Not only Canada but the US as well, and Siemens is much larger in Europe. Having a Doctorate in front of you job title or name doesn't make you even remotely correct. I have corrected many rads in my time. Plus I'm half their age, I was an engineer at 19, and have colleges from around the world. Maybe GE wasn't big back in the day (9800 versions) but we are a world leader and trend setter now. Live with it make, I was on the design floor ;) .. You don't think i research other competitors??
Help anyone...I need to get scanned by one of these...particularly want to know if this can see nerves/bones/tissue clearly comparted to MRI/regular-ct. Where can I get scanned in/near OHIO USA? I really need to know what is going on with my body....
A CT scan involves a relatively high dose of inizing radiation (about 2 years worth of background radiation for a whole body scan), which carries inherent health risks, rendering them unsuitable for exploratory scanning in asymptomatic patients. MRI is much safer.
For your knowledge, the avarage dose of a cardiac scan is about 0,55-1,5 mSV which is lower than the relative radiation you emit by a overseas flight...
CT technology is much suitable for emergency cases + virtual angigraphy applications.
Entire cardiac or a cranial scan takes only 0,35 sec. with this device. Comparing to a high-end MRI system, the amount of info and the required time for the examination is very short.
This examination is only applied 1 in a life time...
An entire ct body scan would be pointless IMHO. I work on this equipment and if a doctor told me to get an entire scan, I would find myself a new physician. Plus this machine is overkill. Yes it can image a cardiac scan in .35 seconds but with 320 slices you are recieving in the higher end of the 1.5mSV you mentioned. plus annual exposure limits for the general public in Canada and the US I 100mrem/year (1mSV)
I did not mentioned anything about an entire body scan, which could be necessary in emergency patienst though...
Plus, this machine is not overkill as you say so. Try to keep up with new tech. We are not living in 1980's. If you wish I can send you the avarage dose with using 320 row dedector. How can you be so sure, without using this device !?
Plus, annual exposure limits for a citizen and a patient should vary, to keep the patient alive. 1,5msv is no big deal. Open your mind.
True emergency cases are different. Plus with all the new technology doctors want to use it just because its available. That's why people should be interested in does and the limits. It adds up over the years. I'm so sure because I'm a biomedical engineer that works for GE Health care (CT, MRI, Mammography, Angio). Google lowest CT patient doses. Our CT gives 50% less does with better image quality (detector is awesome).
Not trying to say your wrong just saying people should know.
Ahahah. My friend now I understand the nonsense in your objections about this device. Look, no need to be a fanboy. Everybody knows that GE is the weakest brand in the big 4.
GE is still dealing with 64 row dedectors and trying to polish its primitive technology with "gemstone" rethorics...
You may talk about MR tech as a GE guy, but step aside if the case is CT...
GE has nothing to do with it as you know.
How can you even dare to compare Discovery hd750 with an Aquilion ONE !
How is gemstone primitive? That's just the name of the detector not the actual components of it.
Weakest - wrong. GE and Phillips are the top sellers (in Canada) and Phillips usually only beat us out because of price (low end equip). There is no Toshiba or Siemens equipment in my area and we sell $6 mill +/year...
I can't compare because the A One is 2 1/2 years old and the HD750 is barely a year...
Yes it may be faster during the exam but at what cost?
My friend. You will improove your marketing skills in time. But for now, this clises are not enough to polish an 64 slice system.
You are talking about Canada and talking about GE and Philips as of being top sellers. I am not talking about turnover. I am talking about global CT sales !!! :D
And the worst point in your comparison is the year of technology :)))) Toshiba has invented a technology 2,5 years ago and still unbeated. ( Can u understand the difference now) ???
Rad's don't like the A One's. You can boast about the scan times and slices all you want. Are you gonna shell out the !.5 - 2 mill to buy them all? We out sell these machines greatly, not just cause of the service we offer but also because the technology is suited for daily routines and not just random instances. Take a look who's one of the best company's to work for over the last 5 years. GE breaks top 10 everytime....
Yes it was 2 years ago till Toshiba had enden it . Now because of being defeated, GE and the rest are now started just the vise versa . ( slice is not important blabla :)) Now learn these topic if you are going to be a sales man.
1-) The 640 slice system price is not giganticaly more than your 64 slice :D But the tech level is gigantic !
2-) I dont know who chooses ge as best but being best is something different than loby power.
Moreover. An Aquilion 64 or an Aquilion CX is doing the same aplications with halfprice of that system.
In canada, toshiba is not doing well I heard it before. But Canada is not the rest of the world. Ask anyone any radiologist ,honestly they will say, Toshiba is the best CT manufacturer of the world. GE maybe good at Echo Doppler, 4D Doppler and MRI buss. But deffinetely not in CT. Live with it mate . A doctor is speaking :D
