AMITA Health Imaging Services has low-dose, 128-slice CT machines as well as exam parameters to ensure the greatest exam detail with the lowest possible radiation E6KQD9U. MXR Imaging acquired Oxford Instrument Healthcare in May 202016, 64, 128 and 256 Slice CT Scanners - Assessing the Costs vs. BenefitsCost and Benefits of Various CT Scanner Slice OptionsCT scanners can be of great benefit to most healthcare providers due to their ability to capture high-resolution diagnostic images at a fast rate the scanner’s speed makes it a especially beneficial in the ER. However, CT scanners can be very expensive. They are complex machines, after all, which is why you'll want to carefully consider the different costs and benefits of the various types of CT scanners available on the Time To Buy a New CT Scan MachineThere are many different CT scanners to choose from with many different features to consider. The needs of your medical facility will help you know exactly what to look for in a CT scanner. The following are some of the important things to consider Image quality - The higher quality the images the CT scan captures are, the easier it will be to find and diagnose issues within the patient. This also means that the reverse is true-the lower quality the images are, the more difficult it may be to diagnose certain conditions, and the easier it will be to miss potential problems altogether. There are many factors that determine the image quality of a scanner, including the number of slices, the detector area coverage, the spatial resolution, and more. Patient volume - If you have a high patient volume, opt for a CT scanner with a wider area detector. Detector area coverage varies between scanners, even if they have the same number of slices. By choosing a system with a wider detector area, you'll be able to perform CT scans at a faster rate. Cardiac imaging needs - If you need a CT scanner to perform cardiac scans, a 64 slice system with a wider detector is essential to capture high-quality images while also maintaining an effective workflow. Patient safety - Although you can save money by purchasing older refurbished models, it's worth noting that newer CT scanners are capable of taking high-quality images with smaller doses of mSv. This is made possible through the use of more efficient detectors that capture photons. The use of iterative reconstructive software can also help to lower the dose while also improving image quality. Budget - If your budget was unlimited, you would obviously want to get the highest-end CT scanner available. Unfortunately, unlimited budgets are rarely the case. Beyond the initial cost of the CT scanner, you will also need to allocate a portion of your budget to the CT suite build-out as well as long-term maintenance and repair costs. You may find your choice of CT scanner is driven by budget constraints. Why Are CT Scanners So Expensive?The cost of a CT scanner is significant. This is because CT scanners are built using high-tech equipment and software. For example, CT scanners use X-Rays to capture and record images, which means that they need to use X-Ray tubes. Some X-Ray tubes cost upwards of $200,000 or more when the need to be replaced. Additionally, X-Ray tubes typically only last between 3 and 5 years depending on your patient throughput volume, eventually requiring replacement. It's why you need to budget for ongoing the spike in energy costs that will occur due to the amount of power needed to run a CT scanner, you will also need to pay for basic preventative maintenance, repairs, and replacements throughout its lifespan. On top of the initial cost of the CT scanner and the ongoing expense of maintaining it, you'll also have to pay to have the machine installed. Considering how big a CT scanner is and the specialized room it requires, the cost of installation can be quite Count Makes a DifferenceA "slice" refers to the individual tomographic or cross-sectional image that a CT scanner captures. Each slice is a 2-D image. However, CT scanners are capable of capturing multiple slices per rotation from different viewpoints of the patient. These images are combined to create a 3-D image. CT scanners come in more than 15 different slice configurations, from the basic one-slice CT scanner to the 640-slice CT Higher the Slice, the Higher the PriceThe more slices a CT scanner is capable of, the more expensive the machine will be. This is because the images it generates are much more detailed, making it easier to diagnose potentially difficult-to-identify conditions. High slice CT scanners tend to be faster as well. They cost more because they perform more work per Many Slices Do You Really Need?While, ideally, you would like to invest in a CT scanner with a high slice count, your budget may not allow for that. Fortunately, buying a CT scanner with a low slice count doesn't mean the machine itself is of low quality. In fact, many facilities do not need a high slice CT scanner. A 16-slice CT scanner can still capture high-resolution higher slice count tends to only be necessary if you have a high number of patients that need to be scanned on a daily basis since time is a factor in such cases. Higher slice count scanners are also beneficial for eliminating artifacts in cardiac imaging-but if you don't see a lot of patients with cardiac issues, you may not be able to justify the higher cost of a high slice CT scanner. Essentially, the slice count of your CT scanner should depend on what the needs of your facility CT Scanners vs. Traditional Lay DownStandard CT scanners require patients to lay down on their backs. They are then inserted through the bore into the gantry of the machine to be scanned. However, there are also CT scanners that allow the patient to simply stand or sit while being scanned. These standing CT scanners are less CT scanners are not quite as capable as some of the higher slice CT scanners, but they are smaller and use much less radiation. They are also perfect for capturing high-quality images of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons as well as for seeing how foot, ankle, and knee joints respond while bearing weight. This makes standing CT scanners a great option for orthopedic ScannersAnother more affordable alternative to a regular CT scanner is a mobile scanner. Mobile CT scanners are installed in trailers that are parked outside the facility. This means that you don't have to worry about renovating existing space within your facility to accommodate your CT scanner and you