Computed tomography (CT) is an advanced medical imaging system used to obtain detailed images of internal body structures. In order for these devices, which provide high-accuracy diagnosis, to operate safely and for a long time, regular CT maintenance procedures must be performed. Anod provides CT device maintenance and technical support services for healthcare institutions, ensuring that the devices operate at their best performance.
Why is Periodic Maintenance Important in CT Devices?
Over time, mechanical wear, software updates or wear and tear on electrical components may occur in CT devices. Devices without periodic maintenance may pose a risk to patient safety and negatively affect diagnostic accuracy.
Advantages of periodic maintenance:
Longer Device Life: Regular maintenance extends the life of the device by preventing failure.
Higher Image Quality: A calibrated device provides clear and accurate images.
Patient Safety: Controlling radiation levels prevents unnecessary exposure.
Energy Efficiency: Well-maintained devices consume less energy, reducing costs.
Computerized Tomography Periodic Maintenance Process
The computerized tomography periodic maintenance process should be carried out by expert technicians in certain stages:
General Control of the Device:
The CT device components are reviewed and the condition of the mechanical and electronic parts is evaluated.
Cooling systems, fans and power units are examined.
X-ray Tube and Detector Tests:
X-ray tube operating time and density are checked.
Detector sensitivity and radiation dose are measured to ensure that it operates at a safe level.
Calibration and Image Quality Tests:
The computerized tomography device is calibrated.
Contrast and resolution levels are checked and optimized.
Software Updates and System Checks:
The latest software version of the device is loaded.
Error codes are scanned and possible software errors are eliminated.
Security and Radiation Tests:
The CT device is tested in terms of radiation levels and necessary checks are made for patient safety.
Emergency scenarios are tested to ensure that the system operates smoothly.
Final Tests and User Information:
After all checks are completed, test images are taken to verify system performance.
The user is informed about the points to be considered after maintenance.
Maintenance Frequency in Computerized Tomography Devices
The recommended maintenance intervals for computerized tomography devices used in healthcare institutions are as follows:
Monthly Maintenance: Basic cleaning and connection checks
3-Month Maintenance: Detector test and image quality assessment
6-Month Maintenance: Software updates, calibration and cooling system check
Annual Maintenance: Comprehensive tests, X-ray tube performance check and detailed calibration
