Brilliance 16 ct

Manufactured by Philips

Sourced in Germany

The Brilliance 16 CT is a computed tomography (CT) scanner manufactured by Philips. It is a medical imaging device that uses X-ray technology to produce high-quality, three-dimensional images of the body's internal structures. The Brilliance 16 CT is capable of capturing 16 slices of data per rotation, allowing for faster scanning times and reduced patient exposure to radiation.

COVID-19 CT Scanning Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All CT scans were performed with one of the five CT systems: SOMATOM Definition AS and SOMATOM Scope (Siemens, Germany), HiSpeed NX/i and LightSpeed VCT (GE, America), Brilliance 16 CT (Philips, America). The scanning parameters were as follow: tube voltage: 120 kV(p), tube current–exposure time product: range 50–200 mAs, slice thickness: 5 mm, reconstruction thickness: 0.625–1.5 mm, matrix:512 × 512, field of view 350 × 350 mm. Scanning position: all patients were supine with arms extended and held their breath during the CT scan.
To reduce nosocomial infection, there were 1–2 designated CT scanners in every hospital which were only used to scan COVID-19 patients. And channels were established between the isolation wards and the designated CT scanners for COVID-19 patients only. After the CT examinations of the patients, disinfected the examination bed surface, floor, air and equipment [10 (link)].

This study was performed in accordance with local ethical guidelines and regulations of Hamburg University School of Medicine and the University of Leeds. Fresh frozen human female femora were dissected within 48-hours post-mortem, frozen at −20°C (2 freeze-thaw cycles per specimen), defrosted overnight before biomechanical testing and kept wet with saline solution and impermeable covers.
Preparation was been previously described⁶ and specimens were stripped of soft tissue and underwent computer tomography scanning (CT, Brilliance 16 CT; Philips Healthcare, Hamburg, Germany) to screen for pre-existing bony pathology which would bias results and to estimate bone mineral density.

Multimodal CT Imaging in Stroke

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All CT examinations were performed on clinical multidetector CT scanners (Brilliance 16 CT, IQon Spectral CT, iCT 256, Philips Healthcare). CT examinations included non-enhanced CT, perfusion CT (optional) and CT angiography after injection of intravenous contrast agent (50 ml; Solutrast 370, Bracco Imaging) followed by 50 ml isotonic saline solution in bolus technique with bolus tracking in a single setting. Separate contrast media boluses in the same technique were used when both CT perfusion and CT angiography were performed. Standard parameters of image acquisition were as follows: slice thickness 1 or 2 mm, tube voltage 120 kVp, tube current (exposure time product) 82 mAs. Additionally, computer-assisted automated ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) measurements were performed for each patient as a supportive tool for the assessment of early ischemic changes.

Contrast-Enhanced CT and MRI Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All CT studies were performed on one of the 64-detector row CT scanners (LightSpeed VCT [GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI] or LightSpeed Xtra [GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI]) or a 16-detector row scanner (Brilliance 16 CT [Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands]). Imaging parameters varied by scanners but included: 120 kV; effective tube current-time charge, 200-250 mAs per section; reconstruction thickness, 2-5 mm; reconstruction increment, 1 mm. The area scanned extended from the diaphragmatic domes to the ischium. CT examinations that were enhanced with contrast material, were performed after intravenous injection of 100-120 mL of iopamidol (300 mg iodine per milliliter, Isovue 300; Braco Diagnostics, Monroe Township, NJ) injected at a rate of 3 mL/s. . Axial T2-weighted without fat suppression, axial T2-weighted sequences with fat suppression (when available), pre-and post-contrast 3D T1-weighted GRE images (when available) were reviewed.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
