Featuring fast and efficient

/ ^
image reconstruction, giving clinicians access to high-quality

images, and powerful diagnostic tools enhancing workflow,

productivity and clinical outcomes.
