Johns Hopkins University Installs Toshiba Infinix DP-i/FD2.New Vascular Imaging System Increases Patient Comfort and Decreases Exam Time TUSTIN, Calif. -- The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, is a highly regarded medical school and biomedical research institute in the United States. and its Heart Institute is installing the Infinix([TM]) DP-i/FD2 imaging system from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. Johns Hopkins Noun 1. Johns Hopkins - United States financier and philanthropist who left money to found the university and hospital that bear his name in Baltimore (1795-1873) Hopkins 2. will use the system for detailed peripheral vascular work and coronary studies for more efficient, comprehensive patient care. The advantage of the Infinix Dual Plane system is having two independent flat panel detectors in the same room, one flat panel detector for coronary imaging and the other flat panel detector for vascular studies. This increases patient comfort and decreases exam time by eliminating the need to move the patient. "Johns Hopkins is a leading health institution with a reputation for excellence, and Toshiba is honored to partner with them to help round out the capabilities of their already-impressive cardiology offerings," said Robert Micer, director, X-Ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. "The Infinix DP-i/FD2 is an ideal system to meet the facility's cardiac and vascular imaging demands without compromise, and enables Johns Hopkins to obtain high-quality images with accurate anatomical detail, which results in improved diagnosis and treatment recommendations for their patients." About the Infinix DP-i/FD2 system The Infinix offers a parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer. system architecture, which permits background image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished and archiving without interrupting the exam. This powerful process enhances department work-flow and patient throughput. The system is equipped with tableside ta·ble·side n.

Additionally, the Windows[R]-based operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. provides an intuitive user interface familiar to most operators. Both the triple focus liquid-metal bearing tube for peripheral exams and the dual-focus tube for cardiac exams have a 3.0 million anode anode (ăn`ōd), electrode through which current enters an electric device. In electrolysis, it is the positive electrode in the electrolytic cell. anode Terminal or electrode from which electrons leave a system. heat capacity. This industry-leading rating eliminates delays and increases throughput.
