54 RISE OF THE DUAL-ENERGY CT When dual-energy computed
tomography (CT) medical
imaging was introduced to the health care world more than a
decade ago, the growth of the technology in academic settings began
to climb as physicians derived new and better use cases for the
modality. Today, it not only drives client decisions to upgrade
their existing installed devices but inspires OEM equipment
purchases at times when capital budgets are shrinking.
Dual-energy is primarily being implemented
at the larger, magnet facilities within
IDNs. Right now its within these magnet
facilities, but I de nitely see dual-energy
being shifted to the smaller, standalone
facilities in the future.
We will continue to foster
strong relationships through
solid performance and quality
workmanship at a fair price.

ANALYST: SUSPENSION OF TAX WILL REJUVENATE U.S. MARKETThe
suspension of the medical device excise tax, which was imple-mented
in 2013 as part of the Patient Protection and Aff ordable Care Act,
will have positive consequences for the U.S. medical device market
over the next few years, says an analyst with research and
consulting fi rm GlobalData.
The tax, which imposed a 2.3 percent tax on the domestic sales
of medical devices in the U.S., to be paid by manufacturers or
import-ers, was suspended on December 18, 2015, after the
Consolidated Appro-priations Act, 2016 was signed, which induces a
two-year morato-rium on the tax, eff ective January 1, 2016 to
December 31, 2017.
According to Jennifer Ryan, GlobalDatas analyst covering medical
devices, the tax was originally imple-mented to generate around $30
billion in funds to support the PPACA, under
the assumption that greater access to health care coverage would
create a larger market for medical devices. However, the fi rst
half of 2013 saw the tax raising only 60 percent of the expected
amount.
As well as lacking eff ectiveness, the tax had many costly
consequences for manufacturers, and was particu-larly crippling to
smaller companies, which were forced to face challenges such as
layoff s, cuts to research and development eff orts, and delayed
expansion plans, Ryan says. The tax also threatened to seize much
of the money spent on product innovation and advancement in the
U.S. medi-cal device market, which was already struggling under
stringent regulatory and reimbursement procedures.
The analyst adds that there were further concerns that patient
welfare would be aff ected by U.S. companies looking to market
products through
distribution channels overseas in order to avoid strict
regulations, thereby preventing U.S. patients from accessing the
latest technologies.
GlobalData believes the repeal of the act will be a relief to
small and mid-sized companies, which were struggling under its
weight over the past three years. However, this will be short-lived
unless further legisla-tive action is taken, and as the medical
device excise tax is set to be automati-cally reinstated on January
1, 2018.
While there are clear argu-ments for making the repeal
permanent, there are other con-sequences to take into account, as
funds originally garnered from the medical device excise tax,
largely used to back the PPACA, will need to be found elsewhere to
prevent any negative effects on the U.S. health care market, Ryan
con-cludes.

Alpha Source has announced the publication of a ret-roactive
data study on the total cost of ownership of ultrasound imaging
equipment. This study is based on the real-time experience of 673
ultrasound units in clinical use in U.S. hospitals and clinics.
The report Economic Value Analysis (EVA) on the Total Cost of
Ownership of GE Healthcare LOGIQ 9 Ultrasound Imaging Equipment is
an evidence-based approach to considering the economic benefits and
risks of comprehensive service contracts compared to billable
hourly service and in-house biomed resources. The study tracks the
service history of a large, nation-wide installed base of this
specific type of ultrasound equipment over the three-year time
period of 2010-2014. The equipment was serviced either by the OEM
or Alpha Source, a service provider for certain types of ultrasound
equipment.
We think its important for the HTM community to make informed
decisions on the best methods of service and support for medical
equipment, whether that involves the OEM, a qualified ISO, or
in-house biomed resources. states Don Smith, VP of Service for
Alpha Source and a co-author of the study.
The study shows that the range of service and parts expenditures
from unit to unit is wide. Although the average total annual spend
across all units was $9,800 per year, the high end of the range is
over five times the average. Furthermore, a significant number of
hospitals (23 percent) will spend 50 percent more than the average
cost of a contract and 10 percent will spend twice the average
annual price of a service contract by purchasing hourly billable
service (T&M) and parts.

