United Imaging Healthcare said that it has donated CT scanners, x‑ray systems, and protective gear worth more than $1.4 million to hospitals in Wuhan, China, to aid in diagnosing patients with the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
The company said it finished installing one uCT 780 160-slice CT scanner and two uCT 760 128-slice CT scanners on February 1 at Huoshenshan Hospital, a 1,000-bed emergency field hospital that was built in less than 10 days in Wuhan. In addition, United Imaging said that it accelerated production to get more than 100 CT scanners and x-ray machines out quickly to hospitals in Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, Inner Mongolia, and other regions in China.
Furthermore, the vendor said it has also implemented its UIH Cloud remote diagnosis platform at frontline hospitals, enabling patient images scanned at designated hospitals to be uploaded to top hospitals in China for remote real-time diagnosis and guidance from doctors.
![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)
