Objective: To study the common faults of CT and the corresponding
solutions and preventive measures, so as to provide theoretical reference for the
clinical use and maintenance of CT. Methods: To study and analyze the CT failure
data in recent years, summarize the common failure positions, analyze the causes of
common failures, and provide solutions to common failures. Results: common faults
include: CT ball tube fault, collimator fault, slip ring system fault, high pressure system
fault, etc. There are many reasons for the failure, generally including the seizure and
failure of rotating parts; after long-term use, the instrument is worn, resulting in
low accuracy, loose parts, fracture and bending; due to the compact structure, large
working current and high voltage of the instrument, the gas electric failure often
occurs; the software is damaged, resulting in the CT machine can not work normally.
Sudden power failure, man-made damage, long-term loss and untimely maintenance
may cause CT machine failure. Conclusion: CT machine failure often occurs, different
brands and models of CT instruments may have different instrument failure. The
following preventive measures can effectively reduce the probability of CT machine
failure: staff should learn to correctly determine the cause of CT machine failure, and take effective measures in time. The sensitive parts shall be cleaned and maintained
frequently, the vulnerable parts shall be inspected regularly, and those with serious loss
shall be replaced in time. Pay attention to the working environment of CT machine
and ensure good humidity and temperature.
