Knoxville Hospital & Clinics has completed the installation of the AquilionTM PRIME 40 CT system from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc.

The Aquilion PRIME 40 will allow the hospital to give a better patient experience while providing clinicians with high-quality images for accurate diagnoses. Matt Byrd, Director of Imaging at Knoxville Hospital and Clinics said, “We installed this system to offer our patients the most advanced CT technology, so that our patients don’t have to choose between safety and comfort.” The new system features advanced radiation dose reduction, meeting federal XR-29 guidelines which regulate minimal dose exposure, dose confirmation prior to scan, and adult and pediatric protocols.
