Features to Consider when Choosing a PET CT Scanner for a Medical Establishment
PET CT Scanner, acronym for Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography Scanner is utilized in assessing the health of the internal organs and tissues of the body. This medical equipment is a significant part of the imaging technology used in the field of medical sciences and has helped to improve diagnostic outcomes. It has also lead to enhancement of the quality of services in healthcare. Their outdated traditional counterparts were also quite efficient except when metabolic changes on a more microscopic (cellular) level were to be monitored.
Detector Coverage Area and Slices
Higher the slices of a scanner, better is the quality of the images and faster is the processing. Usually the scanners have 32, 64, 256 and 320 slices. As with the coverage area, the larger it is, lesser number of images have to be put together to create an image.
Coverage area of 8 cms is considered wide.
Cost of Scanner
Depending on the model chosen, the cost of the PET CT scanner varies and it can be as high as INR 50 lakhs. This is quite a major investment and the same can be borne by availing medical equipment finance. These financial instruments are offered by banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and they have easier repayment as compared to conventional loans.
Radiation Exposure
Pet CT scans involve exposure to radiation of the range of 15 millisievert (msv) but contemporary machines have reduced this exposure to 1 msv or even lesser. Such machines have a higher cost.
So, by investing in the right scanning equipment having features designed to provide optimum imaging, a medical practise can provide the most inclusive services.
