Slip Ring CT (Key Component of Modern 3rd Generation Computed Tomography)

After the invention of CT itself and moving from first generation CT to third generation CT the incorporation of slip rings into modern CT is the most import enabler of improved scanning. It has enabled a number of clinical applications which were hypothesized when the Nobel Prize was granted for CT, but not possible until slip-ring CT was a reality.
Slip-ring CT is the technology which enables power and data to be transferred without physical cables connecting the stationary and rotating portions of the CT gantry. The slip-ring enables continuous gantry rotation which in tern enables multiple acquisition types including: helical CT, cine CT, cardiac CT, CT perfusion, gated lung imaging (i.e. 4D CT) and CT Fluoroscopy.

Excellent

[@HowRadiologyWorks]

Rajesh thanks for your comments

[@charliebrownn6622]

Thank u very much !! It’s a brilliant solution ! I always have the question of how this things are connected to the spinning wheel

[@HowRadiologyWorks]

There are some that can transfer with induction now without touching, ie brushless. For the traditional design think of a metal brush pushed against a metal wheel at an angle. If you rotate the wheel the brush can stay connected

[@JJ-en7pm]

Thank you!! Also can you not put loud music?

[@HowRadiologyWorks]

Thanks my newer videos do not have background music, appreciate the feedback

[@maggiit2400]

Lo pueden traducir al español😢

[@conormurray7056]

Misrepresents the fact that the most advanced scanners (Naetom alpha) don't cover the whole heart in one rotation but in fact at ultra-fast pitch.

Thanks for the comment, please see our video on helical vs axial where we cover that scan mode.

[@lorenzoboyd6889]

Please eliminate the music; it inhibits understanding.

[@HowRadiologyWorks]

Thanks for the comment, my newer videos have removed the music

[@HelloKittyFanMan]

Or at least turn it down by a lot of volume.
