Ge was here to replace the mcu on this scanner, which is what was determined to be the culprit for why the scanner keeps cutting off mid-scan randomly.They replaced it and left; i went to scan an adrenal protocol on a patient that begins with a noncontrast scan of the abdomen and pelvis and the machine stopped after trying to acquire 1 image.I reloaded the scan and the machine stopped after a short series of images were acquired that only made it to the top of the patient's kidneys.At this time, i had to relocate the patient to our other scanner and call ge to come back to reevaluate this scanner as the problem is not fixed.At this moment they are here saying a controller is bad.The same area of interest/anatomy on this patient was irradiated 3 times in an effort to complete this scan.
