Mellanox InfiniBand Accelerates Toshiba Medical's AquilionONE

Mon Aug 18, 8:38 AM

SANTA CLARA, Calif. & YOKNEAM, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX)(TASE: MLNX.TA), a leading supplier of semiconductor-based, server and storage interconnect products, today announced that its InfiniBand adapters accelerate Toshiba Medicals AquilionONE, a new dynamic volume computed tomography system which significantly shortens patient diagnosis time, by enabling diagnosis of figure, dynamic image and function within a single scan, decreasing the need for multiple, duplicative tests and invasive procedures.

The AquilionONE acquires large volumes of thin-slice, high resolution data which can be rendered by advanced 3D volume and vessel visualization software to streamline image interpretation. Mellanox InfiniBand adapters provide high bandwidth and low latency to keep overhead away from the processor, allowing more CPUs to be used for the visualization process, reducing the overall job runtime.

InfiniBands high throughput, low latency unified interconnect dramatically reduces processing and job times for data-intensive applications, such as visualization and image diagnostics, and provides the ability for real-time manipulation and storage of large data sets, said Wayne Augsburger, vice president of business development at Mellanox Technologies. Toshiba Medicals AquilionONE, accelerated by Mellanox InfiniBand, has the potential to save lives and improve the quality of life for many people as medical personnel can now quickly determine if a patient has urgent problems that must be immediately treated.
