There are a number of factors to consider as far as the ideal CT scanner for you is concerned. These include the slice count, cooling system, software options, and mobile CT installations.
slice count
This is one of the most important factors to that should determine your CT systems purchase decision. The slice count of a CT is the precise number of 2D anatomical cross-sections captured in a single rotation. These cross-sections can be utilized to produce a 3D rendering of the anatomy in study. In used or refurbished CTs, common slice counts include 64, 16, 8, 4, and 2.
The time taken for a complete scan decreases with increase in slice count. This, in turn, has an impact on patient flow, output, and reimbursement revenue, as well as the up-front costs. In most cases, newer and more advanced CT technologies will come with higher upfront costs.
Choosing the right CT slice count will determine whether you not you observe a balance between your cash flow versus your patient flow.
The room in which you intend to place your CT scanner is also important as far as choosing the ideal machine is concerned. It is essential to think about which among the two types of CTs your room can accommodate in terms of spacing and utilities required. Consider factors such as plumbing, the capacity and performance reliability of your currently installed HVAC system and the spacing itself.
cooling system
The method through which the machine cools down is another important factor when choosing the ideal CT scanner. When electric machines overheat from build up excessive heat, electric faults could compromise the function. The cooling system comes in to prevent these. There are two main methods through which CTs prevent overheating: water cooling and air cooling.
Air Cooling
The equipment is cooled using a system of fans and open ventilation through the casing. There are some advantages in air-cooled systems including:
• Low maintenance
• Lesser footprint and fewer cabinets
• External chiller units may not be required
• No worries about quality of water
Water Cooling
There are external chillers or coolers with incoming water through plumbing. This system also has some advantages which include the following:
• Inconsistencies in humidity and ambient temperature concerns are lesser
• Scanning is quieter
• Low cleaning maintenance
• Less demanding in terms of HVAC systems for the room
Software Options
There are numerous CT software options out there in the market, but some of them are generally more preferred. Some of the major OEMs include Toshiba, GE, Siemens, and Philips, whose major radiation dose reduction programs include AIDR, ASIR, IRIS, and iDose respectively.
Especially for 64 slice scanners, cardiac options are among the top performers in the market. New CT scanners tend to cost extremely high, especially when cardiac options is what you are looking for. 64 slice CT scanners are the ideal type for cardiac options. In the US for instance, one should possess a 64 slice scanner in order to benefit from reimbursements on the cardiac tier. In most cases, one does not require to pay the premium for cardiac options on 64 slice machines, since they tend to be pre-enabled.
Other common options apart from cardiac and dose reduction include bone removal, dental, fluoroscopy, oncology, and perfusion scanners.
Mobile CT Installations
When considering the purchase of Ct to install in mobile trailers, there are also a few things to know in order to make the right decision. These include features to look for as well as the CT models available for mobile instillation.
Below are the features that make CT scanners more ideal for mobile installations.
- 16 slice count scanners – faster scanning comes with added vibration
- Designs for smaller footprints
- Air cooling systems – they do not require an external chiller
