Original Abstract Submitted
a computed tomography (ct) imaging system includes a gantry having a bore, rotatable about an axis of rotation. the ct imaging system also includes a table configured to move a subject to be imaged into and out of the bore of the gantry. the ct imaging system further includes a radiation source mounted on the gantry and configured to emit an x-ray beam. the ct imaging system even further includes one or more smart sensors integrated with one or more components of the ct imaging system, wherein the one or more smart sensors are configured to monitor for one or more conditions related to the ct imaging system. the ct imaging system still further includes a controller configured to receive feedback from the one or more smart sensors and to adjust scheduling of service on the ct imaging system based on the feedback from the one or more smart sensors.
