Overview

G.E. LightSpeed Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance is a skills development course designed as a continuation of the Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems (CT Phase 1) and Multi-Vendor Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance (CT Phase 2) courses. Through attending this course, the service professional will become self-confident in working on the gantries, patient transports, detector assemblies, 4/8/16/32 slice DAS systems, image processing systems, X-ray control systems, rotor controls, and operator control systems of the LightSpeed CT family. Hands-on lab time is emphasized, and makes up approximately 80% of the overall course content.

Prerequisites

To attend this course, the service professional must have an extensive knowledge of CT physics, physical principles and service procedures gained through attendance at the RSTI Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems (Phase 1) and RSTI Multi-Vendor Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance (CT Phase 2) courses or equivalent training and experience.

Objectives

Following attendance of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Perform scheduled maintenance on GE LightSpeed CT systems
  • Change the X-ray tube, realign and recalibrate the X-ray generator
  • Calibrate, replace and align the collimator
  • Calibrate, service, align, and use diagnostic tools to evaluate performance of the DAS and detector assembly
  • Calibrate, replace and align the hardware associated with the gantry and patient transport
  • Diagnose and correct problems in the scanning sequence
  • Troubleshoot gantry, patient transport and X-ray system problems
  • Diagnose and correct problems in the digital acquisition system and detector array
  • Diagnose and correct problems in the image generation system
  • Troubleshoot the operator workstation problems
