Medical Imaging Sourcing FAQs

Expert insights on planning and procuring hospital radiography and radiology suites.

Q.What are the core room requirements for installing a CT scan or MRI suite?

CT scanner rooms require lead-lined doors and a lead-glass observation window (2.0mm Pb equivalent). MRI suites require specialized RF shielding (Faraday cage) and non-ferromagnetic patient stretchers for safety.

Q.What is the difference between Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radiography (DR)?

CR uses phosphorus imaging cassettes processed in a laser reader/digitizer. DR uses flat-panel detectors that send x-ray images directly to a computer in real-time, drastically reducing scan times.

Q.What radiation safety protective gear is mandatory for medical imaging?

Technicians and radiologists must wear lead aprons (0.5mm Pb equivalent) and thyroid collars. Staff exposure must be monitored monthly using TLD badges in compliance with CDSCO guidelines.

Q.What software is used for viewing and archiving clinical medical images?

Radiology images are saved in the DICOM standard and stored on a PACS server, which enables radiologist reporting workstations and digital image distribution.
