GE BrightSpeed 16 with Performix/Solarix Tube:
Two potential pitfalls to be on the lookout for: make sure the BrightSpeed 16 you consider has the Performix tube or Solarix Tube
these are the top of the line when it comes to 'bread and butter' scanning. Why? They're 16-slice (so will get full reimbursements for 90% of all procedures)
Siemens Scope 16/32 Slice with 2MHU TUbe:
Like the BrightSpeed, the Siemens scope is 16-slices or 32 slices , but it's a few years newer.
less expensive parts and service than comparable scanners from other manufacturers
Tie: Toshiba Aquilion 16, GE lightspeed 16 and Siemens Emotion 16
Okay, maybe a three-way tie seems like a cop-out, but if budgetary constraints or fluctuations in availability have you ruling out an Scope or a BrightSpeed, any of these other 16-slice scanners can also be a solid runner-up in value.
The Takeaway :
There is no shortage of CT scanner options available, but as imaging facilities continue to adapt to the economic and regulatory trends of the last decade.
