Table 1-2 General terms of the system
Term Description
System This system has four major hardware components, i.e., the gantry, the
patient table, the operator’s console, and the power distribution unit (PDU).
Each of them has a separate basic function and can be physically separated
from each other.
Gantry The gantry includes the X-ray emitter, the detector, the motor control
system and the integrated electronic device.
Patient table During the scanning, the patient table can move the patient in and out of
the gantry under the computer control.
Operator’s console The operator’s console is the interface with which the operator operates the
system and receives the raw data and images. The operator’s console
includes the operation console rack and relevant control system.
Power The PDU is used to restrict and isolate the power source, protect the
distribution medical imaging device from the disturbance of spike noise, harmonic
unit (PDU) noise and background noise, and ensure the clear and accurate scanning of
image.

Chapter IV System Overview
The system utilizes the attenuation information of X-ray when it penetrates the human body, and
reconstructs the CT images of the body which can be used for clinical diagnosis. This system has
24 rows of detectors, 360°scan can be up to 16 slices image at most in the same time.
4-1 General Process of CT Scan

After the patient positioning is completed, the operator selects the scanning protocol through the
operator’s console.
After the scan is started, the gantry rotates to the set speed; the X-ray tube emits X-ray; X-ray is
received by the detector after it has penetrated the human body; the detector turns the optical signal
into the electric signal;
The computer image processing system turns the abovementioned electric signals into digital
signals, and reconstructs the images with these data. The images are displayed on the display of the
operator’s console. The images can also be printed by the printer, or transmitted to the advanced
image workstation for diagnosis and other treatments as needed.
The images can be exported to the local and DVD, and the raw data of the image can be exported to
the local.
The operator shall try the best to operate according to the

procedure and prevent unintentional operation. Maloperation
may lead to unpredictable consequences and endanger the
safety of the patient or the machine. The operator must exercise
caution when operating the operator’s console.

8-7-4 Contrast scan
1. Introduction to contrast scan
Contrast scan refers to the scan after the intravenous injection of a certain amount of contrast agents.
During the contrast scan, the delay time of different scanning series can be set according to the change
of contrast agent in human body over time. The single- or multi-phase contrast scan can be conducted
respectively. The doctor can make a further diagnosis according to different enhancement characteristics
of the lesion in each phase.

phase scan. Each scan series will be started automatically after the preset delay time is over.
8-7-5 Perfusion scan

1. Introduction to perfusion scan
CT perfusion scan is different from the dynamic scanning. After the intravenous bolus injection of the
contrast, the perfusion scan conducts continuous CT scan to the region of interest (ROI) and obtains the
time-density curve of the ROI. Various perfusion parameters can be calculated utilizing different
mathematical models. Therefore, the blood perfusion change of local tissue can be effectively quantified.
It is important to determine the blood supply of a specific focus. It is widely used for the early detection
of cerebral infarction.

1. Introduction to interventional scan
Interventional scan refers to that the expected scan image of each trigger phase is obtained utilizing the
puncture technique in clinic. Interventional CT scan mainly has two objectives: 1. CT guided diagnosis;
2. CT guided treatment. For the purpose of diagnosis, interventional CT scan can be used for the biopsy
of brain, lung, mediastinum, liver, pancreas, kidney, adrenal gland, posterior peritoneum, pelvic masses
or lymph nodes, deep muscle and bone tissue. For the purpose of treatment, interventional CT scan can
be used for puncture drainage and intracavity drug injection of intracranial, thoracic, abdominal, and
pelvic organ hematoma or abscess, as well as CT-guided percutaneous puncture and incision for
prolapsed intervertebral disc. The effect is good.

14-2 Network Requirement

14-2-1 Basic information
The CT software system has 3 types of external communication interfaces: local, LAN and Internet. As
shown in the figure below:
Fig. 14-1 Communication interface
The medical data (including image data) exchange mode and the transmission protocol of three
communication interfaces are detailed below.
221
1. Local communication
The patient’s medical image data collected by CT are stored to local and DVD storage media through
local interface. There is no network connection involved. The data format is DICOM. It is a
unidirectional health data exchange.