won't have to pay for expensive installation costs. You will, however, need to have space available CT scanners can be a great alternative if you have multiple facilities in need of a CT scanner since you can share that scanner between facilities if they do not need daily CT scanning capabilities. You can also rent mobile CT scanners instead of purchasing them. This tends to be a lot cheaper over the short-term. However, long-term costs do add up. If you're renting a mobile CT scanner for years on end, it's eventually going to eclipse how much it would have cost to have bought a CT scanner ScannersIf you have a limited budget to work with but need a CT scanner for your facility, one option is to purchase a refurbished CT scanner. The term "refurbished" often has negative connotations; however, don't let that scare you away. It's not quite the same as buying something a CT scanner is refurbished following ISO 13485 certified quality assurance procedures, it goes through a lengthy process to ensure it is in excellent working condition before it is sold. Every component is inspected, repaired, adjusted, cleaned or replaced. The machine will be carefully cleaned, disinfected, and repainted. The system will then go through a final check in a patient simulated environment to receive a seal of refurbishing process means that a refurbished CT scanner will not be more likely to need repairs or replacements than a new CT scanner. Not only will a refurbished system be less expensive, it will come with the same type of warranty. The only real drawback is when it comes to shopping for refurbished CT scanners; you probably won't find any units that are less than a few years Do You Decide Which Machine is Right For You?As you can see, there are many things to consider when you purchase a CT scanner, but the two most important things to consider are your budget and your patient needs. Take into account both the initial costs of the CT scanner including the CT suite build-out as well as ongoing costs, such as repair and maintenance. Then determine what the needs of your practice are to figure out what type of CT scanner you need and how high of a slice count is are you won't have an unlimited budget, which means you'll need to justify the costs of purchasing a CT scanner. If you have very basic needs and won't be using your CT scanner that often due to a limited patient need, then your facility probably doesn't need a high slice count and could potentially do just fine with a refurbished Lindsey National Sales and Marketing ManagerMXR Imaging64 Union Way, Vacaville, CA 95687 Today, the number of people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, renal disease, stroke, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease has been increasing due to our changed way of life and stress. The latest studies by the World health organization have show that coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death. One third of population dies because of this condition, especially in underdeveloped countries, including Thailand . The main factors in coronary artery disease are the narrowing and blockage of the arteries by plaque, which consists of cholesterol and calcium. The main risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress and cigarette smoking. To diagnose coronary artery disease, doctors will evaluate patient's risk factors and perform some tests and then will divide patients suspected to be at risk into two groups; high and low risk. After that, there are two main diagnostic procedures that will usually be performed; Conventional Coronary Angiography,CAG CAG, which accurately assesses the coronary arteries, is currently the diagnostic standard for clinical evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease, after which the patients can be immediately treated by Coronary Artery Bypass Graft CABG or placement of a stent. Although complications rarely happen, the following may occur; hematoma at the site of the arterial puncture, coronary dissection and air embolus because in this procedure, a then plastic tube is inserted into an artery in the leg and advanced through the body into the coronary arteries. It is also an expensive procedure, and the patient needs, to stay in hospital for about 4-6 hours. Cardiovascular Examination by 128-Slice CT “Ordinary” computerized X-Rays 16-slice CT were not as accurate in demonstrating coronary artery problems, because the heart, unlike other structure, is moving and beating inside the chest. However today, with the advent of the most advanced form of this imaging, the multi-slice detectors and high powered computer programs call the 128-Slice CT , in around 4 seconds; we can efficiently get information on the coronary anatomical features in as few beats as possible, with 90% accuracy. The CT has various advantages. It helps doctors to make the diagnosis of certain diseases faster, more easily, and potentially more accurately. Furthermore, after this procedure, the patients do not have to stay in hospital. The 128-Slice CT is now a well known procedure leading to diagnosis of all diseases related to arteries or vessels. Those who should have a cardiovascular check up include Those with the following risk factors for heart diseases; High Cholesterol - Diabetes Smoking - Family history of heart disease Those suspected of being at high risk of narrowed coronary arteries; Suffering from chest pain - Having an abnormal Stress Test Those having had the following treatment due to coronary artery disease; Insertion of stents - Coronary artery bypass graft surgery CABG There are certain groups who are not suitable for CT scanning using contrast agents as it may cause sever allergy and acute renal failure; Severe asthmatics Heart failure Renal disease with high creatinine or chronic renal failure A history of allergy to sea food and/ or contrast agents High speed 128-Slice CT for other parts of body examination To diagnose cardiovascular disease through narrowed vessels To diagnose blockages in arteries/ vessels all over the body such as heart, brain, kidney, extremities, etc. To diagnose pre-cancerous tumors in intestine and lungs To examine bone abnormalities To diagnose abnormality of brain issue To diagnose abnormality of abdominal tissue Others including diagnosis of abnormalities of blood vessels, such as aneurysm, and to measure abdominal fat, which is related to the quantity of calcium in arterial walls coronary calcification and to evaluate risk factors in the cardiovascular system.
