  2. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology Are you considering a Bariatric CT Scanner for your hospital, clinic, practice or urgent care? Bariatric CT Scanners are growing in popularity,Bariatric CT because they’re ideal for use with patients who are obese or claustrophobic. They have larger bore sizes and are equipped with bigger generators with higher output. These high-powered generators provide quick scan times, increase productivity and reduce patient time in a scanner. Bariatric CT Scanners also have an increased field of view and bigger tables. They also have excellent post processing software that can perform neuro, cardiac and various GI studies.

  3. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology Did you know that 36% of American adults and 17% of children are considered obese? That’s why bariatric imaging has been embraced by radiology departments nationwide. In the past, many CT scans had to be cancelled when the patient arrived, because obese patients weighed too much for the table or couldn’t fit inside the gantry. This was difficult for patient scheduling. In addition, because of the numerous artifacts caused by massive tissue densities, the image quality was poor. Movement causes by nervousness or discomfort often ruins studies, which also led to rescheduling or prolonged scans.