2. LAN communication
The CT console obtains the patient’s registration information from the RIS system (bidirectional health
data exchange. CT makes a request, while the RIS system replies). Then the patient’s medical image
data collected are sent to the hospital’s PACS system or image workstation for storage and image
processing (unidirectional health data exchange). The data format is DICOM. The CT console can be
connected to the printer in the LAN to print the image data (unidirectional health data exchange). The
LAN is limited to the hospital’s network facilities. The LAN is isolated and protected by the firewall
and uniformly managed by the Information Department of the hospital.
3. Internet communication
The built-in RMS system of the CT software system remotely connects to the data center of the
equipment through TCP/IP. The RMS system has the function of remote equipment information
management, remote equipment monitoring and remote equipment maintenance, etc. The RMS system
remotely monitors the working condition of the equipment through collected telemetry data. It belongs
to the unidirectional equipment data exchange.
Main hardware of RMS: 1. Repeater, 2. Firewall, 3. Router/WLAN card, 4. Servers: web server,
application server, database server; as shown below:
Fig. 14-2 Main hardware of RMS
222
14-2-2 Risk management
1. Local risk management
The CT software system assigns different rights for the software function, system configuration and user
data to 5 types of users which include “Emergency User”, “Operator”, “Supervisor”, “Service” and
“Engineer”, to ensure that relevant data can only be accessed and used by the authorized user through
the expected way within the authorized time.

User types and permissions
 User identification
Use account number and password to log in. The password can use a combination of letters and numbers
to increase the strength of the password.
 User type and permissions
Emergency User: Only can perform scanning and daily calibration and warm-up functions.
Operator: In addition to Emergency User permissions, they also can browse the images, manage the
patient information and print the films and.
Supervisor: Supervisor permissions are in addition to Operator permissions, they also have voice
management, protocol management, dose management, PACS configuration and printer setting
functions.
Service: Service permissions are in addition to Supervisor permissions, they also have part of the
functionality of the service tool. They can calibrate the detector, X-ray tube and the Image Quality. They
also can update the software.
Engineer: Engineers have full functional permissions. They can set up the user information for operator,
supervisor and service.
In addition, when the user stores the image data to DVD and local, the CT software system provides the
function option of anonymous storage, which can prevent the disclosure of the patient’s privacy and
ensure the confidentiality and availability of medical data.
2. LAN risk management
When medical image data are transmitted to the hospital PACS system and the image
workstation through LAN, abnormal conditions, such as inability to transmit, interruption of
transmission, inability of PACS system to receive and identify data, inability of image data
storage caused by mismatch of patient information and medical image information, may occur.
Therefore, when the CT image data transmission management module starts, it will detect
223
whether the network is abnormal and whether the image data information is complete. If the
transmission is abnormally interrupted, the image data transmission management module
provides a manual retransmission function to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the
image data.
3. Internet risk management
The remote operation and maintenance system isolates different network applications
physically or logically, establishes a dedicated VPN encryption system and isolates data
transmission from other subsystems, and adopts a professional firewall that can provide reliable
security and reliability for users of remote operation and maintenance system. The full firewall
protection and IP Security Virtual Private Network (VPN) are especially suitable for protecting
the privacy and stability of data.
14-3 System Performance Characteristics
This section describes the performance characteristics and the accuracy of system in detail.
14-3-1 Milliampere (mA) and milliampere second (mAs)
Milliampere (mA) is the measurement unit of current or flow of electrons. Milliampere second (mAs)
is the application time of a certain current (mA). Current (mA) × Exposure Time (S) = Milliampere
Second (mAs). It is the coefficient that controls the amount of X-ray generated in the target area. The
overall exposure (projection) of the image is controlled by mAs.
• Increasing mAs = Increasing the main signal intensity
• Reducing mAs =Reducing the main signal intensity
14-3-2 Kilovolt (kV) and kilovolt peak (kVp)
Kilovolt (kV) is the voltage of the X-ray tube. The kilovolt peak (kVp) is the maximum voltage applied
to the X-ray tube during X-ray generation. The kVp controls the contrast of X-ray image (the number
of gray levels between black and white in the image).
224
14-3-3 Half value layer (HVL)
Half value layer (HVL) is the thickness of a specific absorber (aluminum) at which the intensity of
radiation entering it is reduced by one half.

14-4 Image Quality
Image quality can be determined by image noise (SD), accuracy of CT number, consistency of images,
uniformity of CT number in image layer, modulation transfer function (MTF), high contrast resolution
(HCR) and low contrast resolution (LCR). Several typical factors will be explained in this manual.
226
14-4-1 Image noise
Noise refers to the deviation degree of the CT number of an area in the homogeneous substance image
from the mean value. The noise amplitude is expressed by the standard deviation (SD) of the CT number
of homogeneous substance in the region of interest.
