A radiology department only works when every modality – MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound – stays online at the same time. Engineering Siemens Imaging Reliability: A Maintenance Training Course, delivered by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, is built around that operational reality, preparing engineers to service the full range of Siemens imaging technology rather than a single machine type.

The course moves modality by modality – MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound – covering the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair each one demands, before turning to the cross-cutting skills of system integration, diagnostics, and long-term reliability planning. Engineers leave able to service an entire Siemens-equipped imaging department, not just one corner of it.

Who Should Attend?

• Biomedical engineers and technicians servicing Siemens medical imaging equipment.
• Engineers working in hospitals, healthcare facilities, or service centres that maintain Siemens imaging systems.
