Preamble
1General information

To simplify handling and editorial effort for the current CT System Planning Guide (CT Sys-
tem PG) a common ...
• CT Basic Planning Guide (CT Basic PG) and
• CT Options Planning Guide (CT Options PG)
were developed.
Therefore, the CT Basic PG and the CT System PG must be used in addition when plan-
ning a CT system.

CT Basic PG 0

It includes both common information as well as facts independent of CT model or version

that are necessary for planning CT systems.
The basic requirements for planning CT systems may be identical for some systems inde-
pendent of the version model.
Therefore, in this CT System PG you find links to the CT Basic PG.

CT Options PG 0

There are CT options available and used by more than one CT system regardless of the
CT model or version.
This CT Options PG includes only the required planning information for the CT options that
are used by more than one CT system.
The content of this CT Options PG is limited to the technically required information to plan
the on-site preparation of the corresponding option only.
Therefore, in this CT System PG you find links to the CT Options PG.

Designation Description
System cables Clarify the required lengths.
(system connections) • E.g. MVT cable W4/ W5;
• Available lengths: 10 m/16 m/25 m
• Include them in the order.
Water hoses Clarify the required lengths.
(system cooling) • Available lengths: 10 m/20 m/30 m
• Include them in the order.
Sea level The project manager must clarify/find out the height above sea
level of the installation location and must provide the informa-
tion to the installation team.
Reason: For higher site locations, the air density is reduced
and therefore also the cooling capacity of the air. To compen-
sate for this circumstance, the air flow rate is increased depend-
ing on the height above sea level of the site location. The sea
level parameter must be entered into the software during instal-
lation.

Floor and building vibrations 0

General
Floor and building vibrations can reduce image quality.
Sources that produce vibrations are, e.g.,
• Railroad routes
• Subways
• Roads
• Road work and construction sites
• Hospital power plants
• Mines, open-cast mines, quarries (explosions)
• Ferry moorings
• Any other sources of striking vibrations
The CT system is not sensitive to common vibrations. If the CT is away from vibrational
sources, or the CT is replacing a CT system that to date has not shown image quality prob-
lems due to vibrations, it is usually not necessary to execute vibrational measurements.
If there are any doubts, the following thresholds have to be verified by measurement:
In the 3 spatial directions, acceleration in vibrations at the mounting points of the computed
tomography system (gantry and Patient Handling System PHS) must not exceed the
thresholds as described in the following sections.

Continuous vibrations

Fig. 21: Permissible acceleration for continuous vibration - diagram

Notes:
• The threshold is defined as acceleration rms value (root mean square) in m/s2 of an
FFT spectrum derived with a frequency resolution of 1 Hz and using a Hanning window.
• The vibrations have to be measured with a sampling rate of 1000 Hz using an anti-alias-
ing-filter with a limit frequency of 250 Hz.
• The threshold is valid for vibrations at the installation location with a CT in position.
• Measurements are usually taken at the site before the installation of the CT. Changes in
the eigenfrequency of the slab caused by the additional mass of the CT have to be con-
sidered when comparing the frequency spectrum with the threshold.
• Values of the threshold are given in (Tab. 11 / p. 39).

Transient vibrations (shocks)

Any transient vibration has to be less than 0.5 m/s2 peak-to-peak in the time domain.
• The vibrations have to be measured with a sampling rate of 1000 Hz.

Water drain for condensed water connection

The internal cooling system produces condensed water during operation. The condensed
water is collected in a water container (located within the gantry) up to a certain level. An
integrated diving pump empties the container from a certain water level and transfers it via

Siemens Remote Services (SRS) 3.6

In order to pursue a consistent Siemens Med service strategy, all CT systems must have
working SRS connections at the time of hand-over to the customer.
Siemens EPS (Enhanced Productivity Services) and RUH (Remote Update Handling) are
part of the Siemens Med Strategy and require a mandatory broadband VPN connection.
Consider line types such as ISDN or analog as fallback methods only.
All planning-related information for SRS must be taken from the “SRS Planning Guide”,
print number TDIT-000.891.01.06, established for this purpose.

Maximum distances - fixed points 4.2

The lengths of the cable kits that can be ordered are identical to the free cable lengths for
routing between the components. The cable lengths required for internal routing within the
components are already added to the lengths of the cable kits that can be ordered. As a
result, the final cable lengths delivered consist of both the lengths of the cable kits plus the
required length for internal routing. They are therefore always longer than the original
length of the cable kit specified.
“Maximum distance, fixed points” means the distance from the floor cut-out to the floor
cut-out between the components.

Chapter Changes Reason

Section “Room sizes”; subsection “Area requirements -
Minimal requirements from a technical point of view”;
fig. 11:
• The drawing and the legend were modified; the param- Modification
eter for the the scannable range was removed and number 549576
replaced with the placeholder “X”.
2
• Table 9 “Stepwise adjustable scannable range - PHS 4”
was added.
Section “Static requirements”; table 10:
• The values of the diameter and the bearing area were
corrected.
CHARM number
Section “Installation of components”; table 12; row “Floor TD_00010714
covering”:
• The diameter of the bearing areas of the adjustable feet
was changed from 68 mm to 80 mm.
Section “Installation of components”; table 13:
Modification
• A new row “Adjustable scannable ranges” was added to number 549576
the table.
3 Section “Dimensions for floor mounting - Gantry and CHARM number
patient table”; fig. 23: TD_00010714
• Item 2 in the legend was modified; the diameters of the
bearing areas of the adjustable feet were changed from
68 mm to 80 mm.
Section “On-site cooling requirements”: CHARM number
• The note “"Operation without water destroys the pump TD_00010665
in the cooling system" was removed.
Section “Wiring schematics - Standard components / Con- Modification
trol and data lines”; table 36; cable ID “W51”: number 542583

4 • The 16 m length is no longer being delivered for the

W51 cable; the W51 cable is now only available in a
length of 25 m. Therefore, the "16 m" for cable W51
length was removed from table.
Section “Electrical data / Transformers”; table 49:
• The information “Improvement of the line impedance” CHARM number
5 was removed. Reason: This statement is electrotechni- TD_00010616
cally incorrect because a pre-transformer does not
improve the line impedance.