Larger Bore SizeAccording to theAmerican Association of
Physicists in Med-icine(AAPM), Conventional radiation therapy
techniques often require patients to be in positions that can
prevent them from entering the 70 cm bore opening found on the
majority of CT scanners. 1 Because of this, anyscanner using CT sim
to plan radiation therapy treatments should have a
larger-than-conven-tional bore size.
Here are the bore sizes of several CT sim models from major
manufacturers:GE Lightspeed RT4 and RT16: 80 cmPhilips Brilliance
16 Big Bore: 85 cmSiemens Open AS 20: 80 cmToshiba Aquilion LB 16:
90 cm
Flat Table TopA CT sim unit also needs to have a fl at table
top. This feature eliminates diff erences between the tables of the
CT sim scanner used for planning and the linear accelerator used
for administering treatment. If precise patient positioning is not
reproduc-ible between the two systems, errors can occur.
External LasersWhile were on the subject of patient positioning;
a CT sim unit works best with external marking lasers. Patient
markingcanbe done with lasers inside the CT bore, but as AAPM says,
these lasers can be diffi cult to use due to small aperture of
scan-ner. 2 Ideally, marking lasers should be mounted outside the
CT gantry.
This allows for greater fl exibility and ease of use during the
patient mark-ing process.
HighTube MHU CapacityCreating an accurate treatment plan
requires a lot of images, which pro-duces a lot of heat in a
scanners X-ray tube over a short amount of time. A system with a
high tube heat capacity (expressed in millions of heat units or
MHU) is needed to accommodate this. CT scanners designed for
simulation use generally have tubes rated at 5 MHU or above.
Specialized Software Package Scanners used for CT sim use
dif-ferent software than their general diagnostic counterparts.
Along with a full-body volumetric image, AAPM tells us that the CT
sim system, pro-vides virtual representations of the geometric
capabilities of a treatment machine. 3 Essentially, a model of the
patient and a targeted treatment path are created by the software
from the raw scan data.
The Cost FactorWith all these additional, spe-cialized features,
youve probably guessed that a CT sim system costs more that
standard diagnostic CTs. If so, you are correct. Fortunately,
theres good news on how you can remain budget-conscious while still
stepping up your radiation

CT SIMULATION EQUIPMENT FEATURES SOLUTION
David Harns
By David Harns
I f your facility intends to pro-vide patients with radiation
oncology services, a CT scan-ner with CT simulation (CT sim)
capabilities is a tool youll need. These systems are used to create
patient models that are the basis for radiation therapy
treat-ments. Not just any CT scanner can be used for CT sim,
although all CT sim scanners can be used for general diagnostic
scanning. So, this leads us to the ques-tion:Which features
differentiate a CT simulation-enabled scanner from a standard CT
scanner?

oncology capabilities The patient volume on a CT sim
system is generally much lower than on a standard CT. Although
the high-capacity tube is part of the cost, this is offset by the
less frequent need to replace it.
Because of their unique capabili-ties, having a CT sim scanner
in your facility affords you the opportunity to be reimbursed for
an additional range of HCPCS codes.
CT sim systems are available on the refurbished market. A
refur-bished scanner is tested to the same standards of performance
as new equipment, but costs significantly less.
The TakeawayBroadening the scope of your patient services doesnt
need to be confusing or budget-busting. If radiation treat-ment
planning is a service you want to provide to your patients, keep
the four attributes mentioned above in mind as you shop around.
And, if the price tags on CT sim units are looking a little
intimidating, dont forget that the sec-ondary market can support
your needs with a refurbished scanner that has CT sim
capabilities.

Milwaukee, while remaining near an international transportation
hub. Headquarters were previously in Amersham, UK, which remains a
major location for GE Healthcare with its global Life Sciences head
office and base for UK operations.
We are excited to strengthen GEs roots in Chicago, where we will
continue our focus on being the lead-ing provider of outcome-based
solutions for the health care industry, John Flannery, president
and CEO of GE Healthcare, said. Chicago has a rich industrial
heritage, terrific international transportation links and is close
to some of the worlds leading health care and academic
institutions. It is also ideally located for many of GE Healthcares
operations.
GE Healthcare spokesman Benjamin Fox confirmed that Wisconsin
will remain a center for the companys global manufacturing and
leadership, as well as the global headquarters for its CT, MR and
X-ray businesses.
Diagnostic Imaging Services Inc. (DIS) of Metairie, Louisiana,

