Ed, the competition comes closer between the major CT makers.

Earlier, I came across an imaging article that included the Toshiba Aquilion One CT along with 3 others from GE, Philips & Siemens. None of these CT’s has real-time 3D imaging. I posted a couple of questions to Dean about these 4 CT scanners (#1692). Check out the link on the 4 CT's:

Toshiba's website shows good photos of the Aquilion One CT that weren't included in the article. The products page has some very nice images. However, this scanner is huge as compared to the people in the photo. Also, I believe Dean mentioned these newer scanners use some serious computing to get the speed, less radiation and high definition images, which means this machine is costly.
