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.

![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)
