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.

_News and Notes

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.

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.
