Guide View provides a clinical “roadmap”
Toshiba’s “Guide View” provides a superimposed roadmap over live fluoroscopy images, facilitating
accurate device placement within a targeted vascular anatomy.
Unique technology enhances visualization (in black or white) of the catheters or guide wires
Advanced image processing technology
The use of Toshiba's unique Advanced Digital Compensation Filter (ADCF) and Digital
Pattern Recognition Filter (DPRF) in combination produces images of unparalleled clarity.
ADCF is a background processing technique that is useful for reducing halation in the lung
field and for correcting dark areas such as the mediastinum. DPRF is useful for depicting
devices and blood vessels. It enhances the contrast of devices and blood vessels and at the
same time recognizes all other areas as noise, reducing the amplitude of the signals from
these areas.
SNRF significantly reduces image noise in 14-bit gray scale images without requiring the
X-ray dose to be increased. It achieves this by recognizing and reducing the noise components
in each individual image frame.

Variable dose mode
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.
Dose display
Radiation dose can be monitored in real time. The operator can
observe dose levels on a digital display in the examination room.
Virtual collimation
After fluoroscopy, virtual collimation uses software to simulate
collimator and beam filter positions. This lets operators adjust
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.
Clinicians enjoy the added advantage of
increased productivity and patient care with
complete tableside control.
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.

More efficient exams with parallel processing and true multitasking
Simultaneously processing and transferring image data during acquisition yields quick, efficient exams. For
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.
The advantages of parallel processing
Representative reference images can be displayed on
the reference monitor as a thumbnail. The images can be
easily selected by mouse operation.
Live monitor Reference monitor

dramatically boosts productivity.
VF-i/BP
is equipped with Sequential Navigation for physicians to quickly “navigate” through
an exam (e.g., carotid, renal or runoff).
VF-i/BP executes the preferred angles, projections,
and acquisition parameters, all from memory. One touch of a button enables navigation
through the routine settings for each exam type. Operators have the freedom to change any
parameter throughout the procedure without disrupting Sequential Navigation.
