Samsung NeuroLogica has launched BodyTom Elite, a 32-slice, full-body portable CT scanner.
An upgraded version of BodyTom, BodyTom Elite received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance in June, the company said. It features a new visual design, along with an upgraded workstation, software, and hardware, according to the vendor.
Hardware enhancements include linear and step calibration for navigation accuracy in axial and helical scanning. The vendor has also incorporated a tilt sensor that indicates if there are any significant shifts on the floor. A step correction feature automatically adjusts for slight movements.
BodyTom Elite also includes an upgraded lift system to reduce setup time and enhance table alignment, according to the firm. Other enhancements include a two-way patient communication system and faster processing speed with 32 GB of RAM and an upgraded processor.
![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)
