CT 256 Slices Philips Health System

vào

 

Acceleration from start up until 0.27s per turn. Rotating on an air cushion and propelled by a linear motor. New Philips iCT without the heavyweight gantry installed at the radiology department of the university hospital in Munich.

Is that the normal rotation speed when scanning? I didn't hear that noise when got my CT's

@Matt MrTornado Actually radiation exposure is less with a faster scanner as the scan times are shorter. Keep in mind that certain exams will require a greater exposure than others. Modern CT scanners employ a dynamic exposure reduction technique on the fly rather than relying on pre-programmed exposure protocols. This further reduces dosage by as much as 80% in some cases.

Does the rotating part of the gantry receive power via contact shoe just like a subway train?

The best bit about all the spinning stuff on there, is the stuff you can't see. 4 pound lumps of white hot tungsten metal at 4000 F spinning at 15,000 rpm while simultaneously energised to 150,000 Volts while consuming as much electricity as a 100 homes - all while the entire machine spins at nearly 300 rpm. But don't worry. It's perfectly safe.


If people quit complaining about how long the scan takes, they wouldn't make them go so fast.


Someday, they would probably put all this technology into a cell phone camera.


omg! now that i know whats inside...never o.O


I wished I could travel through time with this. Maybe you could add a Flux Capacitor and Time Circuits at the sides of the CT scanner and make it spin it faster than this, then as it hits 88,000rpm and opening up a portal, crossed your fingers and jump right thru...... The next thing you know, someone will find your body parts splattered all over the wall in the same dimension as they possibly know that time travel is impossible with our current technologies and resources. Amen.


UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION.


Do MRI machines spin too? And how much magnetism do these have, if any, as compared to the much greater strength of an MRI machine?


WOW that thing spins fast. I don't think I've seen a CT gantry spin at that speed before. Since this is 256 slice and has a deeper tunnel than some other CT's, does this mean the radiation exposure is greater than other machines?


holy shit, i expect a worm hole to open up


oh my god .. that thing just scared the crap out of me.. i would rather get back in that clausophobic tunnel from the mri than getting in that thing with the spinny aroundy thingy right there..


That would be funny to see a big series of sparks and pops with Carmina Burana!!!!


I know that it generates lots of data. How is it transfered from that rotating thing to computers? Wires can't be used since it is spinning...


-Lot of cooling/fan noise !



Just think, your laying inside of it with all that shit spinning really fast around you. 


@arohn2007 Actually this is a CT-Scanner But its very common that these two different devices get mixed up.


@carriersignal except most people don't know what goes on inside one of these machines ;)
