Principles of Servicing CT Systems

Overview

Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems is designed for the service professional transitioning in CT service. This multivendor CT course teaches the skills necessary to understand the CT system, become self-confident in working on the gantry, patient transport, detector assembly, DAS, SRU, X-ray control systems, and operator 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.

The program is divided into seven major areas:

• Basic CT principles
• Safety procedures
• System operation
• Verification of system specifications
• System calibration
• Software maintenance, Backup/restore
• Troubleshooting to major subsystems
• Preventive maintenance
