Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Sliding-gantry computed tomography offers an interesting variety of treatment options for emergency radiology and clinical routine. The Frankfurt 2-room installation provides an interdisciplinary, multifunctional, and cost-effective concept. It is based on a magnetically sealed rail system for the permanent movement of the gantry between 2 adjacent rooms with fixed-mounted tables. In case of emergency or intensive care patients, routine scanning can be performed in room 1 until computed tomography diagnosis is required in room 2 and can then be continued in room 1 again. Moreover, this concept allows the simultaneous handling of 2 emergency patients.
