    Patient Procedures

    The potential amount of patient procedures affected resulting from injector downtime events is calculated by multiplying the number of CT scanners impacted by the average number of contrast enhanced power assisted CT scans conducted per hour.

    For example: # of patients affected per day = (1 CT scanner)(12 scans per hour)(51% contrast enhanced*) (97% power assisted*)(8 hours per day) = 47.49 (~48 patients)


    Reimbursement Revenue

    The potential amount of reimbursement revenue affected resulting from injector downtime events is calculated by multiplying the number of CT scanners impacted by the average number of contrast enhanced power injected CT scan conducted per hour, then multiplied by the average reimbursement per scan.

    For example: Reimbursement revenue at risk per day = (1 CT scanner)(12 scans per hour)(51% contrast enhanced*) (97% power assisted*)(8 hours per day)($249 reimbursement per scan†) = $11,825

    Estimates are based on information provided by the hospital and actual results may vary. Estimates are for demonstrations purposes only and Bayer makes no warranty regarding the accuracy of these estimates.
