If you ever have a malfunction,

Toshiba can help identify the problem.

Toshiba has a medical equipment division that leads the world. Take the new Aquilon CAT scanner, for example. It builds extremely precise 3-D images of a patient’s body. Then, because each tissue has a slightly different density, a radiologist can remove them one at a time leaving only those of most interest

– like the blood vessels and heart in the images at right. It’s a revolutionary technology, made possible by a winning combination of Toshiba software and hardware. A balance also achieved in our notebooks.

The Taipei Financial Centre is the world’s tallest building – it has 101 above- ground floors and towers half a kilometre over the city. To handle the daily flow of people, Toshiba supplied and installed 61 elevators. Two of these service the highest floors. They’re able to reach speeds of 1,010 vertical metres a minute, making them the fastest elevators in the world – a fact recognised in the Guinness Book of Records in 2006.
