Background: The breakdown of healthcare facilities is a huge challenge for hospitals. Medical images obtained by Computed Tomography (CT) provide information about the patients' physical conditions and play a critical role in diagnosis of disease. To deliver high-quality medical images on time, it is essential to minimize the occurrence frequencies of anomalies and failures of the equipment.

Methods: We extracted the real-time CT equipment status time series data such as oil temperature, of three equipment, between May 19, 2020, and May 19, 2021. Tube arcing is treated as the classification label. We propose a dictionary-based data-driven model SAX-HCBOP, where the two methods, Histogram-based Information Gain Binning (HIGB) and Coefficient improved Bag of Pattern (CoBOP), are implemented to transform the data into the bag-of-words paradigm. We compare our model to the existing predictive maintenance models based on statistical and time series classification algorithms.

Results: The results show that the Accuracy, Recall, Precision and F1-score of the proposed model achieve 0.904, 0.747, 0.417, 0.535, respectively. The oil temperature is identified as the most important feature. The proposed model is superior to other models in predicting CT equipment anomalies. In addition, experiments on the public dataset also demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Conclusions: The two proposed methods can improve the performance of the dictionary-based time series classification methods in predictive maintenance. In addition, based on the proposed real-time anomaly prediction system, the model assists hospitals in making accurate healthcare facilities maintenance decisions.
