USED CT SIMULATORS

CT Simulators have become the standard for simulation of patients for most radiation therapy practices around the world. Because CT Simulation is only typically performed during treatment planning, utilization of the CT Simulator is low relative to more heavily used linear accelerators.

ROS understands clinicians’ requirements for providing effective and reliable treatment planning tools while maintaining budget parameters. Our used and refurbished CT Simulator equipment solutions offer radiation therapy clinics a practical solution for upgrading or adding CT Simulation to a radiation therapy department.

ROS PROVIDES A VARIETY OF USED CT SIMULATORS

Depending on your clinical needs and patient mix, ROS has a CT Simulation solution to fit most radiation therapy practices.

There are four main categories of used CT Simulators available from ROS.


Single Slice CT Simulators	Large Bore Single Slice CT Simulators	Multi-Slice CT Simulators	Large Bore Multi-Slice CT Simulators

Selecting which CT Simulator is right for your practice begins by answering a few questions.

Questions to consider before purchasing a CT Simulator
Considering the above questions you can now closer determine which type of CT Simulator is right for your practice.

Single Slice

Single Slice CT Simulator

Many facilities around the world utilize single slice CT Simulation technology. If you are not in need of integrating with respiratory gating technology and do not require a 60cm FOV, then a single slice CT Simulator provides maximum value and reliability for your treatment planning needs.

ROS has an assortment of GE, Siemens, and Philips single slice CT Simulators available to install at your facility for a great price.

Large Bore Single Slice

Large Bore Single Slice CT Simulator

The first generation of large bore CT Simulators to enter the radiation therapy market was the Philips ACQSIM CT Simulator. This line of CT Simulators offered radiation therapy practices the ability to perform 3-D planning while allowing a larger aperture for patient positioning devices and a larger FOV (60cm).

ROS offers clinicians an affordable large bore CT Simulator solution using refurbished Philips ACQSIM CT Simulators.

Multi-Slice

Multi-Slice CT Simulator

Multi-Slice CT Simulators provide the advantages of Large Bore Multi-Slice CT Simulators for less money. The primary difference between traditional Multi-Slice CT Simulators versus Large Bore Multi-Slice Simulators is the field of view (50cm vs. 60cm).

Advantages of using multi-slice CT technology

Excellent image quality
Rapid image acquisition
Compatibility with respiratory gating technology

Large Bore Multi-Slice

Large Bore Multi-Slice CT Simulator

Large bore multi-slice CT Simulators offer distinct advantages for use in a radiation therapy setting.

Provides a large field of view (60cm FOV)
A large aperture (approximately 80cm) to allow patient positioning devices such as breast boards
Multi-slice detector technology in order to gain a more rapid image acquisition
Compatible with respiratory gating technology

Given these advantages, the drawbacks for purchasing a used, large-bore multi-slice CT Simulator are related to availability in the marketplace and price relative to the other lower priced CT Simulator options
