Toshiba Medical Systems (legacy)
Japanese imaging OEM. Toshiba was a top-tier global imaging manufacturer for decades — best known for the Aquilion CT family (the wide-detector pioneer that introduced 320-slice volumetric CT in 2007), the Vantage MRI line, Aplio and Xario ultrasound platforms, and the Infinix interventional / cardiac angio line. Acquired by Canon Inc. in March 2016 and rebranded to Canon Medical Systems in January 2018; the installed base continues to span both names.
This manufacturer page exists so that pre-2016 systems carry the original Toshiba branding on their System Cards. For everything from late 2016 onward, see Canon Medical Systems.

Service & parts continuity
Canon Medical continues to service all Toshiba-branded systems through its global field-service network and parts depot. Most Toshiba-era spare parts are still available through Canon's standard parts catalog, with occasional NLA flags on the oldest tubes / detectors. Third-party ISO and refurbisher channels carry deep Toshiba parts inventory due to the size of the legacy installed base.
