The CTR1735 / CTR1725 / CTR1720 / CTR1740 X-ray Tube Family for Philips and Neusoft CT
Philips Brilliance and MX-series scanners, as well as Neusoft NeuViz scanners, are among the most in-demand systems of this class in clinics across Russia and the CIS. Their servicing comes down to the main wear item — the X-ray tube. This is exactly where clinics have the most questions when selecting a replacement.
In this guide we systematically examine the CTR family from our catalogue: CTR1735, CTR1725, CTR1720 and CTR1740. These are Chinese alternatives for Philips and Neusoft platforms; the data comes from the real MediAccessori nomenclature.
1. Why the CTR Family Is Four Different Tubes, Not One
Visually, tubes of the CTR family may look similar, but each of them corresponds to its own scanner platform. The differences lie in the mounting, the cooling system, the anode characteristics and the compatibility firmware. That is why selection is made strictly by CT model and original PN, not by appearance.
The family covers two large product lines:
- •Philips — Brilliance 16, MX4000, MX16 / Access Dual, new Brilliance series.
- •Neusoft — NeuVizDual, NeuVizTwin.
2. Item-by-Item Breakdown
2.1. CTR1735
PN: CTR1735
Target scanners: Philips Brilliance 16 (Access 16).
The Brilliance 16 is a high-volume 16-slice platform. The CTR1735 is supplied as a complete alternative with a factory warranty. Before ordering, confirm that your system is exactly a Brilliance 16 (Access) and record the original PN.
2.2. CTR1725
PN: CTR1725
Target scanners:
- •Philips MX4000
- •Neusoft NeuVizDual
This item covers two vendors at once — the shared platform allows one alternative to be used for both the MX4000 and the NeuVizDual. Selection by PN is mandatory.
2.3. CTR1720
PN: CTR1720
Target scanners:
- •Philips MX16 / Access Dual
- •Neusoft NeuVizTwin
An alternative for the MX16 / Access Dual and the NeuVizTwin. Like the CTR1725, it covers both Philips and Neusoft.
2.4. CTR1740
PN: CTR1740
Target scanners: new Philips Brilliance series (confirmed by PN).
The CTR1740 is intended for later Brilliance modifications. For this item, verifying the PN with an engineer before ordering is especially important.
3. Compatibility Table
| Original CT | Chinese alternative | PN |
|---|---|---|
| Philips Brilliance 16 (Access 16) | CTR1735 | CTR1735 |
| Philips MX4000 | CTR1725 | CTR1725 |
| Neusoft NeuVizDual | CTR1725 | CTR1725 |
| Philips MX16 / Access Dual | CTR1720 | CTR1720 |
| Neusoft NeuVizTwin | CTR1720 | CTR1720 |
| Philips Brilliance (new series) | CTR1740 | CTR1740 |
The four items are not interchangeable with one another. If in doubt, send a photo of the tube nameplate and the CT model.
4. How to Identify the Right Alternative from the CTR Family
Step 1. Determine the CT model The nameplate on the housing or "System Information" on the console.
Step 2. Find the original tube PN 1. Service documentation (the "X-ray tube replacement" section). 2. The nameplate on the tube itself. 3. The log of previous replacements.
Step 3. Compare with the table PN matched — order. Not matched — send a photo and the engineer will select a compatible tube.
5. Service Life and Economics
- •Service life: 500–1500 thousand exposure seconds (roughly 3–8 years at standard workload).
- •Price: about 1/3–1/2 of the cost of an original tube.
- •Limitation: the service life of a complete alternative is usually 60–80% of the original.
6. Common Selection Mistakes
- •Selecting by visual similarity. CTR tubes differ by platform.
- •Buying refurbished goods presented as new. Demand a factory test report.
- •Ignoring the generation. The MX4000 and MX16 are different platforms.
- •Installation without calibration. Air and phantom calibration are mandatory.
- •Ordering without consultation. Send the PN/photo before payment.
7. Delivery Times
- •From the Moscow warehouse: timing is confirmed when the order is confirmed (limited list).
- •Production + delivery from China: timing is confirmed when the order is confirmed.
- •Air express: timing is confirmed when the order is confirmed (+30–50%).
8. How to Order
- Write to Telegram @GEpartsV_bot or email [email protected], state the scanner model and the tube PN.
- The engineer will confirm compatibility and issue a quotation.
- Contract/invoice, 30–50% prepayment, balance before shipment.
- Shipment, tracking, delivery.
- Installation (by the clinic or our partner engineer).
