How to START or STOP CT SCAN machine

Guidelines to know about ct scan machine before operating:- Radiation technology #08


How to start machine >

Before entering in the room sanitize yourself and patients atendent.
First of all start the gantry by pushing START  button on HT transformar,always insure that air-conditioner should be ON to maintain cooling.
The room temperature should be maintain at 16°C to 22°C .

When it is start- always start tube warm up it will take some time(60-180 sec) to warm the tube.
Now you can do your procedure..

How to shutdown or stop machine>

How to shutdown ct scan machine
- If you want to shut off the machine check the temperature of the machine, if it is below 15°C or in between 15-18°C then shutdown the gantry by pushing START - STOP button on the HT transformar,
Now shutdown the computer.

                                                                                 radiation technology #1 what is radiation technology ? radiation is the branch of physics. it is used in medical field, nuclear rector, defence & many areas. radiation is mostly two type 1.  ionising radiation 2. non ionising radiation   1 ionising radiation  - most of the radiation is ionised.  alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, & x rays       are ionised.        it is used in dignosis and treatment of disease in medical        it is used for energy production in nuclear reactor      alpha rays can't penetrate to paper but beta rays penetrate to paper and stop by plastic xrays and gamma ray...

X ray Tube :- An  X-ray tube  is a vacuum tube  that converts electrical  energy input  into x rays photons.  X ray tube  X-ray tubes are also used in CT scaners , airport luggage scanners,  material and structure analysis, in  industries. There are two type x ray tubes are used:- 1. Conventional or old type tubes 2. Modern x ray tubes 1. Conventional type -  there are two tubes which are used in the early. (a) crooks tube  (b) Coolidge tube (A) crooks tube - X ray tube or crooks tube Firstly the tube used by wilhelm conard Roentgen  ( in 8 November 1895) for x ray production is a crooks tube . →these are also called cold cathode tube. →These tube has very low vacuum 0.1 Pa because there are electron produce by ionisation of moliqule of gas present in tube. These first generation  Crookes  X-ray tubes were used until the 1920s. (B) coolidge tube- These tubes are replaced by William Cooli...

X -RAY PRODUCTION :- when highly energetic electron (kinetic energy) strike on a target matel produce X RAY and heat there are 99 percent heat and 1 persent X RAY WHEN the electron suddnely strike to the matel target. they loss there kinetic energy with intercation with target`s electron and there are production of x ray and low energy electron contribute in heat increases. x ray production > this process is done in a vaccum tubes called X RAY TUBE . specially made for x ray production   these are many type of tubes we discuss it an different lesson. there are two type of X RAYS 1) CONTINUOUS or bremsstrahlung xray 2) CHARACTERISTIC XRAY (1) CONTINUOUS OR BREMSSTRAHLUNG X RAY :-  the bremsstrahlung is a german word , meaning breaking radiation. it is a process of radioactive collision between the electron and a nucleus in the target . >  the electron while passing near the nucleus may suffer a sudden deflection and acceleration by the...
