16 slice ct scanner

Manufactured by Siemens

Sourced in Germany

The 16-slice CT scanner is a medical imaging device that uses X-ray technology to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the human body. It is capable of producing high-quality, three-dimensional images of internal structures, such as organs, bones, and blood vessels. The device acquires multiple slices or images simultaneously, allowing for faster scanning times and improved image quality compared to earlier CT scanners.

Gun-type ¹²⁵I seed implants (Model-6711) were supplied by Atom-Hitech Limited (HTA Co. Ltd., China). The radioactive particle implantation treatment system (KL-SIRPS-3D) was provided by the Beijing Institute of Medical Science and Technology. The 18 G puncture needles were from Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA. The 16-slice CT scanner was from Siemens, Germany.
¹²⁵I seeds were tested for activity by the nuclear medicine specialist at the hospital, and then packaged into clips and sterilized by autoclaving. The Ag rod with ¹²⁵I was mounted in the titanium tube and sealed at both ends. The length of the rod was 4.50 ± 0.3 mm and the external diameter was 0.80 ± 0.03 mm. The half-life of ¹²⁵I seed was 59.6 days. Electron capture decay is accompanied by characteristic X-rays and internal conversion electrons. The electrons are absorbed by the titanium wall of the sealed ¹²⁵I seed source. The predominant Te-KX characteristic X-rays are 27.4 and 31.4 keV, and γ-rays of 35.5 keV. The tissue penetration of ¹²⁵I was only 1.7 cm.

COVID-19 Chest CT Imaging Evaluation

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

After the RT-PCR swabs were taken, all patients underwent chest CT-scan in a supine position during end-inspiration without contrast medium injection. Chest CT was performed on a 16-slice CT-scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) dedicated in our hospital only for patients with COVID-19.
Two radiologists in consensus with 13 and 22 years of experience evaluated the CT-scans and categorized each CT as no feature of COVID-19 pneumonia (negative), uncommonly or not reported features of COVID-19 pneumonia (atypical), non-specific features of COVID-19 pneumonia (indeterminate), and common features of COVID-19 pneumonia (typical).[10 (link)]

Head and Neck CT Imaging Protocol

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

In this work CT scan refers to a series of images, while an image represents a single frame of the CT scan. Longitudinal fan-beam CT scans were acquired using a Siemens 16-slice CT scanner with standard clinical HN protocol. The protocol utilized 120kV potential and tube current of 400mAs. A helical scan with 1 rotation per second was used with a slice thickness of 2 mm and table increment of 1.2mm. The field of view was 50×50 cm, mapped to a slices of 512×512 pixels, with a pixel size of 0.0977×0.0977 cm².
All CT scans were acquired on the same scanner, and a Hounsfield Unit-to-electron density calibration table reproduced from the clinical treatment planning system is listed in Table 3 for reference.

Comprehensive Radiographic Evaluation of Chronic Lung Diseases

All the patients underwent chest radiography (CXR) using a Carestream (Carestream Health, Rochester, NY, USA) machine at their first visits. In addition, 17 patients underwent high-resolution chest CT and CT scans of the paranasal sinuses using a 16-slice CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). The indications for a chest CT scan were recurrent pulmonary exacerbations and the presence of signs of chronic suppurative lung diseases, such as finger clubbing and chest crackles. CXR and CT films were interpreted by a pediatric radiologist with ten years of experience following passing the medical board exam. CXR and CT films were evaluated for the presence, distribution, and characteristics of consolidation, mucus plug, and bronchiectasis. Changes in the paranasal sinuses on CT scan were assessed for mucosal thickening, the obstruction of the sinus ostia, and the opacification of the sinuses.

The computed tomography (CT) scans were achieved using a 16-slice CT scanner (Siemens, Munich, Germany) for all participants with technical parameters for all considerations. Characteristics of CT scans, like lesion distribution (uni, or bilateral), central to peripheral distribution, the number of involved lobes, and also patterns of the lesion (ground-glass opacity (GGO)) and consolidation were evaluated. All the CT scan data were reviewed by an expert specialist.

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.
