The uCT ATLAS features an integrated uAI Vision 3D camera that enables an AI-empowered workflow, offering operational efficiencies to simplify complex exams.
"The speed of a large area coverage system coupled with a 0.25 second gantry rotation makes it easy to image a wide variety of patients, including pediatric and trauma patients as well as patients with compromised breathing," said Jeffrey Bundy, chief executive officer of United Imaging Healthcare Solutions. "In addition, low dose technologies such as 60 kVp scanning capability, uAI AI-IR and KARL 3D reduce radiation dose while maintaining image quality."

United Imaging also upgraded its entire installed base of uCT 5 series scanners with a new calcium scoring package as part of its Software Upgrades for Life commitment to customers, which included software and hardware, at no additional cost to customers. Via the upgrade, it delivered a prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated coronary artery calcium scoring scan mode software and an overall software package that provides three calculation parameters: Agatston score, volume score and equivalent mass.
Xoran Technologies
Xoran Technologies recently reintroduced a mobile CT scanner for intraoperative imaging. Called the xCAT XL, it is designed for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery.
“iCT provides surgeons with an effective tool to update surgical navigation, potentially improving surgical outcomes in both CMF and cochlear implantation surgery,” said Laura Dennis, vice president of sales and marketing for Xoran Technologies.
The company also improved the image quality of its xCAT IQ, a mobile CBCT used for imaging in both the operating room and neuro ICU, providing better differentiation of brain anatomy.
“In our current COVID pandemic environment, avoiding risky and uncomfortable intrahospital transport has become increasingly important,” Dennis said. “xCAT IQ does just that — allows clinicians to quickly and easily CT image these critically ill patients directly at the point of care, the neuro ICU.”
Xoran has also released a mobile, open-bore system for the veterinary market, technology it is looking to eventually carry over into medical imaging, allowing it to be used for spine, lung and orthopedic applications, among others.
