CT

16-slice CT is well-matched to community hospitals and outpatient centers doing routine head, chest, abdomen, and extremity exams. 64-slice is the workhorse for ER, vascular runoffs, and basic cardiac gating, while 128-slice (or dual-source) is needed for coronary CTA, low-dose pediatric, and high-volume trauma. ARRAD will quote multiple slice counts against your actual case mix so you do not overspend on detector rows you will not use.

Tube replacement is the largest single service cost on a CT, so we always disclose installed tube hours and remaining warranty. Below 250,000 mAs / 50,000 scan seconds is generally healthy on most platforms; above that you should budget for tube replacement within 12 to 24 months. Every ARRAD CT ships with documented tube life and a tube warranty option.

Yes, when properly refurbished. ARRAD CT scanners are deinstalled by experienced engineers, mechanically rebuilt, calibrated to OEM image quality specs, and validated under load before shipment. Many of our refurbished GE, Siemens, and Canon (Toshiba) systems serve Level III and II trauma centers across the US.

Iterative reconstruction is the single biggest lever - GE ASiR-V, Siemens SAFIRE / ADMIRE, Canon AIDR 3D, and Fujifilm IPV reduce dose 30 to 60% versus filtered back-projection without sacrificing diagnostic quality. ARRAD will confirm which iterative reconstruction license is installed on every CT we quote so you do not pay extra for software you assumed was included.

Any CT doing vascular, oncology, or ER work needs a dual-head power injector - typically a Medrad Stellant or Bayer Mallinckrodt OptiVantage. Injectors are quoted separately so the customer can match consumables, but ARRAD stocks refurbished injectors and will bundle injector, console, and warming sleeves with the CT package.
