FCT iStream：Reduce for Medical Costs

Solutions to Tackle Rising Medical Costs

3-Unit Design

The entire system comprises just three components:gantry, patient table, and operator’s console. No additional units such as the system transformer are required, so the space in the CT room can be used more freely, and it can be maximized for clinical use.

Here is a photo showing a female operator seated at the iStream operator console in the operation room, setting up scanning parameters. The photo also shows an elderly male patient lying on the iStream patient table, waiting before the scan begins.

Eco mode

The On-time Standby function reduces power consumption by up to 41%*¹ compared to when not in use by controlling the equipment built into the gantry.In addition, the Off-time mode function reduces power consumption during standby by up to 62%*¹ compared to when not in use by shutting off the power supply while maintaining the characteristics of the detector.

Here are illustration images showing power consumption during CT scanning, On-time Standby mode, and Off-time mode.The On-time Standby mode reduces power consumption by up to 41%, and the Off-time mode reduces it by up to 62%, compared to the non-operational state.Both reduction rates apply to the power consumption of the heater used to maintain the output characteristics of the X-ray detector.These measurements were obtained using the operator console CT-OC-23C.

Dose Management

Simple Dose Report

Similar to CT images, secondary capture images can be sent with dose information.

DICOM SR

Compliant with DICOM standards, dose information can be sent as a DICOM structured report.

Example of a dose information

*1 It is a reduction rate of the heater's power consumption to maintain the X-ray detector’s output characteristics.
