Servicing the GE CT Family (Non-HD): Revolution, Discovery, Optima, Brivo, VCT, LightSpeed, BrightSpeed

Overview

GE CT Family (Non-HD) Systems Maintenance is a skills development course designed as a continuation of the Principles of Servicing Computed Tomography Systems (CT Phase I) and Multi-Vendor Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance (CT Phase II) courses. Through attending this course, the service professional will become self-confident in servicing the LightSpeed, BrightSpeed, Discovery, Optima, and Brivo Non-HD CT systems. By working through the various gantry systems, table systems, detector configurations, 4/8/16/32/64 slice DAS systems, console configurations, X-ray Tubes and Generators, rotor controls, and power distribution systems of the GE Non-HD CT family of systems. Individual systems will be will be discussed in a modular format where a system is view as a collection of the various subsystems covered in class. 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 I) and RSTI Multi-Vendor Computed Tomography Systems Maintenance (CT Phase II) courses or equivalent training and experience.

Objectives

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

• Perform scheduled maintenance on GE Non-HD CT systems
• Change the X-ray tube, realign and recalibrate the system
• Calibrate, test, repair/replace and align the collimator
• Calibrate, repair, align, and use diagnostic tools to test/evaluate performance of the DAS and detector assemblies
• Calibrate, test, replace and align the hardware associated with the gantry and patient transport systems
• Diagnose and correct faults occurring during the scanning sequence
• Troubleshoot gantry, patient transport and X-ray system problems
• Diagnose and correct problems in the digital acquisition system (DAS) and detector array
• Diagnose and correct problems in the data transport and image processing systems
• Troubleshoot and resolve console problems, reload software, backup/restore system settings
