Portable CT developer NeuroLogica of Danvers, MA, is launching a new version of its technology for otolaryngology applications.
CereTom OTOscan is designed to bridge the gap between flat-panel dental scanners commonly used in ear, nose, and throat offices, and more expensive fixed CT scanners found in hospitals and imaging centers, the company said.
CereTom OTOscan is a portable eight-slice CT scanner that acquires 1.25-mm slices per rotation. It is 29 inches long, about 5 ft tall and 4 ft wide, and weighs approximately 750 lb. The system's battery can be recharged in any standard wall outlet and holds enough power to image four to eight patients, according to the company. The scanner also includes a mini-PACS system for use in the physician's office.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
