Differences Between Mobile CT and Conventional CT: Detailed Explanation of the Advantages of Mobile Intraoperative CT

 Conventional CT (Computed Tomography) refers to fixed, enclosed CT scanners, while Mobile CT (Portable CT) refers to movable, open CT scanners. Mobile CT offers greater flexibility and convenience compared to traditional CT scans, providing numerous benefits for medical staff.

Conventional CT machines are typically large and heavy, requiring installation in specific hospital rooms. Patients must be transported to the examination area for scans, which can be challenging for those with limited mobility. It has been reported that over 71% of ICU patients experience adverse events during transport to the CT room. Additionally, hospitals often have a limited number of CT scanners, leading to longer wait times for scans and reports.

Mobile CT devices come in two types: mobile vehicle-mounted CT and mobile intraoperative CT (3D C-arm X-ray machines).

  1. Vehicle-Mounted CT can be transported to various locations, including remote areas and emergency sites. This system integrates CT equipment, emergency devices, and mobile communication systems, allowing for rapid on-site examinations and diagnoses. It also enables remote online consultations, reducing the time and cost for patients to travel to hospitals and improving efficiency and quality.
  2. Mobile Intraoperative CT, also known as bedside CT or portable CT, is often used in orthopedic imaging as a 3D mobile C-arm, commonly referred to as “intraoperative mobile CT.”

Mobile intraoperative CT systems house essential imaging components, such as the X-ray tube, emitter, and detector, within a movable frame. These systems feature a built-in drive system, allowing a single person to move the unit easily. This setup facilitates timely patient examinations without leaving the monitoring environment, minimizing the risks associated with patient transport. For instance, Perlove Medical’s new PLX C7600 series mobile 3D C-arm employs a fully motorized control system, enabling easy adjustment of the equipment’s position and imaging angle with the touch of a button. Compared to manual operation, motorized control offers simpler, more convenient, and safer handling, with travel and rotation angles displayed numerically for precise positioning.

A significant advantage of mobile intraoperative CT is its use of single-phase AC power without requiring electrical modifications. Unlike traditional spiral CT scanners that require specific installation environments, mobile CT can be powered by any standard wall outlet and can continue scanning with its built-in battery even in the event of a power outage.

Additionally, mobile intraoperative CT is superior to conventional CT in radiation dose control, providing high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure.https://www.perlove.net/differences-between-mobile-ct-and-conventional-ct-detailed-explanation-of-the-advantages-of-mobile-intraoperative-ct-3/

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which will continue with a positive pressure mask airflow into the airway. Oxygen in this manner machine called CPAP machine. Refers to the spontaneous breathing condition, the patient should have stable respiratory drive and adequate tidal volume, the entire respiratory cycle artificially impose a degree of airway pressure, thus contributing to preventing airway collapse, increased functional residual capacity improve lung compliance, and improve oxygenation. In this mode, the ventilator only maintain a certain positive airway pressure, without mechanical ventilation. Only patients with spontaneous breathing. S1600 is the type of electrically and pneumatically controlled synchronous respirator with time switch. It is mainly used for the saving of patients with respiratory failure field surgical operation and resuscitation after surgical operation. It can be used in the ambulance transportation and surgical operation outside, respiration ...

CPAP continuous positive airway pressure  (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), namely with the mask will continuous positive pressure airflow into the airway. Use this way to oxygen machine called CPAP ventilator. So, what is the working principle of CPAP respirator? (perlong medical -- S9600 ventilator) In daily life, when we breathe, intrapulmonary pressure below the atmospheric pressure, air can enter lung, when the two kinds of pressure balance, the suction stop; exhale, intrapulmonary pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, breath, when intrapulmonary pressure increased continuously, and is equal to atmospheric pressure, breath stop. Application of continuous positive airway pressure, breathe in, there is a pressure to push air into the lungs, expiratory when also the existence of an additional pressure, prevent gas exhaled. The additional pressure on the inspiratory and expiratory all play a role, but no size change, it is called a continuous positive airway p...
