This is a basic overview of how to setup the control panel for scanning. This was done using a GE Lightspeed 16. Thanks to the students who helped me film it.
This is the only and best video for beginners.... I have been searching... Please do more videos.... Reconstruction, reformating and different exams and their procedures like the angiography, colonography etc... Thanks
What are the show recon buttons for? What do they do? Are they used more for temporal bone study to split the rt and lt temporals without additional exposure or are they more for coronal, axial or sagittal plane
Thanks for the video... I am learning how to use this machine... I usually work with Toshiba... And I would be thankful if you could explain more about this GE mashine please...
Very good Kelvin, very good. You did not explain which laser light did you used on landmark, inside or outside light, axial is a geometrical plane, you said ct with contrast , i don't see smartprep setup or otherwise. anyway Kevin excelent!!
One quick question? If it does both the abdominal and pelvic scan at ones, why does it ask the patient to hold their breath twice? Or is my assumption that the both are done at once wrong?
The initial scan protocol with 2 series is the low dose scout scan or localizer scan. The table moves in and out at known constant rate so system scan capabilities are limited by detector and Collimator configuration. Since he has a 16 detector configuration that is limited to 4x5, 20mm thickness the scan time is really dependent on scan coverage. If scan time exceeds a certain time period, it is recommended to split series to let the patient breathe or let the X-ray tube cool. TLDR: it’s correct for that system. Systems with wider detector coverage can run the same scan in roughly half the time
@@MRIPETCTSupportEngineer Thank you for taking the time to respond. Is it be fair to say then that a patient who is require to hold their breath twice would receive a greater dose of radiation? Given that the scan time was greater than what could be accomplished with one breath hold. Or is it actually beneficial to have the patient hold their breath twice as a lower dose can be utilized during the scan?
It is VERY possible to crash the CT computer. The whole computer for this scanner (and probably even the newer 64 Slice ones) is a simple computer tower sitting inside the desk where the console is. This computer that is used in the video (the 16 slice scanner) is actually pretty ancient compared to today's PCs. The various ways it could crash off the top of my head pertain to memory issues. For instance if you use up the memory for storing images (the slice counter right hand screen), the scanner will lock up many functions and will prevent scanning (strangely with no error message on this scanner). This is happened to me many times and even during scanning of a patient (in which I went back to the Image browser and deleted the files that very old). Other ways to crash the CT computer (it sounds awful saying this) would be to let dust build up inside the computer (lack of PM services) and the computer overheats (I've been there), lack of system software updates (again PM service) and a few others. Otherwise this CT scanner in the facility that I work at is pretty reliable and has been a workhorse for over 10 years. We recently bought a Toshiba Aquillion 160 slice scanner and this is a completely different animal (it requires a completely separate computer room with racks and racks of computers to run all the functions of that scanner).
Kelvin Ng hi :) thank you, I have been trying to find out as much as I can as I am fascinated with medical equipment and how it works with computer technology, does an mri use computers too? also can patient monitors crash?
Great video! Very informative and HIPPA compliant 👌

Thanks for the video. I am a radiography student and your video helped me alot. Please make a video about recons and post processing features!
Kelvin this is an outstanding video. Thank you for taking out time and sharing some of your expertise.

Great video I trained on a GE9800..With regular films..so much has changed..and much less physical labor..
good job . thank you doctor .

Great presentation. Thank you.

Great Video! yes, please make more videos! Thank you.
czcams.com/channels/6HNm_yoVuXDuumLnNU3OAg.html?view_as=subscriber
amazing explanation!! please make more videos
Thank you so much for this vidéo.
Enjoyed it !!!
I like the pre-programmed voice.
Breathe in
Hold your breath
Breathe
This is so cool! I still can't decide whether to be a radiologist or an ophthalmologist..
Thanks for the video... I am learning how to use this machine... I usually work with Toshiba... And I would be thankful if you could explain more about this GE mashine please...
thank you
Thank you
I will be taking my CT ARRT exam by the end of this month. Wish me luck guys!
Mauricio Morales did u pass it? Me a year later lol
czcams.com/channels/6HNm_yoVuXDuumLnNU3OAg.html?view_as=subscriber
hey bud did you pass?, (asking 4 years later)
Yes, I passed. I am currently working as a CT Technologist with this pandemic 😷
Great
And Thank you:)
Muito obrigado
Very good Kelvin, very good.
You did not explain which laser light did you used on landmark, inside or outside light, axial is a geometrical plane, you said ct with contrast , i don't see smartprep setup or otherwise.
anyway Kevin excelent!!
how do i get the other trainings lessons
Please explain recon coronal Sagittal, PEStudies and retro recon in case you forget to tog gal y, n, y at the beginning thxs
Please include the recon functions coronal , sagittal thxs
Could you explain some of malfunction of CT scan
Hi could you make a video for ct angiogram of head? Thank you
nice working

Good
I need video about reformat the images plz.
Sorry for my English. Can you write me a name of this program?
could the ct scanner crash?
(computer?)
also, why?

hi :)
thank you, I have been trying to find out as much as I can as I am fascinated with medical equipment and how it works with computer technology,
does an mri use computers too?
also can patient monitors crash?
Salary
+Annie Mooney Sure can. We just reboot.
Sir ,i want to learn many studies
Im so inspires you hellp us by yoiur channel ,
06:51
So basically - performing a CT-scan is approx. the same as finding out of the stupid icons in Windows 10? Except the real fun ;)
I hope I never will never need a cat scan as I would be nervous I wouldn't like a Mir scan either
c t exam gulo hindi ba bangla te din

Tfw this is in your recommended.
you need to clarify the content
thank you