SIEMENS RECEIVES FDA CLEARANCE FOR BIOGRAPH HORIZON PET/CT
SYSTEMSiemens Healthcare has received 510(k) clearance from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Biograph Horizon
positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system.
The system leverages proven PET/CT technology to help providers
address more clinical indications in oncology, neurology, and
cardiology, while also introducing new effi cien-cies and cost
savings.
Biograph Horizon enables phy-sicians to visualize small lesions
early. The systems 4 mm LSO crys-tals scintillate faster and have a
higher light output than BGO crystals, resulting in high
resolu-tion and better image quality, and
enabling Time-of-Flight acquisi-tion. Biograph Horizons
capabilities are valuable for many indications, like lung cancer
the most common PET/CT indication, at 29 percent of the total exam
mix. As more than half of lung cancer patients are diagnosed at a
late stage and have an increased likelihood of distant metastasis,
more detailed patient data can help clinicians more accu-rately
stage disease and evaluate therapy response, contributing to more
eff ective care pathways.
As the smallest PET/CT system with the lowest power
require-ments, Biograph Horizon minimizes the initial capital
investment and is a smart choice for institutions look-
ing to replace their current PET/CT scanner, as the system will
fi t into virtually any existing PET/CT exam room. Biograph Horizon
off ers low operating and mainte-nance costs to help manage the
total cost of ownership, with automated technologies such as gentle
system warm-up and automatic standby that extend the systems
economic life in addition to reducing power consumption. And
Siemens Guard-ian Program predicts system issues before they occur,
lowering costs related to unplanned downtime by 43 percent.

CT MARKET CONTINUES TO GROWComputed tomography (CT) can be
described as an imaging procedure that uses special X-ray equipment
to create detailed scans of areas inside the body. It is also
called computerized tomography and computerized axial tomography
(CAT).
The term tomography comes from the Greek words tomos (a cut, a
slice, or a section) and gra-phein (to write or record). Each
picture created during a CT proce-dure shows the organs, bones, and
other tissues in a thin slice of the body, according to the
National Cancer Institute website. The entire series of pictures
produced in CT is like a loaf of sliced bread you can look at each
slice indi-vidually (2-dimensional pictures), or you can look at
the whole loaf (a 3-dimensional picture). Com-puter programs are
used to create both types of pictures.
Most modern CT machines take continuous pictures in a helical
(or spiral) fashion rather than tak-ing a series of pictures of
individual slices of the body, as the original CT machines did,
according to the website. Helical CT has several advantages over
older CT tech-niques: it is faster, produces better 3-D pictures of
areas inside the body, and may detect small abnormali-ties better.
The newest CT scanners,
called multislice CT or multidetector CT scanners, allow more
slices to be imaged in a shorter period of time.
CT is widely used to help diag-nose cancer as well as
circulatory system diseases and conditions, such as
atherosclerosis, blood ves-sel aneurysms, and blood clots; spinal
conditions; kidney and blad-der stones; abscesses; inflammatory
diseases, such as ulcerative coli-tis and sinusitis; and injuries
to the head, skeletal system, and internal organs. CT can be a
life-saving tool for diagnosing illness and injury in children and
adults.
Driven by supply-side initiatives to improve workflow, enhance
image quality and reduce patient discomfort, the global com-puted
tomography (CT) market is expected to increase to $5.9 billion by
2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7 percent,
according to business intelligence provider GBI Research.
The GBI Research report states that, combined, only four
com-panies accounted for more than 75 percent of the CT market in
recent years. These were GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, Toshiba
Medical Systems Corp. and Philips Healthcare.
According to GBI Research, these top firms are focusing on
expanding their manufacturing facilities into developing countries
such as India and China in order to increase revenue.
Companies such as Siemens Healthcare and GE Healthcare have set
up manufacturing facil-ities not only to meet domestic demand, but
also to export CT equipment to developed coun-tries, states Rashmi
Nishtala, GBI Resarchs Analyst covering Medical Devices. This move
is expected to significantly reduce the operating costs of these
firms, which will have a cascading effect on improving profit
margins.
Technological advances, such as lower imaging time and radiation
dose, are also expected to drive future CT market growth.
However, cost-cutting measures and limited reimbursement rates
will hinder the CT market.
