Portable CT developer NeuroLogica has sold one of its CereTom CT scanners to a hospital in Pittsburgh, the Danvers, MA-based firm reported.

Allegheny General Hospital has purchased one of the units. CereTom is a portable eight-slice CT scanner that enables bedside scanning of the head, neck, and extremities regardless of the patient's location, according to the company.

In other CereTom news, the device was used to separate conjoined twins at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. CereTom scanned the twins during the surgery and immediately following, allowing surgeons to monitor the twins for brain bleeds before leaving the operating room.

Photon-counting CT emerges as alternative for assessing fatty liver disease

Photon-counting CT may serve as an alternative to MRI for assessing liver fat in patients with fatty liver disease.

September 24, 2024

Liver fat content measurement with photon-counting CT and MRI-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF). Three regions of interest (circles) were delineated in the peripheral areas of the left, right anterior, and right posterior lobes of the liver. (A) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp standard-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 33-year-old man (body mass index, 26.2) diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in the asymptomatic cohort. (B) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp low-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 69-year-old woman (body mass index, 24.6) in the MASLD cohort. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
