Overview
Multi-Vendor Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance is a skills development course designed as a continuation of the Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems course (Phase 1). Through attending this course, the service professional will become self confident in working on the gantry, patient transport, detector assembly, DAS, SRU, X-ray control systems, andoperator workstation sub-systems. Special attention will be given to x-ray tube changes. 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 a good knowledge of CT physics and procedures gained through attendance at the RSTI Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems (Phase 1) course or equivalent experience.
Objectives
Following attendance of this course, participants will be able to:
- Change the X-ray tube, realign and recalibrate the X-ray generator
- Calibrate, replace and align the hardware associated with the gantry and patient transport
- Troubleshoot gantry, patient transport and X-ray systems
- Troubleshoot the digital acquisition system and detector array
- Troubleshoot the scan reconstruction unit
- Troubleshoot the operator workstation
