  • A radiographer working at a hospital in Vejle, Denmark filmed the inside of a CT scanner while it was operating at full speed.
    The fascinating footage, captured by Morten Hjordt, shows the scanner spinning around at a great pace, barely making any noise.
    Hjordt told Newsflare: "I work full time as a radiologic technologist (radiographer) at a hospital in Vejle, Denmark.
    "I am mainly working on the CT scanners but also doing X-rays and ultrasound.
    "The is the first time I've ever seen an open CT spinning around. I find it amazing how far technology has come to build such a perfectly balanced machine."

Early CT machines could take minutes to scan, causing scans of moving organs like the heart and lungs to produce distorted and blurry images. A scanner this fast can get great images cuz, for example, your lungs can be scanned in a single breath hold. The science is MUCH more complicated to explain here but scans of the heart without any motion, and other great things, are possible due to this fast spinning and about 1000 other technical factors.

    In the old days, there were cables. It would spin once, then spin back. They would scan a slice, reset, and then move the bed up for the next slice. Now with it continually spinning, they can take a helical scan while moving the bed as it spins. Now the cables are no longer directly connected to the tube, camera, and electronics. On one end you have a tube that is receiving high current and voltage, and on the other you have an X-Ray camera transmitting the image, all connected by slip rings.

      The voltage is high but the current is relatively low. This is no camera opposite side, there is a detector array and the signals from the detector array have to be converted to image using a reconstructor which does some clever fourier transforms. :-) The old scanners mostly did just over half a turn before slip rings introduced in the 90's.

    The engineering of these devices is amazing. I am an automotive electronics engineer, During the first electronic control system fitted to cars in the 70's 80's and 90's, my job was very exciting. Being able to run the ignition systems electronically was claimed by some to be nothing more then a fad. When fuel injection and transmission control was added, many believed that using electronic components in cars was a huge mistake as the components themselves would quickly fail due to thermal and vibrational stress. I have completed component level repairs in systems from Bosch, Mitsubishi, General Motors and many more and we marvelled at the amazing complexity of these control or management systems. Most modern cars can have several control units, Engine and emmisions, transmission, Airbag and seat belt restraint, Climate control, 4 wheel drive control, body control and security. Those systems pale in comparison to medical instuments like this and the amount of knowledge and skill required to build and operated such a device.

It likely has bearing vibration sensors which are directly correlated to wear, prompting the machine to give operators a warning that bearing wear is occurring and that the machine needs maintenance within a specific number of hours of operation, in any case well in advance of any structural failure that could lead to harming the patient.

    I've been retired out of the biz for nearly 7 years now. I started maintaining/repairing CT's back in '85. The technology advanced by leaps and bounds in the 30 some years I worked on them (and MRI systems and other imaging modalities). When I retired, the top of the line CT's (Philips Medical) scan frames (the rotating part you see) spun at 4 revs/second. Their scan frames rode on air bearings. They would acquire up to 256 slices of info at a time. LIGHT years ahead of my first CT systems. The xray tube anode itself spins at 10,000 rpm. The spinning anode inside the tube weighs about 15 lbs. It rides on liquid bearings. I am amazed that the xray tubes would survive in that environment. There is tremendous force exerted on them as they spin. And then too, xray tubes are notoriously inefficient.

    A former co-worker whose husband was a maintenance manager for a company making MRI scanners told of a prank one of his techs would play, betting the hospital's scanner operator he couldn't throw his wallet through the scanner while it was running. Figuring he'd make an easy $10 or so, the operator would pull out his wallet and fling it through the running machine.

      What’s also interesting is the direction that most of the stray X-rays come out into the room. Initially I would have assumed that the stray X-rays would have mostly been radial, i.e. in the plane of the rotating assembly, due to them going through the image detector or nearby beside it. But apparently there’s enough shielding to prevent that. I have no idea whether the shielding rotates with the other stuff, or is stationary. Most of the stray X-ray radiation is along the axis of rotation, i.e. along the track and patient table, in both directions.
