Importance of Maintaining Medical Imaging Equipment

Medical imaging equipment is vital for diagnosing patients with non-invasive measures. As such these machines require the utmost care and attention to ensure accuracy as well as longevity. Our team at Heritage System Services knows the importance of maintaining medical imaging equipment. And as always, we strive to provide the best service possible when handling imaging equipment. Preventative maintenance may seem pointless for equipment that operate normally at the time; however, preventative maintenance ensures the reliability of the equipment, and can even uncover and address unseen issues.

Imaging Equipment That We Maintain

At Heritage, we take pride in our team of specialized technicians who are adept at maintaining a diverse range of sophisticated medical imaging equipment. With expertise in servicing Siemens, GE, MRI, PET, CT scanners, as well as helium chillers and power injectors, we understand the precision and importance of maintaining medical imaging equipment required to ensure these systems operate flawlessly.

Siemens and GE: Siemens Healthineers and GE Healthcare are two of the leading manufacturers of medical imaging equipment globally. They produce a wide range of advanced medical devices, including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanners, as well as other medical equipment used in diagnostic imaging.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of internal structures and organs within the body. It is commonly used to diagnose a variety of medical conditions, including neurological disorders, musculoskeletal injuries, and cardiovascular diseases.
PET (Positron Emission Tomography): PET imaging is a nuclear medicine technique that uses a radioactive tracer to visualize metabolic processes in the body. It is often used in conjunction with CT or MRI scans to provide information about the function and activity of tissues and organs. PET scans are particularly useful in oncology for detecting cancerous tumors and assessing treatment response.
CT (Computed Tomography): CT scanning, also known as CAT scanning, combines X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. CT scans are valuable for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including trauma, cancer, and vascular diseases. They can provide information about the size, shape, and density of structures within the body with high resolution.
Helium Chillers: Helium chillers are cooling systems used in MRI machines to maintain the superconducting magnets at extremely low temperatures. These magnets require cryogenic cooling to operate effectively and produce the magnetic field necessary for imaging. Helium chillers help regulate the temperature of the magnets, ensuring stable and reliable performance of the MRI system.
Power Injectors: Power injectors are devices used to administer contrast agents during medical imaging procedures such as CT scans, MRI scans, and angiography. These contrast agents enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues in the images, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and assessment of medical conditions. Power injectors deliver the contrast agents at controlled rates and volumes, ensuring consistent image quality and patient safety.

Each of these components plays a crucial role in diagnostic imaging, allowing healthcare professionals to obtain detailed information about the structure, function, and condition of the human body. They are essential tools in modern medicine for diagnosing diseases, planning treatments, and monitoring patient health. That is why we take preventative maintenance so seriously at Heritage Systems Services because we know that all of this equipment is not only expensive to replace, but they also keep people healthy.
