For over 130 years, Toshiba has led the world in developing technology to improve the quality of life. This Made for
Life™ commitment is reflected in our family of leading-edge imaging systems for MRI, CT, ultrasound, cath labs,
X-ray and nuclear medicine. From creating our first X-ray tube in 1915 to introducing the first Dynamic Volume CT
Scanner in 2007, Toshiba continues to build upon our legacy with technological innovation that improves patient
care while providing lasting quality for a lifetime of value.

for patients small to large

The 12" x 16" flat panel detector is designed for low-noise, high-resolution

fluoroscopic imaging. With four selectable fields of view, the operator can

optimize the view based on anatomical region. With imaging at up to

30 fps, the optimum fluoroscopic image for interventional exams is achieved.

Powerful image processing

Flat panel detector processing provides a wide range of Unique Guide View provides a clinical “roadmap”
edge enhancement and noise suppression refinements;
as many as 23 parameters can be changed to manage Toshiba’s “Guide View” provides a superimposed roadmap over live fluoroscopy images, facilitating
the image accurate device placement within a targeted vascular anatomy.

Four modes of fluoroscopy are standard at tableside. Unique technology enhances visualization (in black or white) of the catheters or guide wires
Frame rates from 1-30 fps can be selected at time of
installation

Innovative table design

To accommodate large patients, the table has a weight capacity
of 484 lbs. when fully extended, and when retracted, the table
provides an additional 220 lbs. of weight-bearing capacity.

Peripheral DSA
Oriented for wide coverage, the 12" x 16" flat panel provides full imaging of the lower extremities. After
programmed setup, the table is stepped by manual activation while watching the bolus flow for accurate
reliable results. Typically, a single injection can cover the total peripheral anatomy.

Dose-reduction technology Variable dose mode
for the patient and staff With the touch of a tableside button, the operator can choose
from four pre-programmed fluoroscopy modes. Different
combinations of pulse rates, dose level, and image processing
parameters optimize various study protocols.

collimation without additional fluoroscopy, further reducing
radiation dose.

Electronic zoom
Electronic zoom digitally enlarges images in real time during
fluoroscopy, without increasing dose. This eliminates the need to use
smaller fields of view on the detector for magnification purposes,
which would increase the dose required.

Fluoroscopic acquisition
Operators can capture still and dynamic images for future reference during
fluoroscopy. These archived images represent an alternative to fluorography
and a major reduction in dose exposure.

F-STORE: Fluoroscopic images for up to the last 10 seconds can be recorded

on the image disk after fluoroscopy is completed.

Dose display
Radiation dose can be monitored in real time. The operator can
observe dose levels on a digital display in the examination room.
X-ray beam filter
Toshiba’s beam filtration can dramatically reduce absorbed patient dose and radiation scatter. At tableside,
clinicians can select the mode of choice to limit dose and optimize image quality.

 Advanced system design More efficient exams with parallel processing and true multitasking
Simultaneously processing and transferring image data during acquisition yields quick, efficient exams. For
drives higher productivity example, during fluoroscopy and fluorography, operators can prepare for the next scheduled patient, process and
save images from a previous (or current) study, and transfer or archive images to an associated network.

VF-i/SP is equipped with Sequential Navigation for physicians to quickly “navigate” The advantages of parallel processing

through an exam (e.g., carotid, renal or runoff). VF-i/SP executes the preferred angles,

projections, and acquisition parameters, all from memory. One touch of a button is all

it takes to navigate through the routine settings for each exam type. Operators have

the freedom to change any parameter throughout the procedure without disrupting

Sequential Navigation.

VF-i/SP can store virtually any number of Customizable exam parameters include:
customized exam types for any number of operators. • C-arm position and angulation
This feature is unique to Toshiba and dramatically • Table height

The VF-i/SP comes standard with the six major DICOM Service Classes enabling Compact design for easy siting
efficient network integration. These DICOM features allow open access to patient

information while reducing examination time and enhancing overall department workflow.
