AuntMinnieTV: Advances in CT Technology -- NeuroLogica

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

For years it's been thought that the barriers to entry in the CT market were so high as to prevent anyone but major multimodality vendors from participating in the business. But a new start-up firm called NeuroLogica is hoping to prove the conventional wisdom wrong with a new mobile CT scanner it debuted at last month's RSNA meeting in Chicago.

We're featuring a profile of NeuroLogica in the current segment of Advances in CT Technology, our ongoing AuntMinnieTV series on new CT technology introductions from the 2005 RSNA show. With this week's edition, you'll learn how the Danvers, MA, company hopes to carve out a niche that can help it compete with the big boys.

For one, NeuroLogica's CereTom scanner is a smaller, more economical system with a small gantry designed primarily for brain applications. CereTom also has a number of unique features, such as the ability to be moved directly to a patient's bedside, and then transmit images to a PACS network wirelessly or via a USB stick.
