Samsung Electronics is debuting its new OmniTom mobile 16-slice CT scanner at the RSNA 2017 meeting in Chicago.
Features of the scanner include omnidirectional wheels, 16-slice (0.625 mm per slice) data acquisition, a gantry opening of 40 cm, and an internal drive system. The OmniTom has a rapid scan time with immediate scan viewing that makes it particularly suitable for cranial procedures, according to the company.

The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
