GE LightSpeed CT vs. BrightSpeed CT: The Main Differences

Posted by Vikki Harmonay on Thu, Mar 20, 2014 @ 17:03 PM

By far, the LightSpeed is still dominant over the BrightSpeed in systems installed.  Part of the reason for this is that it took some time for the BrightSpeed to catch on, particularly in the USA.  Initially, it was seen as the ‘budget version’ of the LightSpeed, and typically had fewer standard options.  However, a key advantage for some was that it had a slightly smaller footprint.  While this space issue is not a concern for most hospitals, it sometimes made the difference between getting a GE system or not for many clinics and imaging centers.

Need Radiology Equipment? Put the 179 Tax Deduction to Work for You

Posted by Vikki Harmonay on Tue, Dec 3, 2013 @ 16:12 PM

Does your practice, clinic or hospital need new radiology equipment? There’s never been a better time to take the leap, thanks to the new Section 179 Tax Deduction. You can find it on page 154 of H.R. 8: American Taxpayer Relief of 2012, which is better know as the “Fiscal Crisis Bill.” But what you really need to know is this: you can claim deductions on new or used radiology equipment and necessary supportive hardware and software.  And more importantly, you can actually purchase the equipment and make small monthly payments to pay for the use of it over time through a properly structured lease. Surprisingly, the tax savings can also be used to make some of the monthly payments, which could reduce the overall cost of ownership.
